Fans here were about as nice as you could hope for. But one UW fan put it in perspective; we wouldn't be this nice if you were a Big10 team. The jump around was cool but the coolest thing they did was a wave in slow motion and then after one trip around did the next one at hyper speed. As he was leaving one of their fans said, "well you are a lot better than Bowling Green." Has it come to that for us? The team looked like a real football team for most of the day. Lots of things could have been better but they looked better overall. Even though we were missing a couple of hundred fans because of travel issues, those that were there repped well. One of the team buses was involved in a slight accident. No players on that bus but the AD, Rocky and some fans were. No injuries. Just a real bad travel trip.

If they were honest, they would have said yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if they did it after our TD. Only other place I've seen that was in Cincinnati for pregame a few years ago. I don't get the ESFO chant by the students at the end of the half, not quite as classy a touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also of note, their RB needed a career high # of carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ushers apologized to us for the ESFU chant. It didn't bother us. We thought it was funny. The student section was still filling up at halftime and it never completely filled. There were about 10 rows below us and another large section that remained open. The staff forces them to sit together. They don't appear to have specific seats, can't spread out across their section, and they can't go from section to section, even in the student section. I thought the TSA folks were tough about ticketing. They've got nothing on cops and ushers in Camp Randall. One girl tried to come into the shaded section behind us, complaining that she was feeling bad because of the heat. A cop told her that if the heat was getting to her she should go home, but she wasn't going up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
