The feel-good state

Last night, Kirk shared with me this oh-so-clever commentary on the great state of Wisconsin, as proclaimed by ESPN columnist Brian Murphy in a piece about recent NCAA tournament action:

"Hard not to root for Wisconsin, one of this nation's great feel-good states. Between Packers fans, the friendly bars of Madison and the endless cheese, the Badger State has it all. This much was proved when CBS revealed that the Badgers' big man, Mike Wilkinson, is engaged to the tuba player in the Badger pep band. Is that too "It's a Wonderful Life" or what? Wisconsin: America's Favorite Small Town ..."

Need I say more? Go Bucky! (Even though the Badgers are out of the tournament, I still want to show my support)
