Follow the Badgers all week as they prepare for the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic
DALLAS — It's Wednesday — Day 2 — here in Texas and the Wisconsin football team has a busy day of practice this morning at AT&T Stadium and additional activities in preparation for the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.
And in case you missed it, the Badgers capped off a great Tuesday with a trip to see the NBA's Dallas Mavericks play the Houston Rockets, featuring two former Badgers — Sam Dekker and Devin Harris. Wisconsin also earned it's first win of the week against Western Michigan in a can't-miss dance battle at midcourt! Revisit Tuesday's Cotton Bowl Countdown here for all of the action.
