Wall to wall people and wall to wall excitement.

With Badger Football Coach Barry Alvarez.

With Current Phone Slap Jason Stewart.

With Packer Legends Jerry Kramer (l) and Fuzzy Thurston (r). Fuzzy can't really speak anymore, but provided the utmost in passion and energy. One of the highpoints was when he got into a three point stance like he was ready to go out and play a few downs.

Half of the world famous Brewers sausages.

Believe it or not, it was actually warm enough to play golf on this day. And to think Rome, a "California pussy," as he put it was worried about snow and sub zero temps.

Tailgating all the way from Peoria, Illinois.

Peoria, that's nothing. They came from Minnesota.
