ESPN Mag recently compared Millwaukee vs. Chicago. So, I'm going to copy with Wisconsin vs. Illinois. Here it is:

NFL: The packers were 4-12, while the Bears won the conference. Winner: ILL

NBA:The Bucks are all out wanna-be's, while the Bulls have won it all six times. Winner: ILL

MLB: The Brewers are good this year, but no doubt a very small market team with no experience. The Cubs draw 3 million fans to Wrigley each year. Winner: ILL

NCAA BB: The Badgers are either on or off. The Illini always contend. Winner: ILL

NCAA FB: The Badgers are a good team, while the Illini are rebuilding. The Illini are going to be good this season, but for now........Winner: WIS

Summary: Wisconsin got 1. Over-all, Illinois just has better sports than Wisconsin. Here's to the best fan's in the country, too.
