The Wedge Badger Game Day Party: Oktoberfest Style
Huge thanks to Jacob and The Wedge for having me at their first Oktoberfest party. We threw a 5th quarter shindig after the Wisconsin Badgers beat Purdue on the gridiron. I’m especially glad to see friends who came for the polka vibes who were also first-timers at The Wedge.
What is the 5th Quarter?
For Shotski Lodge readers who aren’t in Wisconsin, the 5th Quarter is what University of Wisconsin football fans lovingly refer to as the party at Camp Randall Stadium that happens at the end of a game. The marching band shows off their antics while playing lively tunes, including “Roll Out the Barrel (the Beer Barrel Polka),” the Budweiser Song, and the Chicken Dance to encourage fans to polka for post-game reverie (whether we won or not).
