“ Nevertheless, it was evident early on that everyone was having fun being part of the show.
“Initially, it was clapping to ‘ You’ve Said it All’ and arm waving to ‘ Varsity, ‘” the website says.
They started this tradition by playing songs that got the student section involved. “They continued to participate and the tradition started.”Īccording to UW’s marching band website, around 1977, the band received national attention with a new approach to the post-game show. “We tried it at the start of the ’99 season,” Kluender said. Not knowing if this tradition would stick, Wisconsin’s marketing department tried the song in the ‘99 season as it was a success.įootball: Five-star Rucci chooses Badgers Nolan Rucci, Son of former NFL guard Todd Rucci and brother of current Badger Hayden Rucci, has announced his commitment Read… The Badgers went on to finish the 1998 season 11-1 with a victory in the Rose Bowl. “It all started as just another song to energize fans with the ulterior motive of trying to make it difficult for Purdue to move the ball,” UW Assistant Athletic Director for marketing and promotions Kevin Kluender said in a 2019 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article. Now, over twenty years later, “Jump Around” is considered one of the best traditions in college football. As the Boilers’ potent offense changed ends, “Jump Around” by House of Pain was played through the loudspeakers. The Boilers, led by quarterback Drew Brees were trying to deadlock the game at 24 as the third quarter came to a close. In 1998, a talented Purdue team was driving against the then No. The Badger Herald delved into the origins of these four great football traditions. Traditions such as “Jump Around,” singing “Build Me Up Buttercup” staying late for “Bucky’s 5th Quarter” and the rallying cry of “On, Wisconsin” are all traditions that have been staples at University of Wisconsin football games. Twenty-three years later, the Pavlovian response is the same when House of Pain's "Jump Around" is played at Camp Randall before the start of every fourth quarter.Back when Saturdays were filled with Badgeralls and miniature earthquakes produced by thousands of students participating in Wisconsin’s famous“Jump Around” tradition, did you ever think about its origin, and that of many other storied gameday traditions? University of Wisconsin has made 'Jump Around' its own Night game at Camp Randall Stadium.Ī Drew Brees-led Purdue team is driving toward the end zone when the quarter ends and the teams switch direction.Īs the Boilermakers prepare to move the football toward the north end zone and the University of Wisconsin-Madison student section, the wailing of trumpets playing three F sharps followed by a B note blares from the loudspeakers.Īnd suddenly the student section looks like red and white kernels of popcorn popping during an earthquake. It has since become a tradition for fans and players to jump around to the song before the fourth quarter begins.The song was an immediate hit with fans (and players) and continued to be played through the rest of the season.House of Pain's "Jump Around" was first played at a Wisconsin Badgers football game against Purdue at Camp Randall Stadium in 1998.
