We have a first down cheer but usually the PA announcer talks over it.  Oh and we have a very cringey announcer when the band is on the field in pre-game.  We try to not die inside during that part.  Our traditions took a hit during the "Holtz New Era" and reached peak irony during the Willie Taggart driving a bus and #dosomething era.

You'll have fun down in Tampa!  Definitely hit Clearwater beach, get some legit Cuban food, and drinks!  I am a fan of the Riverwalk area, and someone else mentioned downtown St. Petersburg.  Definitely enjoy yourself to the max and get some sun.  And yeah there usually isn't a cool day in Tampa unless it is winter time...

I'm excited, this is my first big away football trip and it's to such a really nice, and diverse city with good culture.  PS, today the high is 76 in Waunakee and the high doesn't get above 84 in the next 5 days.

Curious, how many days does the team arrive ahead of the game?  It ******* hot as balls here and the humidity hovers around 70 percent. Feels like walking into steam. Drink some water mixed in with beers.

Counting wind chill we had a few days where the temperature didn't get positive all day and a few nights that hit -40 with wind chill(-20 to -25 without it) this winter in Madison.  Where my parents live up in Ashwaubenon(near Green Bay), they had a whole week where the high didn't get above 5 degrees and they had 10 days of practically no sun.  *This tells you why we're such drinkers up here*  Nothin to do in that kind of weather up here except drink, smoke, and f*ck

Ya'll have wind chill, we have heat index. If you add about 20° of humidity to your week you'll have an idea of what to expect. The Gulf of Mexico water is hotter than your high temps  With the onshore wind it's a lot like a convection oven.

Why do you do it quietly?
