Alec Aspenson it's actually a strategic thing too. When the music stops the play lock starts, the badgers know they're going to keep singing and are used to it. Also it's just fun
I remember being in the Student Section at this game! Nothing beats being in the middle of this. Still gives me chills. It rained or misted the whole game, heck it could've been a downpour and we couldn't have cared. That's just how much into the game the crowd was. One of, if not the most, enjoyable sports event I have ever been to! Bucky did a lot of push ups that game... On Wisconsin!
I came home on leave from the middle east for this game, my sister was going to school at madison and gave me her tickets so I was in this section. Fuckin incredible.
Proud Michigan alum here, bleed maize and blue, but this is one of the coolest traditions in college football. This is why the college game is the greatest in all of sports.
Damn this is freakin great. This is almost as good as Wisconsin turning Kentucky’s perfect season into 31-done. But not quite. Mad respect to that student section
Yea, there's hundreds of thousands of us who support LSU and actually attended the school. The rest? An excuse for an early Mardi Gras and they do embarrass the school and the entire fan base.
Best band and most involved student section in the conference, if not the nation. Really a great band: seeing them with Ohio SU band at 2017 and 2017 in Indy showed how much better the UW Band really is.
This is my favorite era of music and has been since I was little, I was born in 94 and used to get made fun of from family members my age and people in school that I love listening to this and blasting it in my room. But I noticed in the last three years, in particular, that Gen Z started to really get into this sort of music. It's making a comeback and that's amazing! Could you imagine if they did more songs in the same style as a lot of the 1950s and 1960s songs? I did write one when I was a freshman in high school, a lot of people loved it he wanted me to make an actual studio version but I never did and I did it using similar scales and progressions of the oldies.
Let's be honest, while Jump Around is awesome to watch (and it is REALLY awesome to watch that bouncing sea of humanity), THIS is in my opinion the best crowd tradition during Badger games, if only because Fifth Quarter is post-game. It's easy for a bunch of students, many of whom are drunk, to jump up and down without falling as long as there are other bodies nearby to keep them upright. It's harder for a bunch of students, many of whom are drunk, to all sing in tune, especially after they turn the music off. What's even more special is that this, and Jump Around, both came about completely organically. No one planned for this song (Buttercup) to get huge, and no one planned for some simple little stadium renovations (Jump Around, 2003) to lead to a near-revolt by the students.
Seeing stuff like this makes me so glad to have gone to Wisconsin. I doubt many other student sections have more fun than we do. It helps when we run a top-5 team out there as well!
WOW!! Imagine being the person who made this tune so long ago? How thrilled he /she would be? And people just rock it out like this?! THat's just coooooooooool !
@@jonnybaze7449 hahah have been here Milwaukee Madison Oshkosh etc?? wanna party the spots there are said. What do you have besidesa win over Wisconsin? Stfu
You gotta admit, those Badgers sure do know how to party! And this is coming from a Michigan fan who saw them lose to Michigan, and then put on one of the most FUN post game party shows I've ever seen. They call it the Fifth Quarter. NOBODY OUT FUNS THESE CHEESEHEADS! And great luck on June 5th, ON WISCONSIN!
Glad you enjoyed 5th Quarter so much when you were here because I'll tell ya, we probably wouldn't have given you much of a post-game party after the Muffed-Punt game in 2001. I was there, in Section O, and we were CRUSHED. I've seen students more willing to dance in a freaking rainstorm.
As someone who's family is from Green Bay and grew up in Nebraska. I've been to LSU, Florida, Tennessee, Michigan, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma and USC just to name a few and I say that Camp Randall is the most electric atmosphere in all of collegiate sports! The BEST Fans go to school in Madison!
Note to myself: add to bucket list, Football Game in Wisconsin. Planning a trip to the USA in 2024 for my 60th bday and I have a feeling that it might become a great night if I could celebrate it in Wisconsin.
@Christopher Davis thanks mate. If I will make it I will let you know for sure! Watch out for a reply some time in November 2024.... 😉😎 Even with still a long way to go until 24, how would I be able to order tickets from Germany, any recommendations?
@@cole8209 well, in fact I am coming to the USA but I will "only" go to NYC, then on a cruise ship up north to Canada for the Indian Summer. Starting September 29. But it´s still on my list!!
Coming from a Michigan fan this was awesome haha Thanks for giving Nebraska a Big Ten hazing. Hopefully MI does the same to them in a few weeks and they can see the best mobile QB in NCAA. I'm glad Nebraska is in the B10 now. They always seemed like a good fit and lots of good instant rivalries now exist.
@shazuey My wife went to UW-Mad this summer, and she says that she met some of the most polite people both on and off campus. And she's CANADIAN. Lady knows polite, ferreal. She also had a damn good time.
Typically I hate it when they play canned music over the PA at sporting events. More often than not, it just punctuates a dead crowd or, worse yet, shuts up a crowd that's trying to cheer on their own. This, however, is the exception that proves the rule, so to speak. Think of the goosebumps you get hearing an entire crowd of 12,000+ students singing in unison. Then the music stops, and they keep going. When you get THAT as a reaction, suddenly canned music isn't so bad.
