The University of Wisconsin football Badgers became bowl eligible November 15 with their comeback win over border rival Minnesota.
But a tough economy coupled with a disappointing season â?? which ended Saturday with a close overtime win over the non-conference Cal Poly Mustangs â?? likely means that less Badger fans will travel to see the Badgers’ bowl appearance.
The UW Alumni Association acknowledges that fewer fans are expected to go bowling with Bucky. “I think we all have to recognize that the economy has certainly slowed things down,” said Paula Bonner, president of the UW Alumni Association.
