Evanston, here we come

Five-game losing streak be damned, we're going to Evanston today!

Granted, it would be much better if we were riding a five-game winning streak, or if we were within a stone's throw of first place, this game would be much more interesting. But it's still a chance to see the Badgers in person, in a new venue, which is a real treat.

I believe this is the first time I will have seen the Wisconsin basketball team in a true road game. Hopefully the host fans are gracious.

It would be great if there are more Badger fans in attendance than Northwestern fans, as appeared to be the case in our Big Ten title-clinching win at Welch-Ryan Arena last year. The recent losing streak may have tempered the enthusiasm to drive even two hours to suburban Chicago, but I'm thinking we'll be well-represented.
