Wisconsin Football: Early Impressions on the 2024 Schedule
The off-season is in full swing for Wisconsin football, but the team will gather back in early August for the beginning of fall camp and the 2024 season. The schedule is much different with the additions of Washington, USC, UCLA, and Oregon to the Big Ten. The 2024 schedule will be harder as well. Here are my initial thoughts on the 2024 Wisconsin football schedule.
Wisconsin Football Road Schedule Seems Manageable
For how tough the Wisconsin football schedule will be, I think their road schedule is doable. The Badgers will travel to USC, Rutgers, Northwestern (game at Lambeau Field), Iowa, and Nebraska.
I think Iowa and Nebraska are the hardest road games. Despite that, Wisconsin can absolutely go into Iowa City and Lincoln and win those games. The road environments are hard, but Wisconsin might be more talented than both those rosters.
It’s hard traveling across the country, but USC always has a poor home crowd. Rutgers won’t blow you away either. The Northwestern game will essentially be a home game.
Wisconsin Football Could Struggle at Home
The home schedule is a gauntlet. Wisconsin football opens up with three home games. The first two will be non-conference games against Western Michigan and South Dakota. A highly anticipated match-up with Alabama follows these tuneups. I can’t see Wisconsin football beating Alabama.
Other home games include Purdue, Penn State, Oregon, and Minnesota. The games against Penn State and Oregon will be very difficult. However, between Alabama, Penn State, and Oregon, the Badgers will win at least one of those games. If I had to guess, they will beat Penn State.
Purdue is still rebuilding and I don’t see Wisconsin football having issues with the Boilermakers. Minnesota has had recent success at Camp Randall, but the Badgers roster is just better overall.
The Badgers Will Win More Than Six Games
The over-under on wins recently came out for the Big Ten. Currently, Wisconsin football has an over-under of 6.5 wins. I can see where that number comes from as there are no guaranteed wins in the Big Ten.
The more I think about it, I’m pretty confident right now the Badgers wins more than six games. Besides Oregon and Alabama, the Badgers won’t be big underdogs in any of their games.
I look at games against Nebraska, Iowa, and Penn State as a 50/50 split. They could win all three. They could easily lose all three games. If I had to guess right now, I think Wisconsin football wins seven games, but would not be surprised if they won six or eight games.

How to milk a cow as seen at the Wisconsin State Fair
There’s more to milking a cow than you might think. In this archived video at the Wisconsin State Fair, a Journal Sentinel reporter gave it a try.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel files
Wisconsin Republicans had a field day when the state Democratic Party celebrated the start of National Dairy Month with a post featuring male cattle that don’t produce milk.
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin initially posted a “Happy Dairy Month” graphic on Facebook, Instagram and X showing two brown and white cattle with horns and no visible udders.
The party later posted a corrected version, featuring two black-and-white spotted Holstein cows. T-bone steaks with halos and wings floated above them – presumably, where the male cattle had gone.
“We regret that our Dairy Month tweet contained an error. We have ‘taken care’ of the issue, if you catch our drift,” the party wrote June 1.
Side note: Many dairy cattle, including females, naturally have horns. In most cases, they’re removed to prevent injuries to farmers and cattle themselves. But udders are visible only on female cattle, a.k.a. cows.
Tom Tiffany, the leading Republican candidate for governor, jumped on the mistake, posting a video touting his experience growing up on a Wisconsin dairy farm.
Tiffany and other Republicans also criticized Democrats for celebrating the start of Pride Month, which recognizes LGBTQ+ communities and begins June 1 alongside National Dairy Month.
“I regret to inform [Wisconsin Democrats] that you cannot milk a bull. But considering they think men can get pregnant, I guess thinking you can milk a bull tracks too,” Tiffany wrote on X.
Tiffany also said June 1 that, if elected governor, he would no longer fly the Pride flag over the state Capitol in June – a practice started by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in 2019.
Evers also celebrated June Dairy Month with a video message, in part criticizing President Donald Trump’s tariff policies and cuts to federal programs supporting farmers.
Wisconsin is home to about 5,000 dairy farms – more than any other state – and has about 1.27 million cows. National Dairy Month originally started in 1937 as National Milk Month.
