While visiting in Mankato I had the chance to see the UW Badgers take on the MSU-Mankato Mavericks.  Mom was busy, so I went to the game with my new Mankato friends: Brian, Wally, and Alec.  Brian and I sat 3 rows behind the Badgers bench --awesome seats!  I wore my Badger jersey but was definitely surrounded by Mavs fans, including these three young girls sitting in front of us who constantly heckled me.  The Mavs went up 1-0, but the Badgers scored 3 un-answered goals to take a 3-1 lead.  MSU tried to catch up at the end, but the Badgers won 3-2.

Brian, Alec, and Wally joined me at the game.  Too bad they were cheering for the losing team!
Drop the Puck!
