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. --mark 'just discovered the wonderful world of gopher' grassl [log in to unmask]
