The Tall Grass Game refers to the 1928 Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin football game played on October 6, 1928, between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Wisconsin Badgers. Notre Dame, coached by the legendary Knute Rockne, arrived in Madison, Wisconsin, only to find that the grass on the football field at Camp Randall Stadium had not been mowed in a week. Rumor was that Wisconsin coach Glenn Thistlethwaite wanted to slow down the speedy Notre Dame Irish players. Rockne demanded the field be trimmed and Thistelwaite refused.〔 The game was considered to be one of the premier non-conference games of the time. Before the game began, a stadium-record 40,000 fans were expected to attend the game, an attendance mark that was achieved.〔 The Badgers upset the Irish 22–6, and Wisconsin fans still refer to the game as "The Victory In The Tall Grass." 〔Oliver Koechle and Jim Mott, "On Wisconsin: Badger Football", pages 111-113 (c) 1977.〕 It was called the first win by a Big Ten Conference team over Notre Dame in over a decade, but that has been disputed. ==References==
