MADISON — Senior transfer quarterback Russell Wilson already has been dumped in the ice tubs that sit outside the locker room by his new University of Wisconsin teammates.
He also took part in an impromptu dance contest with some of the guys.
And when coach Bret Bielema had Wilson get up at the first meeting and state his name and where he is from — a ritual normally limited to the freshmen — there were good-natured catcalls and hooting.
Russell-mania has gripped the state, from bar stools to gas stations, with people who can't seem to get enough of the new Badgers quarterback.(wisconsin recall, wisconsin, milwaukee journal, wisconsin recall polls, wisconsin elections)
"I get it every day," Bielema said Sunday. "Since I've been a head coach, I've never had so many people ... I'll just be filling up my car with gas at a gas station and somebody will come up and ask me questions about him."
