Little Brother


Sayeth my brother: "At the home-coming game, graduating law students throw canes over the crossbar of the goal post in a pre-game ceremony. If students catch their cane, legend claims they will win their first case. If the cane is dropped, the case will be lost. The custom originated at Harvard and came to the UW-Madison in 1910. The attached picture is what I looked like shortly after catching my cane this past Saturday. For more history of the tradition, go to: http://www.law.wisc.edu/lore/cane.htm"


How can I not be proud of my brother?! And who doubted that he would win his first case? P.S. - This makes me miss Wisconsin.
