University of Wisconsin Football (Images of Sports Series)

From their humble beginnings as an intramural club in 1889 to Rose Bowl champions in 1994, 1999, and 2000, the Wisconsin Badgers have risen among the ranks of college football to become one of the elite teams in the nation. The University of Wisconsin football program can claim 11 conference championships, 16 bowl game appearances (8-8 record), and 7 National College Football Hall of Famers. The legendary names of Pat O'Dea, Alan Ameche, and Ron Dayne may span decades, but they are timelessly united in meaning to generations of the Badger faithful. Great coaches like Phillip King, "Ivy" Williamson, and Barry Alvarez likewise share a winning tradition that dates back more than 100 years. Each season Wisconsin football fans return to fill the seats—all 80,000 plus—at Camp Randall stadium to witness more history in the making.

The heart of any true Badger fan remains forever in Madison, Wisconsin. And so it is for Dave Anderson, a University of Wisconsin alumnus whose passion for Badger gridiron history, and whose recollections of many a Saturday afternoon spent at Camp Randall, come through on every page of University of Wisconsin Football. Generously illustrated from the collection at the University of Wisconsin Archives, this book is sure to please any Badger.
