wisconsin has got to be the most provincial, jingoistic sports state in the north. if you live in wisconsin, nay, if you are simply passing through wisconsin, and you aren't strictly a badger/packer/brewer/buck fan, you get looks like you're from the moon. no one in the state can believe that anyone could have a sports interest outside of those 4 teams. "you're a bears fan?" "yep" "but you're in wis-can-sin!" "you don't say? and actually, it's pronounced wes-consin"
