[The Wisdom of a Distracted Mind] Hey Vegas! Go Shopping!

Let's see...

It's Saturday, and my beloved UW Badgers are playing today (Yes. UW. The REAL UW! Bite me Washington!).

They're taking on UNLV, and for those of you in Las Vegas who missed the events back in 2002, and those who possibly haven't yet experienced the maddening horde that is the Wisconsin faithful, let me just clue you in as to what to expect when the Badgers are in town playing your Runnin' Rebels.

First, it's important to note that there will probably be about 20,000 red-shirted Wisconsin fans with cheese on their heads in your stadium which conveniently holds a scant 36,800.

Also, the last time we were there, two or three casinos had been drunk absolutely bone dry, and most of your famous all-you-can-eat Vegas buffets had to shut down and lock their doors early, so please do try to stock up on food and beer (Don't worry; the same thing happened in Pasadena when we went to the Rose Bowl. I'm talking to you House of Pies! And yes! I DO hold a grudge awfully long, don't I?).

Perhaps most important: Electricity. It's hard enough playing football in the freakin' desert. It's almost impossible playing football in the desert in the dark. So, please try to keep the bloody lights on.

Other than that, it should be a fine and exciting contest. The Big Ten is somewhat struggling this year (as I write this, Ohio State and Michigan State are both losing to unranked teams, and after the embarrassment Michigan suffered last week, I can imagine your excitement. Even I'm giddy). Just remember, keep the lights on, feed us well, keep us drunk and no one will get hurt.
