Wisconsin will resume Big Ten play this week with another ranked rival from the Eastern Division. No.14 ranked Michigan comes to town on Saturday, along with yet another Fox Sports Big Noon Kickoff crew. This game has been a spectacle in recent years, but these Badgers look nothing like the team that blew out Michigan in the Big House last year 49-11. In order for Wisconsin to get back on track against a tough Wolverine team, they must do three things exceptionally well.

For all the time spent discussing parity in major sports, there have always been certain teams and programs associated with winning and success. America has several premier sports franchises that have been ingrained into culture as bastions of success, such as the LA Lakers, the Boston Celtics, the New England Patriots, the Green Bay Packers, the Yankees, the Alabama Crimson Tide and more.

Fresh off a week of rest, the 18th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers (1-1) will take the field Saturday morning against the 12th-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish (3-0). Although this is officially a home game for Wisconsin, it will take place at Soldier Field, which happens to be 58 miles closer to South Bend than it is to Madison. Thus, both fan bases are likely to be well represented — and well hydrated — for the 11 a.m. kickoff.

After a long spring and summer of blaming COVID-19, the stealing of plays, the lack of fans and the oddity that was 2020 as a whole for last year’s abysmal season, the Badgers were given a chance to play without any of those factors and they looked the exact same.
