Heading out the door for an easy 4 mile recovery jog with con woofer.

Wearing this U Mad shirt which Earl snagged me when we visited his alma mater.

Wearing this shirt for a run really brings out the San Francisco peanut gallery. I never knew there was such Wisconsin pride around here until I sported this one day on a jog through Golden Gate Park.  I’d say I get about… at least 5 or 6 people shouting something out to me per run.
Back of the shirt sports the same deal (writing on hat reads “Girdwood, Alaska” which is NOT reversed, the U Mad image actually reads backwards, flippy mirror trick).

Comments range from:

  • The obvious: “Go Wisconsin!”
  • “Go Badgers!”
  • “Yeah, BUCKY!!”
  • “Hey, I went there!”
  • “My boyfriend/girlfriend/mother/father went there.”
  • “WISSSSSSSSSCOOOOOOOONNNNNNSIIIIIIINNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
  • “I’d like to see YOUR badger.”  (Me: [thinking] “Doesn’t he mean beaver?”)
  • “What is that?  A ferret?”
  • “Are you from Wisconsin?”
  • “YEAHHHH SCONNIE PRIDE DUDE!!!!!!!!!!”
  • “Hey Wisconsin- How ya liking the California sunshine?”
  • “Wow, that shirt is really red.”
  • “Beersconsin!”
  • “Go Pack”
  • “whooo cheeseheads”
  • etc, etc, etc.

Takeaway: If you are uncomfortable in the public eye, do NOT rock a University of Wisconsin t-shirt while running!
