Can Buckeyes avoid being swamped by the red sea of Badgers crazed Camp Randall?
Check out a typical day in the Camp Randall stands COLUMBUS — None of the Ohio State players have played at Wisconsin before and the way they tell it, Camp Randall Stadium is some sort of asylum. “I heard the atmosphere is crazy. I think the fans are crazy,” defensive end Lawrence Wilson said. “We heard it’s real crazy,” cornerback Chimdi Chekwa said. “I talked to [former Buckeye] Brandon Mitchell when he was here, and he told me the crowd throws batteries and nickels in marshmallows,” safety Anderson Russell said. “So I’m expecting a wild and crazy atmosphere.” The No. 14 Buckeyes will experience it first-hand on Saturday night against the No. 18 Badgers, with the mythology heightened by a scheduling quirk that hasn’t sent the Buckeyes to Madison since 2003. That year, Ohio State was ranked No. 3 and lost, 17-10, to the No. 23 Badgers. Starting in 2004 in OSU’s absence, Wisconsin has gone 27-1 at home, and its 16-game home win streak is the second-longest in the country.
