The noise from 80,000 throats cascades down the canyon, collects in the valley, registers on the Richter scale. Every Wisconsin Badger game at Camp Randall Stadium begins this way, with a triumphant crescendo of cheers that go hushed once the kicker connects and the ball flies downfield and the game is under way. From then on, a sideline pageant begins of movement and stress and split-second decisions, all focused on the ball.
