I think everyone is being a little too nice. After I personally was a witness to how we were treated in Madison last year
Madison represents Wisconsin as much as Ernie Chambers represents Nebraska. Madison, Wisconsin is a slice of Cal Berkeley transported to a nice state. I spent a lot of time in Wisconsin, and the difference is akin to upstate New York vs. New York City.
Besides that, what
you are is what
you choose to be. No amount of Colorado fans, Texas Longhorns, or a slice of the Badger student body can affect your behavior. It's all whatever
you want to be, so don't blame what
you do or don't do on what someone else once did or didn't do. </SERMON>
