For the past five years, Tom Tierney has volunteered as “visiting team football liaison” for teams coming into Camp Randall to play the Badgers, which means Tierney is responsible for making sure the visitors’ equipment gets unloaded properly; that the team gets an early walk-through to see the field and other facilities; that their post-game meal is set up in the right place; and, yes, that the assistant coaches make it safely down from the press box to the locker room at halftime.
