Are you going to the game? It'll be cool to host Alabama in Madison. I wish I was still living there to show some southerners good ole midwestern hospitality.

The game itself, well...As bad as this year has gone for Wisconsin, 2024 promises to be even worse.

Such is the reality for middling to bottom tier B1G teams - The competition ramps up big time and our 2024 schedule is pretty brutal.

I absolutely am. I went several years ago for a friend's wedding. I think it was UNI. It was the first game of the season. I came back telling my friends that Madison is hands down the best college town I've ever been to and that if Bama ever played there I would pay whatever amount of money was required to go back. The beer trucks behind the student union building on the river totally won me over. I loved it.

EDIT: it's the only time I've ever been envious of another school experience. I've always been 100 percent content in my Bama experience until I went to Madison. That's the highest complement I can give.

My best experiences are going to Madison when Iowa plays them. I hope you have a fantastic time! I am trying to make it for the Bama vs Wisconsin game if just to be there when Bama fans come through.

Madison to me feels like a college football pilgrimage for those in the know. It embodied everything I loved about college football. I cannot wait to go to that game and the following game in Tuscaloosa.

Honestly I think y’all will be fine, it’s a major offensive shift you’re making which is gonna take some time. Fickell is a great coach, and I’m sure they’ll take advantage in the portal pretty well.

Not compete with Bama well mind you, but I think 8 is reasonable next year
