Badger Game Day Planner

UW FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

Ahh... football Saturday in Madison.  You can already hear the strains of Build Me Up Buttercup, Sweet Caroline and Jump Around mingling with the roar of Badger fans — all decked out in red and white — from Camp Randall. It can’t be beat!

GAME DAY MORNING...

How about starting the game day with a coffee or breakfast at one of Madison’s hometown restaurants? Get your favorite latte or black coffee along with a scone, muffin or morning bun at the popular Colectivo Coffee (on Monroe St., State St. or the Square) or one of the Barrique’s locations around town. Or check out Moka, Indie Coffee, Café Zoma, Michelangelo’s, Lazy Jane’s, Ancora Coffee, EVP or one of the many locations of Starbucks. And who could pass up a coffee shop called Chocolaterian Cafe?

If you’re hungry for more than just a pastry, head to Mickies Dairy Bar on Monroe St. by Camp Randall. But beware — this delicious diner is both popular and tiny. Be prepared to wait — but it’s worth it! Other yummy Madison favorites are Marigold Kitchen, Short Stack Eatery, Bassett St. Brunch Club, Monty’s Blue Plate and The Original Pancake House. A word to the wise — fill up before you hit a Badger tailgate!

Still hungry? Or feeling healthy? Why not take in the Dane County Farmer’s Market? Filling the “Square” around the state capitol, you’ll find everything from fruits and vegetables to pastries and plants. Cheese, pastas and jams are also popular — and fall is a great time to bite into a crispy locally grown Wisconsin apple.

TAILGATE TIME!

Why not attend a Badger Huddle or Badgerville Pre-Game tailgate outside Camp Randall? Beer, wine, soda, water or Bloody Marys in red Solo cups provide the perfect accompaniment to the ever-popular chips and dip, cheese and crackers (gotta have cheese in Wisconsin!) and fancier appetizers. Grill your own brat or burger, buy them at a street stand or wait to get your “entre” in the stadium.

THE GAME!

If you don’t have a ticket — or it’s an away game and you don’t have cable/satellite TV — head out to one of the local sports bars, Union South or even Rocky’s to watch the game with fellow fans.

Sunday 12.7.14

We went to Madison to see John Oliver tonight. In case you are not familiar with him, he was on The Daily Show for a few years and now hosts his own show, Last Week Tonight, on HBO. The show opened on time to a full house in the Orpheum Theater. Former SNL “featured” comedian, Brooks Wheelan was the warm up act.

John Oliver started around 8:20 and he was funny as hell for about an hour and a half…
