        At Wisconsin, the fans head for the beer gardens between periods.
        The mass exodus usually starts with 1-2 minutes left in the period.
        What is annoying is when people don't get back to their seats
        before the next period and obstruct the view as they stumble
        back 5-10 minutes into the new period.  Do these people just come
        for the beer?  (This is a rhetorical question so please no snide
        responses.)  Unfortunately, the only beer served is either Miller or
        Bud :-(.  Why can't they serve a real beer like Leine's of Berghoff.
 
        Me, I've got a wooden leg so I always finish my barley pop with
        plenty of time to spare.  In fact, I volunteer to help others
        finish in time.
