What happens in Vegas â?¦ stays in Vegas.
What else stays in Vegas? Wisconsin fans. Over 20,000 of them. This was evident strolling down Las Vegas Boulevard, i.e. “The Strip,” where virtually every other pedestrian was wearing either a red or white Badger shirt. High fives and “Go Badgers!” were common greetings of solidarity amongst passersby in anticipation of the UNLV-UW football game.
….Badger Backers, and their record-breaking fandom, can’t stay in Vegas. They put their money on their team, wherever they go. And that’s where the real jackpot is.
(Chris Kennedy, a Waunakee native who was a walk-on to the University of Wisconsin football team during the first four seasons of the Barry Alvarez Era, has written a book about his experiences. “No Bed of Roses” will be released Sept. 28.)
