No matter the sport, be it the Packers, Badgers (Football or Basketball or Hockey) no other state in the Union even comes close to sports success!!!!!!!!

Aren't you just full of yourself! The Packers win a Superbowl and that offsets all the other losers in big games........... Badgers, Brewers, Bucks and I guess I overlooked your NHL team.
Having moved from Wisconsin in 1970, I can agree.............. It is GREAT to be FROM Wisconsin. And yes, I'm still a Packers fan every year, not just this one.:cheers:

Hey, I was glued to the TV rooting for the Badgers as well. But.............when it gets to the big game that means championships, only the Packers have produced. Well, there was this guy named McGuire who managed to do it at Marquette.
But, this.....

That statement is wayyyyyy over the top..........
I don't remember having that much brandy in my coffee while sitting at Milwaukee County Stadium watching the Packers in sub-zero temperatures. Or for that matter, on the boat during Cohorama on Lake Michigan. My, how times have changed!!! LOL

Glad to have moved FROM WI. Wait until your tax bill comes.... Jusy saying.
If you knuckleheads need to come up with some justification for living in Wisconsin leave the sports out of it. Stick to the beer, Brats, Cheese, fishing, hunting and beautiful women.
