Burish Supports Local Wisconsin Farmers

I saw Badger (Adam Burish, for those that aren't familiar with the nickname) at the Madison farmer’s market this past Saturday, but completely didn’t have the stones to stop him to say hi…he looked like he was on a mission, walking fast, alone, looking slightly flustered, although no one else recognized him but me.  I didn’t want to be that jackass who interrupted his intense search for fresh farmer’s consumables by saying “Adam Burish! Hey, big fan, go Hawks!”  If he had been casually browsing, I might have had more time to think of something clever to say, instead of the aforementioned numskull-cliche-fan statement.

So, all I could say (whisper actually) was, to my wife, while Bur was standing a couple feet in front of us (before he began a quick march down the street) “That’s Adam Burish!” To which she said, “Do you have anything he could sign?”  I told her "No" while thinking of something interesting to say, and by the time I decided the numskull sentence was probably okay, he was long gone down the street.  Oh well.  Good to know Bur supports the farmers!
