The key for games in hostile environments is to shut the crowd up early. I've never been to Camp Randall for a game, but on the tube, it seems like one of the toughest venues in the Big Ten. Probably because by the time the Buckeyes come into town, the crowd has been drunk for 6 weeks straight. last year, we were able to quiet the Purdue and PSU crowds pretty early (UM fans didn't even bring their keys last year). Given that most of this year's team has played in about 5 "Game of the Centuries" already, I don't expect them to be intimidated by the crowds. Playing in Madison at night always makes me nervous, though. At least we don't have 3 F'n Big Ten night games this year.
