'' BADGERS Ask The
As a Wisconsin native, what was your first exposure to Badgers athletics?
Question of the Week: MICHELLE MUELLER • JUNIOR • SOFTBALL • LA CROSSE, WIS.
"My first UW exposure was going to a Badger football game back in the seventh grade. I remember buying a T-shirt inside of Bucky's Locker Room because I had spilled something on mine, so I needed a new one, of course! Then I got to my seats and Camp Randall soon became the most fascinating place I had ever seen. It still is!"
JOSH GASSER • JUNIOR • MEN'S BASKETBALL • PORT WASHINGTON, WIS.
"My older sister, Becky, went to UW, so I remember going to Badgers football games all the time when I was about 10 years old or so. I loved watching the student sec- tion and I remember thinking how cool it would be to be a part of that. The game that sticks out in my memory most was the football win over Minnesota in 2005 where we blocked the punt to win in the game. My sister went to UW and her husband went Minnesota so we had a family rivalry going on."
CLAIRE RADDATZ • SOPHOMORE • VOLLEYBALL • MEQUON, WIS.
"One of my first UW memories is from when I was about 2 years old. My dad (for- mer UW football player Craig Raddatz) would run the Crazylegs Classic and I would be dressed in a cheerleader outfit. I'd cheer him on and then we'd go on the field and I would meet Bucky. It was so fun being on the field with all of the fans."
MICHAEL BRICE • JUNIOR • MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY • NEENAH, WIS.
"Since both of my parents are University of Wisconsin alumni, I have been attending Badger athletic events as long as I can remember. My first memories of Madison are watching Badger football games, listening to the marching band practice and eating breakfast at Mickies on game day."
