Like UNC and Duke battle for the bell when they meet on the football field each year, Wisconsin and Minnesota play for Paul Bunyon's axe!

homecoming parade
A couple Fridays ago was the University of Wisconsin's homecoming and the big game against Minnesota.
Isn't that funny? What's funnier is that the axe replaced the former trophy, the Slab of Bacon!
But this post is not really about Paul Bunyan or bacon. It's about the Homecoming Parade! The parade was the evening before the game and was lots of fun. Dave found us a great vantage point up on a second story balcony on State Street so we had great views of the band...
...and Bucky!

Their band looks huge. How does it compare to UNC-CH?
ReplyDeleteIs that the alumni band or the active band in those shots? (If the current band, why aren't they in uniform? tsk tsk! If that's the alumni band, holy cow, it's HUGE!)
ReplyDeleteThe slab of bacon made me laugh out loud! The Wisconsin-onians are crazy!
ReplyDeleteB, I think the band is bigger than UNC's, but I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteM, that's the current marching band. Are you surprised? ;) Alumni band was there too and they are huge!!
C, isn't that hilarous!?!
