Mad City

I'll be heading to Camp Randall Stadium to see Purdue take on the Feral Rodents.  Purdue, as we all know, is having a very dismal season but UW isn't exactly lighting the league on fire.  Purdue's defense looked great for three quarters against Nebraska...then reality set in (along with a multitude of penalties).   Wisconsin managed to blow a huge halftime lead against USC in the Colosseum.   If Purdue can hold UW's run game to under 250 yards and if the offense shows any signs of life, Bucky will prevail 24-10.  If not, 48-7.  Good thing I have a hotel because beer is now served at the stadium.

I went to Camp Randall 1 time, Ben Jones Game Winning FG with Orton at the helm 

 

I said when I walked out, if I knew this place was here as a 17/18 year old then I am a Badger !!  Assuming the would have took my SR year transcripts of no Math/Science, and a 890 on my SAT in 1998.   🙂

I had no idea I was so prophetic.  Boilers outclassed in every phase…

 

…at least I had some good beer!

Fabulous stadium…and they do have turf!!!

I think anyone who had paid attention knew what was coming for the Boilermakers

Sad to see them quit

Two muffed punts in a row.  Purdue got the first one back, but not the second one which of course was run in for a touchdown on Wisconsin’s first play from scrimmage.  It basically set the tone for the day in addition to consuming many Capitol City Ambers.  Lucky’s 1313 Brew Pub also had many good craft beers.

I've always wanted to visit Madison. Hear the Brew Pub scene there on State Street is great. Was the student section THAT empty the entire game?

No, the student section always files in late.  By the start of "Jump Around" after the third quarter, it was packed.  Madison is highly recommended!   Many great bars and restaurants.

Was there once in my youth. Was very impressed by the perpetual cloud that hung over the student section.

No wonder they show up late.
