Ron Dayne, Dan Patrick, and the Heisman
What a great weekend. We were in Madison for the Michigan game, which the Badgers won handily, improving to 8-2. Before the game the Sports Illustrated/Nissan Heisman Tour was set up on the practice field and it was awesome. The Heisman was there in all its glory and Dan Patrick and Ron Dayne were there to sign free autographs. The previous week my ears kept perking up during Dan Patrick’s show as he was continuously ending a commercial with the information “see me in Madison on Nov. 14 as Michigan takes on Wisconsin”. The problem is that I was never paying attention to the beginning of the commercial and only paid attention when I heard him say he would be in Madison. On Friday night after doing some Google searches I finally figured out what was going on. I of course made it a point to get down there early, missing most of the chili breakfast at the Field House, but it was totally worth it. I got a picture with Ron Dayne and his autograph. I don’t know if I can think of a piece of Badger memorabilia that I’d rather have. The Packers are shaping up to win against the Cowboys with eight minutes left in the game, too. Great Wisconsin weekend!
