"Go make it happen."

Russell Wilson had plenty of good advice for the graduating class at Wisconsin, where he played his final season of college ball and gave the commencement speech on Saturday.
His best advice, however, was this:
"If you're dating a woman that's way out of your league, ask her to marry you. If you can throw a football 80 yards, for some reason, people think that's pretty cool. And if you're playing the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, and you've got 26 seconds left and you're down by four, and it's second and goal on their 1-yard line, try not to throw an interception.
"That's purely, purely hypothetical though, of course."
Wilson had plenty of other gems in his speech, which you can watch in the video above.

And when he was done, Russ joined the grads for one last "Jump Around".
#UWGrad class couldn't say goodbye to Camp Randall without one last Jump Around ... with @DangeRussWilson https://t.co/QexUu7acGP
