Best Gameday Ever

My day began around 5:45 am, my roommate John and I made our way to Camp Randall to experience College GameDay live. The sign I made had the word Erin on it, so the security guys at ESPN threw it away. After trying hard to get myself on TV, I was able to catch glimpse of my face in the last 10 minutes of the broadcast. Success.

The whole day turned out perfect. It was 70 and sunny and the town was filled with red and white the entire day. It was the most crowded I had ever seen Madison on a game day.

The stadium was packed to capacity. And before I knew it the badgers were up 7 to nothing. David Gilreath returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and it was probably the coolest thing I have ever witnessed live at a football game. The amount of noise the crowd generated was incredible. Turn your speakers up for this one...



The badgers upset #1 in the nation and I stormed the field. I love Badger football.


ESPN analyst Scott Van Pelt described Madison perfectly that day.

Local Natives

I saw the Local Natives in concert a couple weekends ago in Chicago. They are easily becoming one of my favorite bands to listen to these days. Here is a song that is growing on me.
