""Madison, Wisconsin is as good as it gets if you are like me and you love the college sports. The teams are relevant. The venues are unbelievable. The setting is gourgeous,"" he said. ""I had to declare it the greatest sports town - the greatest college sports town in our country, after having been there for 48 hours.""
