Why we Love College Football

So about 2 hours from the Badgers kicking off the 2011 season and here we are. I am sure that as I write this most of you are out in Madison doing what you all do best. Some of us aren't in Madison tonight, some of us aren't even in the state. Nevertheless, we all get to watch the Badgers string UNLV from the goalposts tonight under the ever-reassuring lights of Camp Randall. It is a great day, no matter where you are and no matter what you are doing. There is something about a gameday in Madison that I am ill-equipped as a writer to describe. Listen to SVP for a more eloquent description.

There is something sweet about waking up at the frat and rolling down to taggert's to grab a Breakfast Sandwhich in the same transaction you get a 30-rack. Cracking that first beer, tasting piss. Cracking that third beer, tasting like the nectar of the Gods. Cracking the rest of the beers in a fog of bags and beerbongs. Eating...maybe. The blazing hot mornings soon turn into windy fall afternoons. "College Football is Back" A sea of red welcomes teams as they enter the House of Pain. Linemen cruising through defenses. RUSSELL WILSON. Running the ball. Running. Run. Run. PASS. Run. TD.

The simple truth is that nothing beats gamedays. Of the 1,400 plus days I lived in Madison, 30 of the best were on Saturdays in the fall. These Nebraska fans are excited about Madison. Nowhere else. They want to go to Madison. There is no place like Madison on a Gameday when you are a student. No place. Enjoy the atmosphere boys, I will be watching from behind enemy lines. See you in a month.

Fuck em Bucky.
