The game

Saturday was the big Northwestern-Wisconsin game. Unfortunately for us, with our quarterback out for the season with a torn achilles and Wisconsin needing just a victory to clinch a Rose Bowl berth, the game wasn't pretty. In fact, it was painful to watch! I won't mention the final score, but suffice it to say that we didn't get beaten as badly by them as Indiana did the week before! 
But we still had fun being there--Ed's first game at Camp Randall, and my first in almost 10 years. We left Thomas with a babysitter, bundled up, and cheered (the UW fans) and groaned (NU fans). 

Dad wore purple to even out the loyalties. He has a purple jacket; Ed and I only have purple shirts, so when we had our jackets on, he was taking all of the jeering himself. Sorry dad! 

The famous "house divided" flag. Not a great picture, as it was taken in the parking garage!
