One of the new offerings of the revamped Ryan Field is the Jolt pre-game show, where students can get hyped for the game by participating in challenges, getting free food, and winning prizes. Earlier today, Joe Spivak– AKA “The Jolt” – unveiled the newest competition to take place before the next NU home game: a backflip-off-the-roof competition.

 Any student who does a backflip (with at least one full rotation) off the roof of the new stadium and lands it will get the chance to experience Wildcats football in a whole new way. In the unlikely event that multiple students survive the landing, the tie will be broken by fewest broken bones. The winner of the challenge will get the opportunity to watch the entire first quarter of a non-conference game from field level– an entire 6 feet away from the Wildcat Wall– on a luxurious purple couch that, at time of publication, only has two cum stains.

When asked about potential concerns for participant safety, The Jolt said that his team was taking precautions by way of “airtight” waivers that participants will be required to sign. “I am in the business of giving out free hot dogs and free t-shirts, not free tuition,” he said. He also said that the backflip idea was a “scaled-down version” of an earlier plan to have students ride motorcycles off the roof, since President Mung Chiang refused to purchase Jolt-branded Harleys.

            Any students interested in participating should show up early at Ryan Field before this weekend’s game and take the stairs to the roof two hours before kickoff.
