Wisconsin Badgers football is represented by the University of Wisconsin–Madison in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision and the Big Ten Conference.Wisconsin Badgers football team certainly knows a thing or two about doing well in the competitive Big Ten Conference. During the 2010 season, the Badgers finished in a three-way tied for the Big Ten Championship with Ohio State and Michigan State, heading on to the Rose Bowl. The Badgers will be looking for similar success for the 2011 season.
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.
