Wisconsin vs Alabama football score, live game updates, start time, odds, news, schedules

The Wisconsin Badgers conclude their non-conference schedule today with as big of a matchup as they come in college football.

The 2-0 Badgers play host to 18-time national champion Alabama in a Big Ten-SEC showdown at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m.

It’s the first game in a home-and-home series between the Badgers and Crimson Tide with the return contest next year in Alabama. Wisconsin is coming off a 27-13 win over South Dakota, a team in the Football Championship Subdivision. Now, the Badgers will move up a weight class and then some when fourth-ranked Alabama and Heisman Trophy candidate Jalen Milroe comes to town.

The perennial power looks different this season. For the first time in 18 years, Nick Saban isn’t on the sidelines as the head coach. Saban, who won six national titles with Alabama, retired after last season, ending his legendary career. Kalen DeBoer, who led Washington to the College Football Playoff in 2023, has taken over in Tuscaloosa.

DeBoer has the Tide off and running, though it’s also been a work in progress. After a 63-0 victory in Week 1, Alabama struggled for three quarters against South Florida before pulling away in a 42-16 win last week.

After scratching out wins in tougher-than-expected games the first two weeks, Luke Fickell’s Badgers are a big underdog against Alabama. Can Wisconsin pull off the upset?

New Alabama women’s basketball coach Pauline Love credits late mentor for coaching career

New Alabama women’s basketball coach Pauline Love credits late mentor for coaching career

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WBRC) – Pauline Love, the new head coach of the Alabama women’s basketball team, says her late college coach, Joye Lee-McNelis, is the reason she got into coaching.

Love played for Lee-McNelis at Southern Miss, describing her as a second mother. Lee-McNelis passed away last summer after a long battle with breast cancer.

A relationship that changed her path

Love said she once told Lee-McNelis she would never go into coaching, a conversation the two laughed about often.

“I used to tell her all the time, I would never do this. I would never put up with somebody like me or I would never work for somebody like her. I was like coach, you’re crazy. We used to laugh about it all the time and she was like you’ll see one day, you’ll see,” Love said.

Love had planned to work in the tech industry. Instead, she has spent 15 years in coaching.

“She pretty much paved the way for me. There’s no way I’d be sitting here if it wasn’t for her,” Love said.

High expectations at Alabama

Love returns to Tuscaloosa after previously serving as an assistant at Alabama. She was introduced as head coach in April, and was brought to tears when she mentioned Lee-McNelis during that introduction.

Her goals for the program are clear.

“I’m going to have a passion about it. I want to bring a Final Four to the University of Alabama and make Tuscaloosa proud,” Love said.

This year’s roster includes Spring Garden’s Ace Austin, back for her sophomore season.

Love said she wants her players to know that difficult times are part of the process.

“I can say for them, I’ve been there. I’ve done it. Just learn how to figure out and fight through hard things. You gotta do something hard and fight through it and I promise you it’s rewarding at the end of it,” Love said.

Love said she also wants to be a source of support for her players off the court, the same way Lee-McNelis was for her.

“I know we always get caught up in the money part of it, but I got a group of girls that doesn’t care about that. They want to care about making the fans happy and giving them something good to watch,” Love said.

Alabama football fans invited to pep rally at River Market

Alabama football fans are invited to a preseason pep rally Aug. 4 at the Tuscaloosa River Market.

The pep rally is part of the annual fall kickoff event hosted by the Tuscaloosa County chapter of the University of Alabama National Alumni Association.

The family friendly event will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the River Market, 1900 Jack Warner Parkway. Tickets, which include a barbecue dinner, cost $30 for adults and $15 for children ages 8 to 12. Children 7 years old and younger will be admitted for free.

The pep rally will feature live entertainment, a silent auction and a range of family-friendly activities. There will also be a cash bar with wine and beer.

Tickets can be purchased on the chapter’s website, tuscaloosacountyuaalumni.com. Membership in the local alumni chapter is not required for attendance.

University of Alabama President Peter Mohler and UA baseball coach Rob Vaughn will be part of the festivities.

Mohler began his duties as UA president on July 21, 2025.

Before being named UA president, Mohler spent nearly 15 years at Ohio State University, where he held senior leadership roles overseeing research, innovation and economic development. He also served as OSU’s acting president, providing leadership during a pivotal period for one of the nation’s largest public universities.

Mohler earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from Wake Forest University and a PhD in cell and molecular physiology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Duke University Medical Center before joining the faculty at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Vaughn has been UA’s head baseball coach for three years, leading the Crimson Tide to the College Baseball World Series in 2026.

The Humble, Texas, native served as head baseball coach at Maryland for five seasons before coming to Tuscaloosa.

Vaughn played collegiate baseball at Kansas State, where his position was catcher.

Alabama begins the 2026 football season on Sept. 5 with a home game against the East Carolina Pirates. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Other Alabama home games include Florida State on Sept. 19, South Carolina on Sept. 26, Georgia on Oct. 10, Texas A&M on Oct. 24, Chattanooga on Nov. 21 and Auburn on Nov. 28.
