Three keys to defeat the Wolverines
(10/02/21 12:26pm)
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.

Limiting mistakes, staying true to Wisconsin football vital for the Badgers in Chicago
(09/24/21 3:30am)
Quarterback Graham Mertz was terrible in the red zone against Penn State. Once the Badgers got inside the 10, he struggled with the simplest part of playing quarterback: handing the ball off. In that game, Mertz fumbled the exchange with Chez Melusi from the eight-yard line and would later trip Melusi on another handoff against Eastern Michigan.
Can No.12 Notre Dame find its way back into the College Football Playoff? A Notre Dame writer weighs in.
(09/23/21 4:22pm)
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team is currently sitting at No.12 in the country after compiling a 3-0 start off of solid play by graduate transfer and former Wisconsin starting quarterback Jack Coan. Behind Coan's efficient play, the Fighting Irish are averaging over 33 points per game and are looking to achieve back-to-back appearances in the College Football Playoff.
Badgers set to face Notre Dame, Coan, in Chicago
(09/23/21 7:00am)
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.

Bye Week Check-In
(09/16/21 7:00am)
An early bye week this season means we don’t have too much to go off of, but with the Badgers not playing football this upcoming Saturday, let’s revisit those first two games and evaluate the team thus far.
Eastern Michigan: The least likely proving ground
(09/11/21 9:27pm)
Well, I think it’s safe to say this wasn’t expected. 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.
Eastern Michigan, everything you need to know
(09/11/21 9:25pm)
This Saturday, when the Eastern Michigan Eagles come to Madison in search of an upset against the 18th ranked Badgers, they'll likely lean heavily on the legs of their young running back, Darius Boone Jr.
Eastern Michigan @ Wisconsin: Three keys to victory
(09/11/21 9:20pm)
Wisconsin will take the field once again at Camp Randall Stadium on Saturday, this time under the lights against Eastern Michigan, who beat St. Francis 35-15 last week. To capture their first win of 2021, the Badgers will need a better all-around performance than they displayed in the 16-10 loss to Penn State, but they must place particular emphasis on a few areas of their game.
Can Badgers bounce back against sneaky Eastern Michigan?
(09/09/21 6:22pm)
Badger football is reeling after an opening Big Ten loss last Saturday and Eastern Michigan awaits the team for game two. The offense, which was anticipated to be the best Madison has seen in decades, struggled mightily. The defense showed more promise, save for a few receptions given up downfield.
Berger’s absence puzzling in UW’s opening week loss to Penn State
(09/09/21 7:00am)
Among many things that had Badgers fans scratching their head during No. 12 Wisconsin’s 16-10 loss to No. 19 Penn State Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium, one concern stood out most –– where in the world was Jalen Berger?
Breaking down the COVID-19 extra year of eligibility
(09/09/21 7:00am)
With fall sports starting back up, Badger fans might be surprised to see some of their favorite athletes returning to play for an extra year. Last October, the NCAA announced that they would be granting all Division I fall and winter sport athletes an extra year of eligibility, regardless of whether they competed in the 2020-21 season.
Welcome (back) to Camp Randall. Here's what to expect

Camp Randall Stadium, like many of the other great venues in college football, desperately missed a key element during the 2020 season: a real crowd.
Meet the team: the 2021 Badgers
(06/07/21 9:00am)
The shortened 2020 season was a frustrating one for redshirt sophomore quarterback Graham Mertz. After a freak ankle injury sidelined Jack Coan earlier last fall, Mertz dazzled in his first career start against Illinois in week one, a Friday night kickoff that had the eyes of the nation watching the young QB. The former four-star recruit connected on 20 of 21 passes for 248 yards and five touchdowns, leading then-No.14 Wisconsin to a blowout win over the Illini.
Packers draft targets: Get Aaron Rodgers some help
(04/29/21 7:00am)
After last year’s baffling draft decisions, especially on the first two days, the Green Bay Packers will once again look to shore up their weaknesses and gear up for another ride with Aaron Rodgers. It’s not that drafting a third string quarterback (Jordan Love) and a third string running back (AJ Dillon) with their first two picks hurt the Packers title chances last year, it’s that they didn’t contribute to them at all.
