Homecoming.
The memories of old come swirling back like cool breeze on a hot summer's day. For one day it doesn't matter how the Badgers perform on the field; the celebration is people coming together, seeing one another for the first time in a year.
The cardinal and white crowds lining State Street for the Homecoming Parade and the fireworks display afterward; grabbing a brat and guzzling a can of beer before the 11 a.m. game; "Jumping Around" after the third quarter and staying for the Fifth Quarter -- all of these things are what make Homecoming, and being a Badger, unique.
Before you go back to the grind and work, climb Bascom Hill once more and soak in the fall sun glowing over Lake Mendota at the Terrace.
This weekend is about you, Badgers.
Live it up.
