A football Saturday in Madison is quite exhilarating. From early on, you can feel the tension – the party feel – in the air. It just feels different. It feels like a party everywhere. You go about your tasks and you cannot help but see the people everywhere – all in red.
When the game time is near you can see the flocks of people – streams of people – all in red – going to the game. They flock down University Ave, they pour out of the dorms and flock down Dayton Ave, and people flock down Randall Ave. When I see people pouring out of the dorms like this, I wonder if there is anyone left in the dorms. Football Saturday is so universal. You can just feel the charge in the air!
