Madison Roll Call
November 16th, 2017 at 9:43 AM ^
I’m either going to tailgate or watch some of college game day in person. Maybe both. Does anybody know if you can drink at the college game day location?
November 16th, 2017 at 10:29 AM ^
Nice! I am working on the same goal since about 7 years ago in college. I'm not counting the recent expansion teams though. This will be #11 / 11 old Big Ten for me.
November 16th, 2017 at 12:15 PM ^
I’m going to add Notre Dame to the list next year too. Not a big ten school, but definitely a stadium I want to see.
November 16th, 2017 at 12:59 PM ^
ND is a good one. Actually my first two away games were there as a young buck pre-college. I think Michigan is like 1-3 when I've been there. And of course 0-3 at OSU...last year had the chance to break it...

Just doing the football game and bar crawl to the stadium instead of tailgating. We'll be sitting in section LL. Go Blue!

I did grad school at UW-Madison for 4 years and stayed to work for 3 more years, and I finally had to move away this last summer. In that time, I started my career, met and married my wife, and had our first baby. I really gained my entire identity in those 7 years in Madison, and I became very attached to the university and the city, but I never got to see the maize and blue in Camp Randall! Sadly, I can't make it back to Madison this weekend to welcome all of you to the city that still feels like home to me. It feels very weird and sad, like I'm missing the party that I always wanted to host. Even though I don't know you, I will miss you all. Please have lots of fun, eat lots of brats, and drink all the beer.

I wonder where I'll wake up on Sunday...

Terrace was just officially closed this week, but you can still get a beer at the Rathskellar. But you've got a solid agenda (aside from hopefully the win part).

We'll be up from Chicago with a group of about 26...about a third Badgers and the rest Go Blue. Group is spread across the Q and Y3.
Gonna try and get into the Old Fashioned for burgers Friday night, then maybe Paul's Club, Plaza, Red Shed, and Monday's. Saturday a house party over by the stadium and Regent St bars.

26 people?!?! how do you all know each other?
November 16th, 2017 at 9:53 AM ^
Flying in from the West Coast tomorrow to meet up with family driving in from Michigan and Milwaukee! Section Y3, around row 25.
Go Blue, Beat Wisconsin!
November 16th, 2017 at 10:29 AM ^
Seeing Michigan play at Big Ten stadium #11 and the final one of the old Big Ten!
Hockey game at Kohl Centre Friday night too. Go Blue!
November 16th, 2017 at 10:28 AM ^
Yes, I'll be in Madison Saturday, sitting somewhere in the upper deck with poncho at the ready and layers of clothing wrapped around my old body.
But please note that if luck travels, I probably won't be bringing any with me. I was there in 2007 when Chad Henne hardly played and Mike Hart didn't play at all. Ryan Mallett tossed a couple picks and M lost 21-37 ("Super Mario" Manningham had a good 97-yd TD catch-and-run though). I was also there in 2009 when a Rich-Rodriguez-coached and Tate Forcier-led M team got rather pummeled 24-45. And yeah, I was at the Kohl Center back in 2013 when Badger Ben Brust launched the mid-court bomb that sent the BB game into OT and to an eventual M loss.
But Saturday, different team, and importantly, different coaches to neutralize any bad karma that might accompany me. Go Blue!
November 16th, 2017 at 10:44 AM ^
I'll be there and will bring some luck to negate Der Alte's bad vibes.
November 16th, 2017 at 10:49 AM ^
Oh yeah - will be there; section R row 7 - on the down low. I'm hesitately getting more confident as the week rolls on. Go Blue!!!!!!
November 16th, 2017 at 10:52 AM ^
sitting in the South endzone. Can't wait!
November 16th, 2017 at 11:08 AM ^
November 16th, 2017 at 11:20 AM ^
I will be there sportin my Starter jacket from the 90s!! So, if you see a 6-5 300lb man walking around in the most fantastic Starter jacket, say BIG WEB !!
upper deck, first row, 5 yd line, home team side

Didn't see this posted in any of the other replies so hopefully not duplicating any info but the Madison alumni club is organizing meetups at Whiskey Jacks on State St for Friday night and at Sconnie Bar on Regent for pre-game Saturday morning. Hoping for a strong Wolverine turnout this weekend. Go Blue!

Can't wait - this is my first time at Camp!

The one off the beltline? That's where we were going to be staying until the GF demanded a more expensive place a little closer to campus. I was pissed.
