Just get a can of orange spray paint and start writing "Beware the Flock" around Madison on overpasses - kind of like the "Trust Jesus" guy.

Fear4 is good. I wore a BG shirt each day and only got a look from one Wisky fan in the Pizzaria Uno by campus. I even tried talking loudly on my cellpone about how I was spreading BG spirit around Madison...nothing. It is hard to pick a fight when there are very few strudents here and you have your family with you and impressionable young children.
Will msg from home.

That wouldn't stop their tailback, Calhoun.

Don't you mean Booker Stanley? I mean, assuming you're playing off the shoving women around reference.

Dammit mixed the guy up. Too much Street & Smith's and entering rosters of NCAA 2006. Thanks TG.
Did you visit the Rathskellar in the memorial Union yet?

That and the terrace behind it are just great spots.
If kids are in tow, go through the food line and get them some of Carson Gully's fudge bottom pie. (Carson Gully was a much revered black chef on campus in the first half of the 20th century.)
For dinner (or lunch) with kids, take them to Ella's Deli on East Washington Ave. It's just East of the intersection of East Johnson and E. Wash. Not sure it's still there, but they used to have a merry-go-round out front. I promise it will be one of the things your kids remember about the entire trip.

Bucky - we passed Ella's Deli on the way to the Uno's and back. We decided not to give it a go because the kids were tired and a bit surly from the car ride down from the northwoods.
That place is amazing. All in all, I wish we could have stayed in Madison for much longer. What a great place...
