Red, Black?, Wave

One of my most memorable college football experiences was being one of about 110,000 in Michigan Stadium for a Michigan-Penn St. game. Where you might find about a dozen knowledgeable football fans at a typical Cal game you find about 110,000 at a typical Michigan game. It's amazing how the football IQ rises as you move east. So does the interest. Today, Nebraska visits Wisconsin for their first conference game as a member of the Big-10. There will be more fans than seats. Madison is expecting about 30,000 Corhusker fans to envelope Camp Randall Stadium. I recall Cal games that were witnessed by 30,000 total. Wisconsin spokesman Brian Lucas said the school had 404 season tickets for sale and that 67 of them were bought by people with Nebraska addresses. Each buyer was limited to four tickets. It appears that some Cornhusker fans bought Badger season tickets to insure seeing this one game. Amazing. It really is a big game. Wisconsin is #7. Nebraska is #8. To the respective fans of these two teams every game is a big game. Seeing as both teams wear red, Cornhusker fans will wear black.
