There's a strong bond between the Packers and the University of Wisconsin. Namely, the same state. Also, sports. So even though Aaron Rodgers is a California guy, he's still going to root for the Badgers.

He did just that on Thursday night, attending Wisconsin's Sweet 16 victory over North Carolina with ladyfriend and star of The Newsroom Olivia Munn.

Also interestingly, they were sitting next to ESPN golf commentator Andy North.

They were pretty pumped when the Badgers hit a buzzer beater to close within two at the half.

And they were REAL amped when the Badgers wrapped up the victory and advanced to the Elite 8.
