Almost a half a century ago, as the Wisconsin Badgers prepared to play the Minnesota Golden Gophers in their season finale, the campus was on the verge of melting down over the Vietnam War, beloved coach Milt Bruhn was pressured out of his job two days before the game and, unlike today’s well-funded and popular squad, the team was disrespected and unloved. Somehow they overcame all of this to play one of the most memorable games in Badger history.
