Wisconsin students have grown restless. The anticipation of the weekend’s game makes it impossible to focus. The Nebraska Cornhuskers’ recent addition to the Big Ten made their old conference thrilled and our conference hungry. Yes, hungry for the best win of the century.
 
The highly talked about game will be televised nationally making ticket prices skyrocket. Students are left with the decision to either sell for some big bucks, or attend the experience of a lifetime. As a poor college student, I went with the sell, though many students are gearing up for the game. Students organized via Facebook game day events and dress.
 
The most popular is the James White Wilson Ball Out which requires students to print off a picture of the Wilson ball from Castawayand hold up the paper each time “our offense takes it to the Cornhuskers to show some love for James WHITE, Russell WILSON, and Montee BALL” as stated on the Facebook event. Rumors spread that the game is a white out, meaning wearing all white as well, since it has been heard that Nebraska fans are doing a black out.
 
ESPN camera crews will be setting up a stage on Bascom Hill and begin filming at 8 a.m. on game day. All fans are encouraged to attend before the game and bring signs. During the game, the profane cheer “Eat s***, f*** you” has been rumored to change to “Eat s***, shuckyou!”
 
It is obvious the game has caused pandemonium among Wisconsin students and super fans. I just hope I don’t regret watching the game at Buffalo Wild Wings instead of Camp Randall. On Wisconsin! And good luck Badgers!
