Are you suffering from Camp Randall Stadium withdrawal? Do you feel an overwhelming urge to "Jump Around?" The Big Ten Network has you covered.

On June 19 - that's next Thursday - the Big Ten Network celebrates "Wisconsin Day" with 24-hours of Badger-related programming.

The schedule includes some of Wisconsin's best performances in 2007-08, including the Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament championship game against Illinois, the thrilling road win at Indiana thanks to Brian Butch's last-second heroics, the Big Ten Indoor Track and Field Championships and the women's soccer team's win against Ohio State. In addition, the 2008 spring football game will air in its entirety at 9 a.m.

Also to air is the 2003 Wisconsin-Ohio State football game, in which third-string quarterback Matt Schabert led the Badgers to a stunning, 17-10 victory in Columbus, the 1999 Rose Bowl and the 1997 basketball game between Wisconsin and No. 2 Minnesota a 66-65 upset at the UW Field House.

The lineup also includes campus-produced profiles of notable Wisconsin alums like runner Suzy Favor-Hamilton, women's hockey coach Mark Johnson and NPR host Michael Feldman.

Now ... if only the Big Ten Network was available to Time Warner Cable subscribers.
