Good Day to Be From Wisconsin

Today, my day began like most other days begin. I awoke far earlier than I would have liked to, and it was all thanks to the annoying beeps of my alarm clock. My breakfast was rushed, and before I even felt awake I was scurrying out the door. when I emerged outside the air felt cool, and there was dew on the windows. A familiar question passed through my mind, would today be a good day?

Under normal circumstances, that question takes thoughtful delibration. There are events, encounters, and occurances throughout the day which will affect the final decision. In other words, I usually can't wake up and say the day is going to be a good day before living it.

Some days I can though. I am a huge Wisconsin sports fan. Today and this entire weekend were days in which Wisconsin sports fans like myself got lucky, and knew that their days were going to be enjoyable even before they woke up. There were going to be two huge sports games each day to watch. Huge games will make any sports fan happy, well at least untill they are over.


This weekend could be argued as one of the greatest weekends in history for Wisconsin fans too. To me, it would have been entertaining and awesome regardless of outcome of my team's scores. I was able to wake up today and knew the day was going to be great just because I could watch my teams.

The Badgers versus Nebraska, the start of the playoffs for the Brew Crew versus Arizona, and the undefeated Green Bay Packers versus Denver were all factored into the adrenaline pumping through Wisconsin fan's veins. Especially after the Brewers game 1 win and the Badgers crushing victory over the Huskers, we could all wake up today and know our it was going to be great. There is nothing better to a sports fan than watching huge games, even when your team doesn't preform as well as expected.
