SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- Andrew Johnston already has had a busy few days in the New York area. You know, pastrami at Katzs Deli, sampling burgers throughout Manhattan, and getting a taste of the fare from his newest sponsor, Arbys.He even worked behind the counter at the fast-food restaurant.Where else would a guy nicknamed Beef begin his first trip to the PGA Championship?The bearded Brit with the never-fading smile and jovial outlook is relishing his newfound popularity. He admittedly spent more time than he should have signing autographs and chatting up fans at Baltusrol -- several of whom were wearing ginger beards in his honor. And hes been all over social media.Quite a change for a guy who barely was on golfs radar before winning the Spanish Open this year and finishing eighth at the British.Except it hasnt changed the 27-year-old Londoner.As a personality and stuff, just be yourself, man, Johnson said Wednesday after an early practice round. Because like the more Ive been myself, the more comfortable Ive felt out on the golf course. The more Ive just had fun and be me, the better Ive played.So youve just got to be comfortable in who you are, what you do. Dont be ashamed to be different or anything, you know, thats you. And no matter who you are, where you are, where youre from, people should embrace that.The fans certainly are embracing Johnston, as much for his outgoing persona as for his shotmaking and putting. Where some athletes might back away from interaction with the public as they seek their place in their sport, Johnston is all in.Maybe too much so, but what the heck.I love the support and I love trying to give back my time, Johnston said. I actually had a big learning curve yesterday where I played a few holes, and I was signing so much, I probably shouldnt have done as much on the course and then waited till after. But it was like the first real time where Ive had that much attention. And I come off the course and I was like, that was crazy. That was mad.Its just a thing of trying to get the right timing to spend time with all the fans, because I love it. I absolutely love it. And it means so much to me.So does golf, and Johnston recognizes for all the fun he is having -- and all the entertainment he is providing -- that if his game goes south, so might the recognition and adulation. Oregon Ducks Jerseys. After all, hes been on the European Tour for portions of six seasons and only this year has he made a breakthrough, reaching No. 88 in the world ranking and earning six top-15 finishes. Johnston has played in only two tournaments on American soil, this years U.S. Open, where he tied for 54th, and the World Golf Championship at Firestone (tied for 42nd).So his outsized image right now is more responsible for his burgeoning popularity than is his game.It might come across like that to some people, but as Ive said before, its all about the golf, he said. First things first is the golf. Thats what I grew up doing. Thats what I grew up watching and where I wanted to be.So now Im here, its like I want to keep pushing forward, and the first thing, the most important thing is the golf before anything else. I want to come away and look back in so many years and think, `Yeah, thats been a great time on the golf course. And not going, `Oh, yeah, well, it was good for that period of time, but we had a good laugh.No, its all about the golf. Thats the first thing that is most important, yeah.Defending champion Jason Day has met Johnston only once, describing him as looking like a top bloke.Looks like a guy you want to go down to the pub and have a beer with, even if you dont drink, Day said.Its good to see stories like that and Im hoping that he keeps the good play up, because I think we need more personalities in this game.You arent likely to find Johnston brooding his way through a round, even if the bogies are more prevalent than the birdies. He knows that being himself is just as much a key to beating par as finding fairways and greens.I know a lot of the guys, and they are good people, you know, he said of his fellow touring pros. But obviously everyones different and some guys are more quiet than others. I dont know, I just seem to enjoy having a good time and having a laugh. So I guess it comes across as a bit different, yeah. Thats just me.

No one in tennis loves an emoji quite like Roger Federer does. China NFL Jerseys . Some of his tweets contain no words - theyre picture stories made up entirely of those little characters. And yet, for all Federers enthusiasm for social media, he has a line of communication with his fanbase that is a touch more old school.Here at the All England Club, a courier met Federer and handed him The Red Envelope. Inside the envelope, which is sealed with a sticker, are messages of support and encouragement from the seven-time champions most dedicated supporters. This is a tradition among Federers supporters that goes back to 2003, which was the year he won this title for the first time, and so pre-dates Twitter or Facebook.The messages are short and sweet -- were telling Roger were supporting him and were wishing him well for the tournament, one of Federers most devoted fans, Colleen Taylor, told the Wimbledon Diary. One of those envelopes is passed to Federer at every Grand Slam, and at almost every tournament he plays. To attract Federers attention, the courier holds up the envelope while Federer is making his way to the practice courts. Roger is always looking out for the courier and the envelope, Taylor said.New balls please -- for the police dogsIt cant be all work and no play for the police sniffers dogs at the Aorangi Park practice courts.

Now everyone can take notice of Straily, who on television before his latest start saw plenty of highlights touting Yu Darvish being on the mound. Straily allowed only two two singles while facing 22 batters -- just one over the minimum for his seven scoreless innings -- and Yoenis Cespedes homered as the Athletics won their fifth straight game, 1-0 over the AL West-leading Texas Rangers and Darvish. "My confidence was sky high to start the game," Straily said. "The last few times out, I walked people, hit people, hurt myself. I wasnt getting hit hard. I was hurting myself. The whole goal today was go out and fill up the strike zone." Darvish (7-2) struck out five, but walked three and hit a batter while giving up five hits in six innings. With the help of a couple of defensive plays, the only run he allowed came when Cespedes homered to straightaway centre in the third. Cespedes ninth homer went just beyond the reach of Craig Gentrys outstretched glove. Darvish had turned and watched after the slugger took a big swing and connected. "As soon as Cespedes hit that home run, I knew just keep it there, 1-0 our best chance," Straily said. "The best pitching performance weve seen out of him to date, in this ballpark, against a guy thats probably not going to give up too many runs," manager Bob Melvin said. "I think he just gained confidence as the game went along. Early in the game, hes throwing strikes, hes getting outs, theyre not hitting any balls hard really, and you just kind of grow from that." Darvish had won all five of his previous starts this season when pitching after a Texas loss. The ace from Japan had his last seven regular-season starts at Rangers Ballpark, going back to last season, and had entered the game getting a league-high 9.1 runs per nine innings pitched. "Ive been really pampered with all the run support Ive been getting. Youre going to have games like this," Darvish said through his translator. Even with consecutive wins to start the three-game series, Oakland still trails the Rangers by 4 1/2 games iin the AL West. jerseys wholesale. . The Athletics go for a sweep on Wednesday. Grant Balfour pitched a perfect ninth for his ninth save in as many chances this season, and his 27th in a row since April 2012, to close out Oaklands third shutout of the season. Sean Doolittle pitched a scoreless eighth for the As. Texas was held scoreless for the third time this season. It was only the 13th 1-0 game ever at Rangers Ballpark, which opened in 1994. A.J. Pierzynski, the Rangers catcher activated from the disabled list earlier Tuesday, had a one-out single in the third. Jurickson Profar had a single in the sixth, but the rookie was caught stealing when he took off toward second base before Straily threw his pitch. "I think this can be a jumping off point for him," Doolittle said of Straily. "That was pretty impressive." After winning his season debut April 5 with 11 strikeouts at Houston, Straily was optioned to Triple-A the next day when Bartolo Colon was reinstated from the suspended list. Straily returned in late April, and was 0-2 with an 8.84 ERA in four starts since until dominating Texas. "Ive never lacked confidence, but this is definitely the most confident Ive felt out there," Straily said. Darvish, who raised his majors-best strikeout total to 91 in 66 2-3 innings, came out after 101 pitches. He had averaged 121 pitches his last three starts, including a career-high 130 five nights earlier against Detroit in a 10-4 victory. "I was as usual, nothing affected from the last outing," Darvish said. "I really begged Wash. I wanted to keep pitching." Notes: Rangers reliever Neal Cotts got three outs on six pitches in his first major league appearance since May 25, 2009. Texas purchased his contract from Triple-A Round Rock earlier Tuesday. The 33-year-old left-hander had ligament replacement surgery in 2009. ... Oakland DH Jed Lowrie left the game with a bruise after fouling a pitch off his right foot. ... 1B Daric Barton, designated for assignment Saturday when As outfielder Chris Young came off the disabled list, cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento. ... Right-hander Chris Resop also cleared waivers and was outrighted to Sacramento.

For the first time, the NFL began selling Super Bowl tickets on the open market on Wednesday. Wholesale NFL Jerseys .Prices for the tickets, which include a pregame party and early access to Houstons NRG Stadium, the site of Super Bowl LI, or similar parties within the stadium security perimeter,?start at $5,599 and run up to $14,449 for the best seat.The most expensive package includes a pass to be on the field when the game ends.The tickets are being sold on a website run by Ticketmaster and On Location Experiences, the NFLs official hospitality partner, of which the leagues investment arm owns a stake.NFL On Location through the NFL has been allotted 9,500 tickets for Super Bowl LI, which includes the tickets that are given to the participating teams.While the ticket prices come at a huge premium compared to secondary market sites like StubHub, the tickets that went on sale Wednesday are to exact seats. Sites like StubHub only promise zones of the stadium.The cost of the tickets that are being put on sale can rise and fall as the game nears, depending on demand.The idea to create a marketplace like this was born out of the short-selling fiasco from Super Bowl XLIX. Many ticket brokers sold tickets ahead of time on speculation, selling a seat they didnt have with the goal of filling it for the buyer closer to the game as the price dropped. But the price didnt drop and those brokers were forced to either buy last-minute tickets for two to three times what they sold them for to the fan, or tell the fan they couldnt fill their orders. As a result, hundreds of people arrived in Phoenix to find that the tickets that they had bought would not be delivered.The question with the NFLs new business is whether fans will pay the extra premium to be assured of an exact ticket. The cheapest ticket on StubHub is around $3,300, more than $2,000 cheaper than the cheapest NFL On Location ticket. Its only a zone that is guaranteed on StubHub, but StubHub does guarantee, as it did in 2015 when the market crashed, that a ticket bought will be a ticket filled. PrimeSport, which is partly owned by Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, also guarantees seats.What the market does create is something the NFL can be more comfortable with. If certain Super Bowl ticket markets do fall through, the league could point to the fact that it now offers a legitimate alternative that assures fraud will not take place. NFL Jerseys Cheap . Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat. Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping . "Four now," Carl Gunnarsson told the Leaf Report proudly following a 5-2 victory over New York on Tuesday night, the clubs fifth straight at home. http://www.cheapestnfljerseys.us.com/ . Instead of dwelling on the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It worked. DETROIT -- Daniel Norris has seen what meaningful September baseball is like from the dugout and the bullpen. Now, hell get his chance to experience it on the mound.The Detroit Tigers second-year left-hander will start the opener of a four-game home series against Minnesota on Monday night. The Tigers wrapped up a three-game series against another contender, Baltimore, at Comerica Park on Sunday with their second consecutive loss, 3-1.The Tigers rotation also includes second-player Matt Boyd and rookie Michael Fulmer and theyre all pumped up by the playoff atmosphere.Weve been talking about it a lot, especially me and Boyd and Fulmer, Norris said. Its exciting to be here. Its exciting to have something to play for. ... Theres a different sense of urgency. We (as a team) have a swagger about us that we belong here. Its fun to come to the ballpark every day and know we have a chance to play into October and through it.The Tigers have an opportunity to strengthen their position in the race against a last-place team that they have dominated this season. Detroit is 10-2 against Minnesota.Norris (2-2) collected his last victory against the Twins on Aug. 25 when he allowed two runs in 6 1/3 innings, his longest outing of the year.I dont think some of their struggles have to do with their hitting, Norris said. They have a very good lineup and you have to take them very seriously.He wound up with no-decisions in his last two outings, including a six-inning start against Kansas City last Sunday when he gave three runs on four hits. Hes tried to keep himself sharp with the extra days in-between starts by throwing two bullpen sessions.My main focus is just getting as deep as I can in the game, he said. Thats something at times Ive struggled with but I think Im getting better with it, just understanding my game and pitching towards thaat. Jerseys NFL Wholesale. As long as I go out there and keep us in the game, then Im doing my job.The Tigers batters have pummeled Twins pitching this season, averaging 5.9 runs per game while batting .315. Minnesota right-hander Ervin Santana, who will oppose Norris, is one of the few members of the staff that has successfully navigated through Detroits lineup.Santana limited the Tigers to one run in seven innings on July 20 in his only outing against them this season. Hes 9-3 with a 3.17 ERA in 17 career starts against Detroit.After finishing August with a 13-game losing streak, Minnesota is 4-6 in September, all against American League Central Division foes.Yet manager Paul Molitor is expected to return next season, as the teams ownership continues to back him.I think everyone in here realizes this has been a year where we had expectations that have fallen way short, Molitor said to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Sometimes people have to fall when those things happen. Ive been fortunate that Im in a position where theyre going to give me another shot to come back and try to do a little bit better the next time around.The biggest bright spot for the Twins has been second baseman Brian Dozier, who has 39 home runs. Hes hit three against the Tigers, though he only has a .174 average against them. Dozier has not homered in the last four games.Im sure once the offseason hits and I reflect on the offseason, (I can say), OK I had a decent year or whatever you want to call it, Dozier said to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. But doggonit, were on pace to lose over 100 games. Something is still off and it doesnt sit well with me.Twins first baseman Joe Mauer is questionable to play in the series because of a sore quad.

2001 was a watershed year for Indian hockey. Baylor Bears Jerseys . India won the junior World Cup - held in Hobart, Australia - for the first, and only, time. The closest the country has come to the title since then was a fourth-place finish in 2005.Ahead of Indias final against Belgium on Sunday, here are some key members of the 2001 World Cup-winning side on their experience:On the team and its preparations in the run-up:Viren Rasquinha (Midfielder): We were pretty confident heading into the tournament. We had a very good team and we had excellent training sessions for a month and a half in Hyderabad.I remember being in our hotel rooms in Hyderabad when we heard of the 9/11 attacks. We were stunned. We didnt know if the tour would go on since international travel looked difficult. Mercifully, it did.For many of us, it was our first big junior-level tournament. We were just focused on our first pool stage since it was a complicated format with an initial league phase followed by top two teams advancing to the second group phase. We had a rudimentary set up: the place where we were put up wasnt great, the ground where we trained in Begumpet wasnt good either and the boys from the North hated the food there, but the mark of a wonderful team is its ability to tide over all challenges. Thats what we did.Gagan Ajit Singh (Captain): It was incredible to have led the Indian side to a historic win. We had a tough pre-tournament camp in Hyderabad and that set us up well. Every morning when we went for a run in Hobart, we took a route which would allow us a glimpse of the trophy, kept on display in a glass case in a showroom. It made our yearning for the title stronger.Jugraj Singh (Defender): The place where we stayed in Hyderabad during the World Cup training camp was quite shabby. The food was horrible. When current FIH president and then national federation secretary Narinder Batra visited us, we explained our plight to him. He spoke to the hotel manager and paid from his pocket, requesting better food arrangements for the players.It was a great team, a combination of youth and experience with most of the players having played alongside each other for a long time. While all the other teams stayed at plush hotels in Hobart, we were put up in a small motel, part of which was still under construction.On the matches and the teams performance:Viren: We were in for a culture shock when we landed in the thinly-populated town of Hobart. The roads were empty, a car passed by the motel only once every 15 minutes and coming from the crowd of India, we wondered if there was some sort of a bandh (strike) there.The ground was picturesque, nestled between the mountains on one side and the sea on the other. In some matches, it was tough to grip the stick because of the freezing cold, made worse by the persistent rain.In the initial phase, we had easy wins over Canada, Scotland and Spain. Winning our first match against Canada 5-0 helped settle nerves. We had a nightmare draw. In the second group phase, there were two pools of four teams each and Australia, Netherlands and Argentina were in our pool.Surprisingly, favourites Australia and Netherlands went out and underdogs India and Argentina went through to the semis and eventually the finals. We had a bad start to the second pool stage - we drew with Argentina 2-2 and lost to Australia 2-1, so we were almost out of the tournament and needed not just to win our last match against Netherlands but also needed other results to go our way.Luckily, Argentina beat Australia and Netherlands. We were leading the Dutch 4-3 and they needed just a draw to progress. Netherlands got a penalty corner towards the end and our semi-final spot was on the line. I was part of the line defending the short corner and that was possibly the most nerve-wracking moment of my entire career. Somehow we managed to save that penalty corner.Our semi-final against reigning champions Germany was also tense. We led them 3-0 at half-time but they stormed back after the break. They had about 10 short corners and made it 3-2. We barely managed to keep them at bay. After those two matches, we felt like we had aged by 10 years.Gagan: We started with an effortless win over Canada. We managed to dominate most of the other teams, except Australia, which was the only side we lost to during the entire tournament.Jugraj:?We had a tough encounter against Argentina and were on the verge of a loss, but managed to hold them to a draw, after which we lost to Australia.After that defeat, we began to feel it was probably time for us to pack our bags. When we were warming up against Netherlands, we felt it was already all over. But we had underestimated ourselves.After our win, I remember their coach remarking that the title now belonged to Germany (our next opponents) now that Netherlands, the only team capable of stopping them, were out of the tournament. German players, in fact, refused to shake hands with us after we beat them in the semis and most of them were biting their palms out of anger and frustration.On the final against Argentina:Viren:?In the final, we were a relieved lot, we had nothing to lose. At the team meeting before the final, we decided to play attacking, free-flowing hockey and stamp our authority from the start. It was important because, like us, Argentina had performed way above expectations right through the tournament.Our early goal opened the floodgates. Deepak (Thakur) scored a brilliant hat-trick. Above all, it was just an immense team effort.Gagan: On the eve of the final, a dinner was hosted for the sides along with a photo-op for both captains along with the trophy. I remember being courteous and offering the Argentina captain the first chance to get photographed. I was shocked when he replied: You should get a picture now because its your last chance. Tomorrow you wont get to see this trophy. Well be taking it back with us to Argentina.We ended up beating Argentina 6-1. After our win, I went up to him and asked whether he would like a picture with the trophy. He turned pale and fumbled for words before declining.Jugraj: During our warm-up for the final, we used the barbs that the Argentina captain threw at our captain during the previous nights dinner to motivate the side: Unhonen bada tagda baat kiya hai, iska jawaab toh dena padega (Theyve used very strong words and we must give a befitting reply).Since we had struggled against Argentina in our group-stage encounter, we decided to go all out this time. Thankfully, we kept getting goal-scoring opportunities at regular intervals and were successful in averting any attempt from their side. Deepak (Thakur) had a great backhand and made the most of the first opportunity that came his way, entering the D to score a brilliant goal. Two penalty corners came our way after that and I managed to convert them both.When the scoreline was 3-0, the Argentinians looked visibly desperate and went into offensive mode, which gave us a chance to dominate them through counter-attacks.On the experience of being part of a historic win:Viren: It cant be put into words. The magnitude of our achievement hit us when we landed at Mumbai airport to find a sea of people waiting to welcome us. That win changed the lives of most in the team. 13 of us went straight into the senior team after the tournament and eight went on to feature in the 2004 Olympics as well. It was only after our win that opportunities and exposure for juniors improved.Gagan: The night of our win, national federation president KPS Gill threw us a party which went on till early in the morning. The win was also special for me because I was denied an opportunity to be a part of the 1997 junior side, which went on to win silver.?Despite being the highest scorer in the junior nationals that year, I was dropped from the national camp for the junior World Cup for being too young to play for the country. I was 16 or 17.Though rising media support fetched me a call-up, I wasnt picked eventually. So to not only be able to lead the side but also bring home the trophy was an incredible feeling. Crackers burst as our train chugged into the station. My home (in Firozpur, Punjab) is seven minutes away from the railway station. That day it took me five hours.Jugraj: After the win, we danced to Punjabi numbers on the ground. During the national camp in the run-up to the World Cup, when we were chatting with the 1997 junior team members who had won silver, one of them said: Kam se kam silver jeet ke aana, phir humse baat karna (First at least bring home silver, then talk to us).These barbs gave us motivation. Almost the entire junior team, barring a few, made it to the senior team and produced some very good results through the next couple of years - the 2002 Busan Asian Games, close to three editions of the Champions Trophy and practically all the top tournaments.On the title drought since and the current junior teams chances:Viren: A combination of factors worked to our advantage: A great team, wonderful coaching staff, very useful training sessions and a fair share of luck. Not often do these factors come together. I dont think India has since had such an incredible junior side which also explains why we havent won the title thereafter.I think in 2005 we had a superb team and a very good chance. This time, I think there arent any overwhelming favourites. Though India will be playing at home, I wouldnt count it as a huge advantage.Gagan: We had an exceptionally talented side with a great mix of energy, enthusiasm and experience. The players were so connected to each other. Although its tough to lay a finger on exactly why we havent won since, Im optimistic of the current team faring well.Jugraj: I think we had a realistic chance of winning the title in 2005. The current junior team also has a good number of players whove been playing alongside each other for a long time. Keeping in mind the team composition and its recent results, I will be surprised if they dont make the finals. Emmitt Smith Florida Jersey .

MADISON, Wis. Trevor Siemian Jersey . -- David Gilreath never planned on becoming a Wisconsin Badger. Instead, he arrived for a visit intent on reaffirming his commitment to Minnesota. The wide receiver prospect attended high school 12 miles from the Metrodome and hadnt experienced a college game anywhere else.Then, he witnessed the power of Camp Randall Stadium.You get a sense of what college football is supposed to be like as far as the fans, said Gilreath, who found himself looking into the stands as much as he watched Wisconsin beat Penn State back in 2006. Being out there, it was pretty crazy, seeing the Jump Around, seeing the wave they do, seeing the chants, how packed it was. I wasnt used to that. I remember that being the main factor. That was one of the main factors of saying Im going to Wisconsin -- the stadium.So it was only fitting that four years later, Gilreath would be responsible for producing one of the most memorable and loudest plays in the stadiums long history when he returned the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown against No. 1 Ohio State. As the crowd of 81,194 erupted under the lights of a primetime matchup, the ground shook beneath Gilreaths cleats. It felt, Gilreath said, like a movie starring the players. They rode that emotion to a 31-18 upset victory, and students stormed the field to share in the revelry with the team.I think it has to be one of the best atmospheres in college football, Gilreath said. This is a huge stage youre on, and fans are right on top of you. It overwhelms the other players a little bit.The Xs and Os are important. Camp Randall Stadium, however, could represent one of No. 8 Wisconsins biggest advantages when No. 2 Ohio State visits Saturday night (8 p.m. ET, ABC). The Badgers playoff dreams are at stake, and theyre listed as a 10.5-point underdog. But, as Gilreath or anyone else who has played there will tell you, dont overlook the Camp Randall affect, particularly at night.It was pretty nuts for a 3:30 kick, said Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, whose last visit there was a 2012 overtime victory. Its going to be loud -- really loud.Camp Randall Stadium, the fourth-oldest facility in the FBS, provides a home-field advantage that is generally considered among the best in the country. Since the start of the 2004 season, Wisconsin has compiled a 75-9 record there (.893 winning percentage). Among Power 5 programs, only Ohio State (80-9, .899) has won a higher percentage of its home games in that time frame.During big night games, when Camp Randall is the center of the nations attention as it will be Saturday, the place is notably manic. Its so loud even Jim Harbaugh was speechless back when he played at Michigan. And with all due respect to Virginia Techs heavy metal entrance from Metallicas Enter Sandman or Tennessees rendition of Rocky Top, nobody rocks like Wisconsin when Jump Around blares through the stereo system.Come for the football, stay for the party and even walk home through a Civil War camp. When you say Wis-con-sin, youve said it all.Theres a game thats labeled homecoming, but every game is a homecoming, I think, for people at Camp Randall, said Matt Lepay, in his 23rd season as the Badgers football radio play-by-play announcer. Its a social gathering, and the fact the team has been pretty good more often than not makes it that much better. Its more than a football game that gets people there.?This is the longest delay I have ever seen because of crowd noiseMichigan quarterback Jim Harbaugh backed away from center, pointed toward a referee and placed his hands on his hips, incredulous as boos rained down with strength and vitriol.It was Oct. 4, 1986, and No. 4 Michigan was in town to face Wisconsin in the first night game in Camp Randall Stadium history. The Badgers werent a particularly good team, but damned if the 75,898 fans in attendance werent going to turn the event into a raucous occasion.As Harbaugh drove Michigan in the third quarter toward the north end zone and Wisconsins student section, the collective roar reached an ear-splitting decibel level, to the point that Harbaugh claimed teammates could not hear his signals. For 10 minutes, Harbaugh repeated the process of crouching under center, walking away and then trying again, only to complain to officials. It marked the second occasion that night in which he delayed the game. Each time, the crowd grew more incensed.This is the longest delay Ive ever seen because of crowd noise, an announcer said on the television broadcast.Camp Randall Stadium has become known as one of the rowdiest venues in the Big Ten, if not the country, because of a fan base that exudes passion -- even if that passion can occasionally manifest itself in detrimental ways. Former Iowa coach Hayden Fry once called Camp Randall the worst place in the world to take a visiting team to play, which occurred after he said eggs were thrown at coaches and players, and beer and peppermint schnapps were poured on the team as well.Still, the electric atmosphere that pings through the stadium during big games is usually unforgettable, as it was 30 years ago, when Michigan coach Bo Schembechler bemoaned the ridiculously loud noise and chastised the entire Wisconsin crowd.I promise you, I will not allow the Michigan crowd to do that, and they wont, he told reporters afterward. People who come into our stadium are treated courteously.The incident was eerily similar to a November game six years earlier, when Michigan quarterback John Wangler refused to snap the ball inside Camp Randall because of excessive crowd noise. Seven times, Wangler backed away from the line of scrimmage, as Michigan faced a fourth-and-one at the Wisconsin 4-yard line.Following two warnings, referee Glenn Fortin assessed Wisconsin a timeout on the third occasion. Then, he took away the Badgers second and third timeouts. When those punishments failed, Fortin handed out two delay-of-game penalties, moving the ball to the 2-yard line and then the 1. Michigan scored the next play on a run from tailback Butch Woolfolk.I was in the stands, former Wisconsin athletics director and Badgers All-American receiver Pat Richter recalled. I remember seeing a friend of ours come racing down the stairway and Im thinking, What the hell is he doing? He got down around the fences behind the bench. He was hollering at Schembechler. He was madder than the dickens.Only Bo could have gotten something like that. All you need to do is warn the fans its too noisy. You know what youre going to get. It was quite the scene.Even the first documented complaints of excessive crowd noise at a college football game trace their roots back to Madison. According to the David M. Nelson book The Anatomy of a Game: Football, the Rules and the Men who Made the Game, famed Chicago Maroons coach Amos Alonzo Stagg claimed his team didnt win a 1914 game at Randall Field because of overzealous fans.Chicagos left end, John Vruwink, became rattled because several Wisconsin supporters were cheering loudly with megaphones near the corner of the end zone. Instead of holding a block for his fullback, he pulled into the backfield amid the hysteria and collided heads with him. The game ended in a 0-0 tie, in what Nelson wrote, may have been the first outdoors crowd-noise interference.After all these years, some things never change.Kevin cranked that on, and the place went nutsRyan Sondrups football career had ended prematurely because of an injury, and the former Badgers tight end began his last school year yearning for a way to fill the void. When he opted for a volunteer role with Wisconsins athletic marketing department in 1998, he couldnt have known that search would spawn one of the great traditions in college football.Sondrup, who spent three seasons on the team, believed part of the game-day experience felt stale and inquired with his bosses about how to enhance fan involvement. The response: Create a list of ideas and get back to us. Several concepts fell by the wayside, but one that seemed feasible to Sondrup was compiling a CD playlist to amp up the crowd.One night at Wandos, a popular downtown bar and grill, Sondrup and a few friends on the team began scrolling through the Jukebox. Up popped House of Pains 1992 hit Jump Around, a song with a high-energy introduction that encouraged everyone to -- what else? -- jump around.Eyebrows raised, and the group shared a collective thought: Hey, this could be something.That was our big moment, our big momentum-building idea to get the student section raucous, so to speak, Sondrup said.Sondrup presented his playlist to Kevin Kluender, an assistant marketing director at Wisconsin. Earlier in the season, Kluender had been searching for the right entertainment combination before the fourth quarter began. The stadium featured a primitive message board with a student section race, the dots ticking frame-by-frame across the screen. Kluender would follow up by playing a random song.But everything changed during Wisconsins only home night game that season on Oct. 10, 1998, against Purdue. Boilermakers quarterback Drew Brees was in the process of setting an NCAA passing record by completing 55 of 83 throws, and the game had begun to drag on. After the third quarter, Kluender scanned Sondrups playlist trying to liven up the fan base. He settled on Jump Around.My back was sort of to the student section a little bit, Kluender said. I could see that people are pointing and looking. I turned around and saw everyone jumping. It just kind of looked like popcorn. You had never seen anything like that.Added Sondrup: Kevin cranked that on, and the place went nuts.The stadium shook and the press box swayed, infusing a new energy into Camp Randall. Wisconsin went on to win the game 31-24 on its way to a Rose Bowl appearance.Kluender played the song during Wisconsins final two home games, but it wasnt until the following season when he realized what a gem the school had on its hands. Even during nonconference blowouts against overmatched opponents, students stayed in their seats just so they could bob their heads and hop up and down to Jump Around.Controversy briefly followed in 2003, when Richter, then the athletics director, asked for the song not to be played in the home opener against Akron because the stadium was under construction, and he feared the shaking could be dangerous. Outrage reached such high levels that Chancellor John D. Wiley was forced to step in. He announced Jump Around could be played the next week during a home game against UNLV after a study determined the building would remain structurally sound.Man, you shouldve seen the people when the song didnt happen, Richter said. All of a sudden, boos. I got emails and letters from people saying, Its a right that we have. It didnt take long for the administration to change it. I said, This is a good way to leverage some of the profanity that will happen if you dont play Jump Around. The administration decided to bite the bullet.In the years since, Jump Around has been cemented as a staple, alongside renditions of Sweet Caroline and Build me up Buttercup. It has quickly become considered one of the best traditions in college football, and Saturday will mark the 91st consecutive home game in which Jump Around is played, providing an energy jolt that is difficult to replicate elsewhere.You see other stadiums try to do it, Sondrup said. Theyll play Jump Around, and you kind of laugh. To see the student section embrace it, I think its that energy of Camp Randall. Theyre the ones that took it and ran with it and made it what it is. Its just a great place to play.There is certainly a mystiqueWhen Daniel Einstein overlays sketches of Camp Randall Stadium with the area as it existed 152 years ago, a historical significance surfaces that separates the edifice from every other in college football.There, lining up perfectly in the student section on the fields north side, is where a group of barracks was built for enlisted Union men during the Civil War. The space for the stadiums luxury suites once served as a hillside headquarters for Camp Randall military operations.When the football players are marching down the field, they are following in the footsteps of the military parade ground during the Civil War period, said Einstein, the historic and cultural resources manager at the University of Wisconsin.Most people dont have an awareness of the precise cohabitation of the present activities with the Civil War activities. I wouldnt say that the level of awareness is very high. But there is certainly a mystique.From 1861-65, roughly 70,000 enlisted men came through the complex -- nearly as many people as what fills the stadium on game days now. Camp Randall differed from many Civil War training grounds because it was used temporarily as a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp. At the end of April 1862, 1,400 Confederate soldiers, captured at the Battle of Shiloh in Tennessee, were brought back to Camp Randall. The roughly 140 who died in Madison from battlefield injuries are buried at the northernmost Confederate cemetery in the United States.Following the Civil War, the land again became the state fairgrounds. When Gen. Ulysses S. Grant visited the site 15 years later, he called the transformation a symbol of beating the spears of war into the plowshares of peace.In 1893, veterans successfully lobbied to have the land donated to the university as a memorial athletic site. Veterans settled on camp instead of field to preserve the memory of the venue. Football was first played at Camp Randall in 1895, and construction of the current stadium began in 1913. The stadium became fully functional in 1917 and has increased in seating capacity from 10,000 to 80,321. All the while, its connection to the past has endured.A memorial arch was erected and dedicated in 1912 to the Civil War veterans who enlisted from Wisconsin. The arch serves as the entrance to Camp Randall Memorial Park -- a historic site listed on the National Register of Historic Places -- as well as the entrance to Camp Randall Stadium for the schools marching band on football Saturdays.Its not just a park, Einstein said. Its a place where veterans returned. They actually came back for a 75th reunion. This was guys in their 90s coming back to Camp Randall to remember the comrades that died in that Civil War. It was a special place, and we ought to respect it.Thats part of the mystery of the Wisconsin fan ... We get all these people to do crazy thingsDevotion is 40,000 fans braving bitter cold and a three-hour football game to stay for a 20-minute performance from the schools band so they can participate in the largest Chicken Dance youve ever seen. Mike Leckrone has witnessed the madness, known as The Fifth Quarter, up close for decades as Wisconsins band director. Yet explaining the popularity of those postgame shows remains elusive.Thats part of the mystery of the Wisconsin fan, Leckrone said. We get all these people to do crazy things, and theyve done it for years and years. I dont know that theyve ever been able to do anything quite like it anywhere else in the country. People have called me and said, Tell me about this Fifth Quarter.Wisconsin fans are very gregarious, and what we try to do is feed on that and give them some things back that they can pick up on and then have fun with us, too.Leckrone arrived in 1969 to serve as director of the schools marching band and took over as director of the entire band in 1975 -- a role he holds today at age 80. During the early years, the football team inspired little confidence while in the midst of a 20-game winless streak. On-campus protests during the Vietnam War meant few students were interested in wearing a uniform and marching military style. But Leckrone, whose childhood fantasy was to lead a Big Ten band down the field, never wavered in his enthusiasm while leading postgame shows despite minimal interest.Curiosity started to pique during a famous 1978 home football game against Oregon. The band had begun rotating through a series of commercial jingles, including the Budweiser tune, Here Comes the King, with a style imitative of a typical German band. Leckrone seized on the opportunity after fans previously showed great interest in the Beer Barrel Polka. With the help of his band, Leckrone convinced students to change the lyrics from When you say Budweiser, youve said it all, to When you say Wisconsin, youve said it all.During that Oregon game, he played the song on multiple occasions and worked the crowd into a fervor, which coincided with a Wisconsin comeback victory. The song became such a hit that the upper deck of Camp Randall Stadium swayed when it was played, prompting then-athletics director Elroy Hirsch to tell Leckrone not to play the song during games.Instead, Leckrone had the public address speaker make an announcement that it would not be played until five minutes after the game had completed to allow concerned fans to exit, intentionally making a big fuss to spotlight his bands postgame show. The momentum for the song led local sports writer Glenn Miller to dub the performance The Fifth Quarter -- a name that has stuck ever since. The shows became so popular in lean football seasons that Leckrone noted more fans arrived at the end of the game than during.What Mike has done there through the years means a lot to people with the game-day experience, said Lepay, the longtime radio announcer. When you see the band, you see theyre having a good time. Theyre getting involved. The fans see that, they know that, and they like to have a lot of fun with it.Leckrone has continued to find ways to entertain fans over the years, expanding the bands repertoire. He incorporated the Chicken Dance after the schools crew coach, Randy Jablonic, returned from a trip to Europe and suggested Leckrone play it at games. In the 1980s, several of his band members began mimicking Pee Wee Hermans Tequila Dance, and the song quickly found its way into the postgame performance. His biggest failure, he said, was a rendition of the Macarena that students booed because they were fatigued of its popularity in the 1990s.While Leckrone cant fully express why the bands performance has become so important to fans, its role in enhancing the game-day atmosphere has proven to be nearly as vital as the actual game.We have about 20 minutes of solid stuff that is just foolishness in a lot of ways, Leckrone said. But its fun stuff.The party pulls into town again Saturday for a top-10 battle with playoff implications, and football will only be half the fun. Welcome to Camp Randall Stadium. Gary Zimmerman Jersey . You can watch the game live on TSN at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. The Flyers had won seven of eight before dropping their last two outings on consecutive days over the weekend. Philadelphia was handed a 6-3 loss by the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon before dropping a 4-1 decision to the Rangers the following night in New York City. Dennis Smith Womens Jersey .H. -- Matt Kenseth made it 2 for 2 in the Chase, holding off teammate Kyle Busch to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. http://www.nflbroncosteamprostore.com/Youth-Dennis-Smith-Elite-Jersey/ . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. The PGA Tour returns this week with a trip to Napa, Calif. and the Safeway Open. While Tiger Woods late withdrawal from the tournament is a bummer for golf enthusiasts, there are plenty of other intriguing golfers in this weeks field.Our experts have put together the players they believe have the skills to succeed and provide big fantasy point totals. This weeks panel is comprised of Michael Collins, Jason Sobel and Bob Harig as well as FantasyGolfInsiders Jeff Bergerson, Zach Turcotte, Taras Pitra and Jason Rouslin.Note: Golfer salaries listed are for DraftKings.Michael Collins -- Jon Rahm ($10,200)In 9 starts last season he missed one cut and only finished outside the top 25 twice in the eight cuts he made. He has big game and the quiet confidence of a guy who knows he can be one of the elite. Expect this week to be the beginning of a breakout season.Jason Sobel -- Patrick Rodgers ($7,400)All those NorCal fans who shelled out some cash for tickets to see their beloved Stanford product this week will consider it money well spent when Rodgers, who shares the Cardinal all-time win record with Maverick McNealy and some guy named Tiger, grabs his first career PGA Tour title.Bob Harig -- Paul Casey ($11,600)The Englishman didnt win during the 2015-16 season but he nonetheless was one of the Tours hottest players toward the end, contending for the FedEx Cup title despite no victories. Expect his good form to carry over to the first event of the new season.Taras Pitra -- Charles Howell III ($7,600)Howells surgery kept him out of action for a huge chunk of the season last year and there was some obvious rust that needed to be knocked off when he came back. Fast forward to this week and CH3 has had two months to get back to 100 percent and work on his game while everyone else was participating in the FEC & Ryder Cup. Howell, likke Henley, is known as an early season horse and I expect more of the same from him this year (barring any setbacks)Jeff Bergerson -- Wesley Bryan ($7,900)We saw Bryan several times on the PGA Tour last season and he performed relatively well with three made cuts in four events, including a T8 at The John Deere Classic. Brian Dawkins Womens Jersey. . However, three of those weeks he was priced in the $9,000 price range. This week he has a meager price tag. Coming off a season on the Web.com tour that featured seven Top 10s in 15 events played, including three wins, he is clearly a top-line talent. Bryan should fit well into your cash games and GPP rosters alike.Zach Turcotte -- Hudson Swafford ($7,800)Swafford was a model of consistency over the last 4-5 months of the PGA season, making the cut in his final 12 starts. He is solid off the tee and with his putter. He is also particularly good with his mid to long range irons which puts him in position to drain a lot of birdies, especially on par 5 holes where he is one of the better players on Tour. Swafford has a tendency to let one or two bad holes ruin an entire round, but if he can stay focused, he will take yet another step forward in his development as a player this season.Jason Rouslin -- Grayson Murray ($7,500)Second on last years Web.com money list behind Bryan and first during the Web.com finals series -- as well as teammate of another ASU Sun Devil that has already made big noise on tour, Jon Rahm -- Murray makes his first start as a rookie on Tour. The course seems to set up well for him as he his long off the tee (ranked 4th in distance on the Web.com) and subsequently led the Tour in par 5 scoring. Look for him to make a splash in his rookie debut.
