Wisconsin/Alabama

Scheduled for a 1 for 1 in Madison and Tuscaloosa in 2024 and 2025. 

Wisconsin seems to always get great schedules. Any big Husker schedule news coming?

The Huskers already have their "big" non-conference game scheduled every year through 2031.

So I doubt any news is coming any time soon.

Yeah, the Badgers were well known for lame schedules...It was sort of their blueprint.

This is very true. i think it was the Lambeau game that makes it seem so memorable.

At least Bama is finally playing a team up north at a real home site.

Only because it's still pretty warm, if it was November there wouldn't be a chance they'd come up to Wisconsin

True. They might lose recruits over such a bad scheduling decision.

Yea, heaven forbid they miss their rivalry game with Western Carolina

Okay but why would any P5 school be playing an out of conference away game several hundred miles away in November?

Improve their strength of schedule, or honestly just to shut everyone up that points out how ridiculous their OOC schedule is year after year. But mostly, I just hate how the SEC acts high and mighty but never have to deal with how much true cold weather affects your game. I feel like they dont understand how you have to be able to adjust to the cold. You know the kind of weather that when the old timers go outside they say "Now this is football weather".

The cold is definitely the worst and most brutal one, but there are lots of other things that are also legitimate that players have to adjust to that can really impact your game or performance. Playing in elevation in Colorado. Playing in early September southern humidity. If I was an SEC school I wouldn't want to play in conditions that favor the other team more than mine either.

Glad to see Alabama actually schedule a true road game.  I think the last one was at Penn State right?  I think it was 2011...the same year as the Paterno scandal breaking loose and Nebraska going up there and being their first game without JoePa being the coach aka the Lavonte David big time tackle game.
