As a Badger fan, I remember a couple great series that happened between us
and the Sioux, especially the last series of the year in 1990.  We tied the
first night, and the Badgers clinched the MacNaughton Cup with an overtime
win Saturday night.
 
Of course, there was also that unfortunate incident in Grand Forks where the
dead badger was thrown on the ice.  That still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
