[edit] Team name origin

The team's nickname originates in the early history of Wisconsin. In the 1820s and 1830s, prospectors came to the state looking for minerals, primarily lead. Without shelter in the winter, the miners had to "live like badgers" in tunnels burrowed into hillsides.^[2] As a result, the territory was dubbed the "Badger State," and the team took its name from that.

[edit] Team history

The history of Wisconsin football is one of highs and lows.

The first Badger football team took the field in 1889, losing the only two games it played that season. In 1890, Wisconsin earned its first victory with a 106–0 drubbing of the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater, still the most lopsided win in school history. However, the very next week the Badgers suffered what remains their most lopsided defeat, a humiliating 63–0 loss at the hands of the University of Minnesota. Since then, the Badgers and Gophers have met 120 times, making Wisconsin vs Minnesota the most-played rivalry in the Football Bowl Subdivision.^[3]

Over the course of the 1890s, the Badgers dramatically improved. Upon the formation of the Big Ten conference in 1896, Wisconsin became the first-ever conference champion with a 7–1–1 record. Over the next ten years, the Badgers won or shared the conference title three more times (1897, 1901, and 1906), and recorded their first undefeated season, going 9–0–0 (1901). With the exception of their second undefeated season in 1912, in which they won their fifth Big Ten title, the next 35 years were a period of general mediocrity for the Badgers.

1942 was an important year for Wisconsin football. On October 24, the #6 ranked Badgers defeated the #1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes at Camp Randall, catapulting Wisconsin to the #2 spot in the AP poll. Unfortunately for the Badgers, their national championship hopes were dashed by a 6–0 defeat by the Iowa Hawkeyes the following week. Nevertheless, Wisconsin won the remainder of its games, finishing the season 8–1–1, and #3 in the Associated Press poll, while garnering the Helms Athletic Foundation vote for National Champion.

The Badgers experienced great success during the 1950s, finishing in the AP Top 25 eight times that decade. In 1952, the team received its first #1 ranking by the Associated Press. That season, the Badgers again claimed the Big Ten title and earned their first trip to the Rose Bowl. There they were defeated 7–0 by the University of Southern California, and would finish the season a disappointing #11 in the AP Poll. Wisconsin returned to the Rose Bowl as Big Ten champs again in 1959, but fell to the Washington Huskies in a lopsided affair.

1962 represents another high point in the history of Wisconsin football. That season, the Badgers earned their eighth Big Ten title and faced the top-ranked USC Trojans in the Rose Bowl. Despite a narrow 42–37 defeat, the Badgers still ended the season ranked #2 in both the AP and Coaches polls (post-bowl rankings were not introduced until later in the decade).

The next decade saw Wisconsin descend to gloomy depths. The nadir occurred in the back-to-back winless seasons of 1967 and 1968. After languishing through the early 1970s, a string of seven-win seasons from 1981–84 under Dave McClain placed the Badgers in the Garden State (1981), Independence (1982), and Hall of Fame Bowls (1984). McClain's death during 1986 spring practice sent the Badgers into free fall. From 1986 to 1990, the Badgers won a total of nine games.

In 1990, Barry Alvarez became the head coach of the Badgers and, following three losing seasons (including a 1–10 campaign in his first year), Alvarez led the Badgers to their first Big Ten championship and first Rose Bowl appearance in over 30 years. On January 1, 1994 Wisconsin defeated UCLA 21–16 to claim its first Rose Bowl victory. Over his 16-year tenure as head coach, Alvarez led the Badgers to two more conference championships, eleven bowl games (going 8–3), and two more Rose Bowl victories.

Following the 2005 season, Alvarez stepped down as head coach of the Wisconsin football team and assumed the duties of athletic director. Former defensive coordinator, Bret Bielema, took over as head coach and has since led the Badgers to five consecutive bowl appearances (going 2–3). In 2010, the Badgers won a share of the Big Ten Championship and returned to the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1999, where they were defeated 21–19 by the #3 ranked Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University (TCU).
