Madison is the place to be this weekend if you are a collegian, or at least one at heart. It's another one of those double sports weekends, with the men's hockey team playing two games against New Hampshire at the Kohl Center and the football team taking on Purdue in Big Ten play. Oh, and then there is that whole Halloween thing, you know, the largest Halloween party in the Midwest and one of the prime destinations for the holiday in the country. It will certainly be an exciting and entertaining slew of events. Expect Freakfest to pack a little extra punch if the Badgers have accumulated three victories by the time the masses take to State Street.
