Some of Wisconsin’s most recognizable athletes congregated at the UW Field House last night for the 6th Annual Wisconsin Sports Awards show. (Am I the only one who didn’t know this event existed?)
Plenty of awards were handed out over the course of the two-hour show, including Team of the Year, Athlete of the Year and Coach of the Year. But more importantly, there were plenty of hilarious moments.
Below is a timeline of the happenings of the evening.
6:30 p.m.: Apparently Milwaukee Bucks forward Jabari Parker wasn’t kidding when he said he really loved Milwaukee.
6:32 p.m.: Wisconsin basketball player Ethan Happ was excited to break out his new “special pants” for the big occasion.Who am I wearing? I’m wearing Milwaukee. @JabariParker #WSA#OwnTheFuture pic.twitter.com/s1UmISIvHE

8:42 p.m.: Bakhtiari held onto the spotlight by stealing Aaron Rodgers’ thunder as the quarterback accepted an award. Kanye West could have probably even learned a thing or two…A better video of @ZShowbball333 shooting at a @DBak69 hoop is coming soon from @AaronRodgers12… #WSA pic.twitter.com/vnac9mDpoU

8:57 p.m.: But Bakhtiari wasn’t done there. (Were they serving alcohol at this thing?) Toward the end of the show, he asked out Wisconsin volleyball player Lauren Carlini… to Red Lobster.Wow, move over @KanyeOfficiaI! @DBak69 just hijacked @AaronRodgers12 victory speech! #WSA pic.twitter.com/C2o0FZnZ95
