Additionally, Carmex® has teamed with local Green Bay artists, Zane Statz and Spencer Young, to produce a large-scale mural welcoming LSU Tiger and Wisconsin Badger fans to Lambeau Field.

At the college level, leaping into the front row, as Green Bay Packers have often done following a touchdown since the tradition was started by former Pro Bowl safety LeRoy Butler, would draw a 15-yard penalty that Miles won’t tolerate. He said it is a dream of his to do the “Lambeau Leap” and that he will take the punishment if he gets the chance to do so.
Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst has only said he knows the leap is a penalty.
“I thought the kids had a really good energy to them and look forward to this week’s preparation for the game obviously”, Chryst said. The Lambeau Leap would nearly certainly be penalized as unsportsmanlike conduct should it occur on Saturday.
Chryst said the team did talk about it in the spring, and that the topic might come up again this week. But the most important story is whether Wisconsin can actually beat a powerhouse SEC opponent after dropping the past two season openers against LSU and Alabama. The most glaring priority is trying to stop LSU running back and Heisman Trophy candidate Leonard Fournette.
“We’re going to be different than what we were past year”, Chryst told reporters.
What to expect with Dave Aranda’s LSU defense after spending a year with him as Wisconsin’s defensive coordinator: “I think that every time you go into the game you have a plan and base it on the knowledge that you have”.
“Hoping it’s kind of vice versa”, center Michael Deiter said.
In March during spring practice, the Badgers practiced in Green Bay.
The LSU fans are bringing some of their supplies; including their own crawfish from home, bringing them in ice trunks.
“The reality is that our guys wanted to stay down and it’s something that they can do, and I’m going to take it under advisement and say that they can see the field from there. I’m concerned about how we approach and ultimately how that transfers into how we play”.
But this weekend is all about business.

“After you win, that’s a whole totally different story”, Shelton said. “Then me getting to play at Lambeau, a place where I’ve watched a lot growing up, that adds a little bit too it”.
