Hundreds of University of Wisconsin football fans demonstrated the art of ‘jumping around’ to ESPN’s GameDay viewers last Saturday.

UW junior Kelly Schweiger said the fans overwhelmed the GameDay anchors, who called the nearly-banned House of Pain song a “time-honored tradition.”

“They gave us the thumps-up, but you could tell they were like, ‘Oh my God, these kids are crazy,'” Schweiger said.

UW senior Matt Bruch, who watched GameDay on television, said he could clearly hear the students chanting “Fuck Ohio State” whenever the anchors referenced the team recently crushed by UW.

The students lavishly booed other rivals including Purdue, conducting the traditional chants against the smattering of Purdue fans that attended the GameDay show.

UW senior Mike Keir said he and his friends bullied their way in front of about 15 Purdue fans carrying a banner to block the opposing fans out of the camera’s view.

“You’ve gotta represent your team and do some trash talking,” Keir said.

Some students said they could barely hear the anchors, however, because the fans would erupt whenever the broadcasters referenced Wisconsin.

What the fans may have missed was an interview with quarterback Jim Sorgi about his choking incident, a feature on Lee Evans regarding his innocence of drug charges and jokes over exaggerated Wisconsin accents. At one point in the broadcast, anchor Lee Corso placed the Bucky mascot’s head over his own head, leading another anchor to stuff a brat into Bucky’s face and spilling food all over the anchor and the desk.

Schweiger said she jumped at the chance to see GameDay live.

“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Schweiger said, saying last week’s game drew ESPN to Wisconsin. “After our awesome win against Ohio State and they showed us afterwards charging the field, we must have stuck in their minds.”

Throughout last Saturday’s game, police ejected 44 people from Camp Randall, although only 15 were UW students. The ejections included three people who were cited for ‘body passing,’ two cited for sitting in the wrong section and one cited for spitting over the side of the stadium. The majority of ejections were issued for the possession of alcohol, numbering 33.

Police also issued 19 citations to UW students Saturday, most for underage alcohol consumption.
