MADISON, WI –
With opening day of the 2013 college football season fast approaching, the
football team at the University of Wisconsin - Madison
has their sights set on making it to and then losing this year's Rose Bowl for
the fourth straight time. The Badgers made NCAA history last year by losing
their third consecutive Rose Bowl to Stanford 20-14. The team also lost to Oregon 45-38 in 2012 and
TCU 21-19 in 2011. "We thought we weren't going to even have a chance to
lose last year," said 2012 team captain and leading rusher Montee Ball.
"We really didn't have that great of a season, but because Penn State and
Ohio State were both ineligible, we were able to win the Big Ten Leaders
division and then thankfully crush Nebraska in the Big Ten Championship game,
giving us our shot at 0-3." Wisconsin was
riding high after that win over Nebraska,
however, and looked as though they could make it 1-2. “I just couldn’t let that
happen,” said former coach Bret Bielema who deserted the team just a couple
weeks prior to the big game, ensuring the team would get their third “L.”
Athletic Director Barry Alvarez almost screwed up the team’s losing dreams with
his experience and heart, but thankfully the Stanford defense was too much to
handle. New coach Gary Andersen knows he has some big shoes to fill this year
but is “very excited to march this team all the way to the Rose Bowl and lose so we can prove, once again, that we're still better than the rest of the Big Ten.”
