Wisconsin basketball fans react angrily over a controversial sign at Oregon
There are few things that get Wisconsin Badger fans as riled up as the topic of a courtside sign that made its way onto the broadcast during the NIT matchup at Oregon.
Oregon fans went after a Wisconsin staple: the cheese curd.
If you haven’t spent time in the Badger State you’re probably wondering why everyone cares so much. If there was a food that represented the state, the cheese curd would be it. It’s a Wisconsin staple that you can find at all of the legendary Madison establishments.
Here is the sign and some hilarious reactions from Badger fans:

Madison's finest:
Getting in on the cheese curd discourse:
Look, you can't get them from anywhere and expect greatness. They are fantastic at the Old Fashioned downtown or Craftsman in Middleton.
Also, my homemade cheese curds absolutely rock and will make them for anyone willing to come over.
