August 17, 1991

There's not much time for chores this morning.  We have tickets for the Bills-Packers game at Camp Randall Stadium and Larry and Martha are hosting a tailgate party.   Parking is a breeze; Larry saves a place in his garage.  During the game, Andy stretches my patience to the limit.  I take him to the bathroom three times before halftime, to the concession stand twice.  I hope he'll want to walk around the playing field during the 4th quarter but he doesn't take to the idea.  We delay our departure home until 45 minutes after the game but still experience gridlock.  JoAnna is tired after a busy week so she takes a nap as soon as we get home.  I take Andy grocery shopping with me.  JoAnna settles on soup for supper, but I'm hungry for something more substantial so I grill some beef ribs and potatoes and steam some broccoli. 

Camp Randall Stadium: the View from Section BB

Too early for most of the students to show up. It's nowhere near the 2nd quarter.


ThePurdue Boilermakers come to town to play the Wisconsin Badgers. At least, that's what we had been told. Once the game got underway, it quickly become obvious that Purdue had not come to play.

For Purdue's sake, it would have been better to let the UW Marching Band play for 3 hours. I've never seen such an embarassingly inept college football team.

The student section is starting to fill up during the pregame festivities.

The Badgers take the field.

The team heads for the sidelines. (Hey, this was actually more exciting than most of the game.)

Badgers had a 31-0 lead at the half at went on to win 37-0. Oh, and the student sections started to empty out immediately after "Jump Around".
