Thanks for the example that proves my point that I don't sandbag, I just accurately predict games: YES, LSU was the favorite with Vegas and YES I did say I thought LSU would win and YES I was correct. LSU won.

I give up. You folks will obviously believe whatever you wish even in the face of obvious and overwhelming proof to the contrary.

Wrong, I do not watch Fox News (or MSNBC).

Having brats and Sconnie beer at State Street right off campus here in Madison. Have seen a fight and two girls kissing. It's gonna be a good night.

Madison is a cool city. Kinda like a midwestern version of Austin...

Only time in Madison was for the 2002 OSU-Wisky game. Fans were not nearly as bad as their reputation, at least not that year.

I have a conference. Out in the middle of nowhere, Verona, Wi, is the headquarters of a world-class, billion dollar healthcare computer eDoc company. It's called Epic.

And I'm digging Madison. Sitting on the patio here at State Street Brats, and it's 65F and about 15% humidity. Feels like late October feels in Bham.

Spent Thurs-Sunday in Chicago. Good times there, and now the good times in Madison.


Yes, I've missed the road junket, business trip.

Have to admit it's been 25 years since I was in Madison, but it made a strong favorable impression. Sounds like things haven't changed much, which I'm glad to hear. The student union sat right by a good sized lake and they served a wide variety of good beer, which (if it's even still there) I suspect has expanded since 1987. I might feel a little out of place at the student union these days (not that I'd let that stop me), but it was a great setting...

You can see Madison from Muir Woods. If you don't believe me, put in "hasler laboratory of limnology" into google maps and see what comes up...

Hot Waitress - "You're not from around here, are ya?"

Me- "Nope."

HW - "Where ya from?"

Me- " Alabama by way of New Orleans."

HW- "No, you're not from the South - that's obvious - where ya from?"

Me - "No, really, Alabama by way of NOLA."

HW- "I'm not dumb! Communications is my major and I'm more Southern than you and I've never been south of St. Louis! Where ya from?"

Me- "Phoenix."

HW- "I knew it!"

You left out a couple of "Doncha know's" and "yah's" and "You betcha's" from the waitress's script.

If she's from Madison, she doesn't shave her armpits or legs, and is probably a lesbian.
