MADISON, Wis. — Sprinting the length of a football field in nothing but sneakers and a mullet wig sounds like a dumb idea - especially for a former high school valedictorian.

But that is what University of Wisconsin-Madison senior Erik Adams did in front of 79,793 people during the Badgers' 17-10 victory over Ohio State on Saturday. After his racy run, Adams, 22, surrendered to police.

Police said Adams had a blood-alcohol content of 0.09. The computer engineering major was cited for running on the field and disorderly conduct and fined $672.

Adams was the valedictorian of his class at Adams-Friendship High School in Friendship, Wis., and is attending UW on a scholarship.

Adams reportedly arrived at the game in tear-away pants, no shirt and a fleece jacket. As the game got underway, he left his seat and took a spot under the scoreboard.

When the time came, he stripped down to his Nikes, donned a mullet wig, and sprinted onto the field. He ran past dozens of dumbfounded players and into the waiting arms of police.

Later that night, according to Adams, strangers gave him about $50 to help pay his fines. They said they had recognized the streaker from t-shirts his friends made to commemorate the occasion.

I hope his little run in the buff was worth $672 to him. Personally, someone would have to pay me a LOT more than $672 to even think about doing something like that.

LMAO, hey some people show their spirit one way, and some another!

That was hilarious to see the streaker run across the field. I was watching the badger/OSU game at a local bar and everyone there laughed at the streaker! I wasn't surprised since this is the first time in 19 games that OSU has lost along with Wisconsin finally beating a top 5 team. This was a night game so students had a chance to liquor up on State St. before hand.
