ASK THE BADGERS
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
What does your team do for
food on road trips?
RYAN TAYLOR // REDSHIRT FRESHMAN // WRESTLING (125 LBS)
"Before every match I get about a half-gallon of chocolate milk and a
bunch of mix fruit and blend it up and drink it. On the road, we stop
at a grocery store and the whole bus empties out and we have time
to spend our per diem on whatever we want. I usually have my food
packed because with my weight cut I have to do a little bit smarter
diet. I eat the same thing every day, all week and on the weekends.
I eat the exact same thing to the pound. The exact routine."

JOSH GASSER // REDSHIRT JUNIOR // MEN'S BASKETBALL
"We're all about routine on the basketball team. So every
night before a road game we eat at the team hotel and
have the same menu: salad, steak, chicken, potatoes, green
beans, lasagna and always clam chowder for some reason.
Then pregame is also at the hotel and again always the
same: salad, pasta, chicken, salmon, chicken noodle soup."
PERSON // JUNIOR // MEN'S HOCKEY
"We always have Chipotle on Thursday for lunch when we are heading out of
town, then that night we eat a good steak dinner at a local place in whatever
city we are in. The rest of the time we eat our meals in the hotel – breakfast,
pregame and then a postgame meal late at night to help for recovery.
MARISSA MERSCH // JUNIOR // SOFTBALL
"For breakfast we usually just eat in the hotel. Before the trip we put in
orders for lunch, it is a lot of sandwiches. Sometimes in between games
we just eat snacks. Fruit, trail mix, PURE bars and beef jerky. We usually
get one night to eat out with our family. I like to get steak when I go with
my family. Last weekend I got crab legs and an appetizer."
