With the Badgers (10-3) preparing for another Rose Bowl — this one against Oregon (11-2) — Alvarez dismissed the notion the game has lost meaning since the institution of the College Football Playoff.

The University of Wisconsin’s Dana Rettke and Sydney Hilley were named first-team All-America by the American Volleyball Coaches Association on Wednesday.

The project calls for loge boxes, club seats, access to indoor hospitality and outdoor terraces. There are plans for climate-controlled amenities, and there will be premium food and beverage offerings.

The Rose Bowl has allocated the University of Wisconsin Athletics Department with 22,000 tickets and employees say they’ve already sold 17,000.

Coming off decisive victories over Illinois State and UCLA in the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament last weekend, Wisconsin, the fourth seed, faces 13th seeded Texas A&M at 1 p.m. Friday. The winner of that match will face, on Saturday, the winner of the 3:30 p.m. Nebraska/Hawai’i tilt for a trip to the Final Four next week in Pittsburgh.

It’s all worth it to Krabbenhoft and Tucker, who seem to thoroughly enjoy their time on the scout team that goes against UW’s rotation players in practice. Not only does it help fill a competitive void for two of the more cutthroat players in program history, Krabbenhoft and Tucker see it as a great, on-court teaching mechanism as they try to get the Badgers ready for the next game.

The message from the university is: don’t wait. UW-Madison expects tickets and travel packages to sell out very fast, possibly within the week.

The offer boasts, “Do more than watch the bowl: live the experience.”

UW stayed at No. 8 in the final College Football Playoff rankings, good enough to earn the Big Ten’s bid to the Rose Bowl, where the team will take on No. 6 Oregon. The game is a rematch of the 2012 Rose Bowl, when the Russell Wilson-led Badgers fell to the Ducks 45-38.

“There is a second chance, and if you do get that second chance, you’ve got to take it and run with it,” Bono said.

Noted: UW took notice and hired Nicols to be the Badgers’ official DJ in 2018-’19 for all home football and men’s basketball games. She returned again this year for the football season.

“I feel very lucky at Camp Randall to push play for ‘Jump Around’ and 80,000 people shake the stadium. That blows my mind,” she said about the Badgers’ post-third-quarter tradition. “And to get 80,000 people to sing “(Build Me Up) Buttercup”? At a football game? I get choked up. I literally get choked up.”

“Potential Rose Bowl is, like, the only thing on my mind,” University of Wisconsin-Madison senior Sadie Hersh said.

The UW-Madison Police Department gave a police escort to the Wisconsin Badgers and the team’s special cargo.

What started as an idea, flourished into a special moment that had a crowd of tens of thousands of people wiping away tears.
