Looks like I'll not be making the "Badger Bowl" this year -- committments elsewhere at that time.  For those of you who may be attending for the first time, hotel/motel availability is at somewhat a premium that time of year.  'copia is normally during the same time window as state-wide high school playoffs.  I found this out the hard way last year (my first at 'copia).  I wound up staying at a very nice place, but it was a "hike" to the 'copia site.  So ... book early!  (I might add the motel was "teaming" with high school kids...and parent...one night and I felt I nearly had the place to myself the next night.)
