Broadcasting legend names Wisconsin's 'Jump Around' his favorite football tradition

Broadcasting legend Al Michaels is a fan of Wisconsin’s famous ‘Jump Around’ tradition.

Michaels was recently on the call of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. His partner on the Amazon Prime broadcast is Kirk Herbstreit — lead college football color analyst and one of the most notable figures in the overall media landscape.

The conversation turned to Herbstreit’s experience in college atmospheres, seeing different stadium traditions and environments every weekend.

That led Michaels to share the following:

“Well, you see this like every week in college, something’s going on. My favorite is the Wisconsin ‘Jump Around’ at the end of the third quarter.”

Even with the program’s on-field struggles dating back to 2020, at least it is still known for the best tradition in sports. Let Michaels’ opinion define that as fact.
