T-shirt #217: WISCONSIN HOCKEY

My friend Tim who recently visited brought me this shirt…thanks, Tim!

Four years ago I may have had serious issues with wearing this shirt. The Wisconsin hockey team (http://www.uwbadgers.com/sports/m-hockey/wis-m-hockey-body-main.html, http://www.uscho.com/m/wisconsin-badgers/mens-college-hockey/team,uw.html ) beat my beloved BC Eagles for the national championship 2-1, a game that ended with BC hitting the post with 1.8 seconds left in the 3rd period. This year, the BC hockey team (http://bceagles.cstv.com/sports/m-hockey/bc-m-hockey-body.html, http://www.uscho.com/m/boston-college-eagles/mens-college-hockey/team,bc.html) routed Wisconsin in the championship game, 5-0. Had the heavily favored Badgers came out on top in April, I doubt if Tim would have brought me this shirt.

In more t-shirt news, I was cashing a check at Bank of America today. The teller Denisse asked me why I didn’t have an account with the bank and I told her it was a long story that would be in my book someday. She laughed and asked me if I was serious, and I told her I was a writer and handed her one of my t-shirt blog cards. She asked the manager Joe if they had any shirts, and I walked out with a Bank of America shirt. Then, when I got back from the bank, there was an email from Snorg Tees (www.snorgtees.com) saying they were going to donate 2 shirts to the blog! You’ll have to wait to see which ones I picked…
