Baggot: My view of a night like no other
Without fans, the Badgers’ impressive opener was strange to see – and hear
By Andy Baggot
There's a tiny windowless room on the second level of Kellner Hall where centuries of Wisconsin Athletic Department records are stored. Newspaper clippings, pictures, media guides, programs and game summaries going back to the 1890s are stowed in steel file cabinets, on wooden book shelves and inside cardboard storage boxes.
I was in there doing some research Friday afternoon when, by total accident, I stumbled across a file for a well-known student-athlete from the 1960s. I was taken aback because I never knew Leo Burt was once a member of the UW men's crew team or that he aspired to row for the U.S. at the 1968 Summer Olympic Games in Mexico City.
Who knew that finding traces of a notorious fugitive like Burt would be the second-strangest development of my day.
