Globetrotting with Push With your host, Raji "Push" Pushparajah 10/19/02 - Madison, Wisconsin Those Americans caught up in the rush of the weekly spectacle that is college football will no doubt consider a trip to the hotbeds of campus sports culture (and craziness!) a true exploration of American pride at its best. To visit this culture further, I was given a unique opportunity to jump in an RV and road trip to Madison for a tailgate and game by my good friends at the Ohio State University Medical School as a return gift for the many occasions on which I've given their students the opportunity to practice delicate and cutting-edge procedures. The city of Madison was alive with energy and color like only a classic college town can be on game day. Our early arrival gave me a chance to explore the musty bookshops, cafes and red-infused storefronts near campus. After a mouth-watering pre-game buffet of barbecued chicken, corn and baked beans like they can only make in America, my walk to the famous Camp Randall Stadium was interrupted by a group of pro-Badger masked terrorists who lifted me high above the crowd and carried me roughly through the streets, shouting "Buckeyes Suck! Sacrifice!" Now normally being dropped in a vodka-filled kiddie pool of "Jungle Juice" might be considered the peak of honor among UW fraternity culture, but somehow the arc of the toss that the group of smashed Sigma Pis used to launch me from the Union balcony caught the tip of the cigarette of one of the lovely young coeds that this town is known for. I must admit that even at my age, the carefree fashions of youth on some of these girls still turn my head! Once the flames subsided (Thank you, Madison Fire Department, with your sophisticated foam fire suppressant system!), I was carted to the University Medical Center, with its world-famous burn unit. There I was able to enjoy the exciting 19-14 victory by Ohio State. Go Buckeyes!
