The Camp Randall 100 is an exclusive list celebrating 100 people who have shaped Camp Randall Stadium's history across the realms of sports, music, culture and beyond. A new honoree will be revealed each day over the final 100 days leading up to kickoff of the Wisconsin football team's season opener with Utah State on Friday, Sept. 1. The Camp Randall 100 reveal is part of a year-long celebration of the history of the iconic stadium, which opened in 1917.
 

MADISON, Wis. — They never saw Mike Kalasmiki coming. Seriously. Oregon didn't even have the Badgers' third-string quarterback listed on its pregame depth chart heading into the teams' 1978 meeting at Camp Randall Stadium.

Kalasmiki added to the intrigue of Wisconsin's attempt at an epic comeback, as did the birth of what has become a Camp Randall tradition known simply as the Bud Song.
