Badger fans were terrific!

I went to the game yesterday as a Duck fan, and must say how truly impressed I was by every Badger fan I met. This included some nice pre-game tailgate with a few of your brothers and sisters. I sat next to a number of Badger fans at the game and they too were great both during and most importantly after the game (when it can be hard to be). Two years ago, I witnessed the opposite from a number of Buckeye fans who were completely awful to a number of us after that game. Again, it was a wonderful game, and you guys proved to be by far the classiest opposition fan base I have met!

Good luck next year, I will be rooting for Bucky in the future as my new 2nd favorite team.

I get the feeling a lot of Ducks fans came away with that impression.

Good to hear, thanks for stopping by! We’ll get you guys back next year.

I hope in the BCS Championship game.
No more of that SEC bullshit.

The SEC bullshit wouldn't have happened this year...

… if the Pac 10 and Big 10 hadn’t opted to take the money over a plus 1 several years ago.

Enjoy the win!

Much respect to the Oregon. There is no place for hate amongst fans of opposing teams IMHO. Respect the game, respect the opponent and respect the opposing fans. Glad to hear your interaction with Wisconsin fans was positive!

Unless they are Michigan fans.

I kid…

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for a good game.

I hate losing, but when we lose to a team as good as Oregon and it’s down-to-the-wire, I feel a little better about losing. I’m not surprised you found our fans nice and respectful, I’m just glad you didn’t end up sitting next to one of the few UNrespecftul ones (there’s always a few) and get the idea that we are all that way.

Thanks guys

Based on the posts here in response to my OP I can see that my game day perception was accurate. Classy folks who love their team much like I do my Ducks. I loved BlackPack-fan’s first comment, I think we both can agree that we are SO DONE with the SEC lovefest. Sorry we did not knock them off their pedestal last year. Close, but no cigar…
