Overview

Taking a decade-by-decade approach to the University of Wisconsin football tradition, this collection brings together over 40 stories from the most outstanding voices of the program. The spirit of Badger football is not captured by just one phrase, one season, or one particular game; instead, the student-athletes and coaches who made the magic happen over six decades blend their experiences to capture the true essence of their beloved school. From Pat Richter looking back on a career that included one of history’s greatest Rose Bowls and Al Toon talking about playing for Dave McClain, to Joe Rudolph remembering the rebirth of UW football under Barry Alvarez and Brett Bielema sharing his passion for coaching, Wisconsin fans will relish the intimate stories told by the figures they have come to cherish.
