Wisconsin
Wrestling Preview: Wisconsin at Iowa
This will just be a quickie and no, I haven’t lost my mind: the No. 22 Wisconsin Badgers (9-5, 3-4 B1G) have a realistic chance to beat the No. 3 Iowa Hawkeyes (10-2, 5-2 B1G) when they meet at 1 PM on Sunday, Feb 18.
The dual meet will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network, and on X.
Regardless of that earth-shattering possibility (winning at Iowa), there will be a few humongous individual matchups, in order of huge-ness:
125: No. 3 Eric Barnett (21-4) vs No. 5 Drake Ayala (18-3). Both are likely All-Americans and in the conversation for national champion.
165: No. 5 Dean Hamiti (22-1) vs No. 7 Mikey Caliendo (18-2). Another likely All-American matchup. DJ just plays with the guys ranked below 10 or so. Will he play one of the aces up his sleeve that head coach Chris Bono has hinted at in order to win this one?
174: No. 12 Max Maylor (15-4) vs No. 7 Patrick Kennedy (10-4). Max prevailing here would be a statement win, putting him squarely in the AA conversation.
149: No. 19 Joe Zargo (17-5) vs No. 8 Caleb Rathjen (14-3). After a very nice-looking ranked win vs No. 16 on Friday, I think Joey has a real chance here, too.
184: No. 16 Shane Liegel (18-7) vs No. 56 Aiden Riggens (10-11). Opponent’s been up against really tough competition; despite his record, he’s no fish (i.e. someone who flops around). Shane’s Cinderella story should continue.
133: No. 54 Nico Rivera (12-8) vs No. 20 Cullan Schriever (8-3). Nico’s been close, this is a winnable match, and he needs a couple more wins over NCAA qualifiers to get in himself.
If Wisconsin wins all these matchups (not terribly likely, especially on Senior Day at Iowa, but very much within the realm of reality when looking at them match-by-match), the Badgers will win a dual meet vs Iowa for the first time in 12 years.

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.
