I have heard of Wisconsin’s “party school” image and the reputation of Camp Randall being a difficult place to play. As my wife and I walked to the stadium, we saw the many tailgate parties of people having a good time. The closer we got to the stadium, the more the comments took on a nasty and personal tone.
….Once inside Camp Randall, clad in Michigan gear, we naturally attracted attention. As we sat, we talked with those who were seated around us. Those who sat in seats immediately to our left, right and behind were very nice to us throughout the game.
As the game went on we were disheartened by the profanity from the student section and by the vulgar cheers aimed at Michigan fans. The statements directed at us (even to my wife) were profane, offensive, disgusting and almost unbelievable.
