I went to my first-ever football game today, at Camp Randall Stadium. (I really do mean my first game, ever, including high school). It was an amazing and fun experience to share with 80,000 other red-and-white-clad Badger fans; I clapped and sang and did the wave and had a blast being patriotic with my school. We had absolutely stunning seats (thanks to my cousins for the ticket, and for taking me to the game!!); we sat right at the 50-yard line.
We played Marshall (of the movie, We Are Marshall), and they gave us a good scare in the first quarter, ahead 14-0. After the first quarter, the Badgers got their act together. We won 51-14, and while most of the game went over my head, despite my cousin's efforts to explain everything, I was thrilled! I tried to keep the confused look off my face when a play ended with screaming Badger fans all around me and I had no idea what had happened. I eventually caught on to a few things (and that big board up there blinks "Touchdown!" at the appropriate moment, which I appreciated). I loved the marching band, the songs, and I finally know what "Jump Around" means!
