Wisconsin Badger Gamedays Are, Without A Doubt, The Best Place To Be Every Saturday

In Wisconsin, there are few things agreed upon more than going out every Saturday and cheering on Wisconsin Badger football. The amount of pride and glory that goes into just one Badger gameday is unreal. It doesn't matter whether they are playing a top 10 team or an unranked team that they are predicted to beat by 30. The fans show up and pack legendary Camp Randall every Saturday. Lots of people will dress up and show off just how much of a die-hard Wisconsin Badger fan they are at heart. The number of alumni that show up and continue their support is unreal. The tradition is unmatched.

There are many tailgates that are thrown every Saturday that always differ in how good or how bad they are. However, very few times there are bad tailgates that go on. People will just go to a tailgate and catch that nice buzz before the game starts. Many times people will even not make it into the game until after it starts because some tailgates are just too fun.

Once you're in the game, that is when the real magic shows up. When you're in Camp Randall and surrounded by fellow Badger fans that are just electric with energy and passion. And then the band is just going crazy and playing all of the best the pump up songs and cheers. With every first down, the announcer says "First and 10 Wisconsin!" Then the Badger's score and the crowd goes crazy with excitement and people are jumping and screaming and Bucky Badger is doing push-ups while everyone counts. And then the chant going that "We want more beer!" starts up and all the drunk/buzzed students are screaming.

The tradition of the wave and the student section race on the jumbotron gets everyone riled up. Students every now and then the crowd will start up the chant of "Fuck you," "Eat shit." There is always the student section song that every student knows by heart and sings it out, "Build Me Up Buttercup" by The Foundations. Then comes the legendary Jump Around time where everyone in the stadium is quiet and then House of Pain's hit song "Jump Around" blares through the speaker and that's when literally the entire stadium moves because everyone is out of their seat jumping around.

Badger game days is the definition of classic college football tradition that will never die because the fans are always going to be dedicated to their Wisconsin Badger football team every fall.

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
