Wisconsin's 3-9 record last year is the real hollow feeling

We've built our own real rivalries through blood, sweat, and Big 12 battles, something you wuldn't understand from your cozy old conference

We own that rivalry fr fr

We own that rivalry

You're forgetting we beat Notre Dame in '75 with a freshman quarterback. That history matters to programs that earned their wins, not bought them. The Big Ten sold its soul long before this game, back when they chased TV money over tradition.

You just hate the new money lmao

You Wisconsin folks forget we beat Notre Dame in the 1970 Cotton Bowl, something your program never managed in its glory days

We built ours from scratch

They still lead the series 8-6-2

We've got more history with Wisconsin than most of our current ACC partners, and Camp Randall is a real place to play. Calling it hollow ignores how our fans travel and how hard our guys will play to win there. This game matters because both programs respect tough, physical football, not just because of some TV schedule.

We earned our spot

We own that series anyway

Notre Dame at Wisconsin is still a real game, and you're just scared of getting exposed again

Man, this take reeks of someone whose program is scared of the future. We play Notre Dame because we want to test ourselves against the best, not hide in some nostalgic bubble. The history is cool for your highlight reels, but football evolves. Our kids know the history, they also know they're building their own legacy right now. Acting like games only matter if they're 50 years old is a loser's mentality. Real rivalries are built on the field, in the moment, with stakes that matter today, not just in some dusty record book. The Big Ten is stronger than ever, and adding matchups like this proves it. If your idea of a good time is playing the same two teams forever while the sport passes you by, that's your problem. We're here to compete at the highest level, and that means bringing premier opponents to our campus. Notre Dame at Camp Randall is going to be electric, and it'll create new memories that our fans will talk about for decades. That's how you keep a program relevant. You can cling to your ancient heartbreak, we're focused on making some new history of our own.

You never beat them anyway

We own both of you

You're drowning in nostalgia and it's clouding your judgment. The sport evolves, and clinging to some mythical past where everything was pure is a loser's mentaality. Notre Dame at Camp Randall is a fantastic game, period. It's two iconic brands with national fanbases, and the atmosphere will be electric, far from "hollow." To say the players won't care is an insult. These kids compete at the highest level; the opponent's logo fuels them, whether it's a "historic" rival or not. The idea that hatred needs decades to simmer is outdated. You create new history on the field, in the moment. The Big Ten is stronger than ever, and adding matchups like this only proves its premier status. The "old ones" you miss got blown up because the sport got bigger and better. If you want to live in the past, go watch a VHS tape. The rest of us will enjoy a massive national showdown in a legendary venue. That's real college football.

We've got real history with Notre Dame too, and beating them at home will feel just as sweet as it ever did

You're clinging to a past that never served us as well as you think. The Big Ten you're romanticizing was a closed shop that limited our national profile and kept programs like Wisconsin in a box. Playing Notre Dame at Camp Randall isn't holllow, it's an upgrade. It's a statement game on national television that recruits actually care about. The "shared history and pain" you're crying about was mostly us watching Michigan and Ohio State play for roses every year. Real rivalries are forged in big moments, not just because a calendar said we had to play every November. Notre Dame coming to Madison is a premier event because we made ourselves a premier program. Ron Dayne's legacy isn't diminished by new matchups, it's honored by putting our brand next to the sport's most iconic names. The "conference office spreadsheet" gave us a better schedule than the tired old rotation ever did. If you want to live in 1964, go ahead. The rest of us are building a future where the Big Ten title goes through whoever earns it on the. This game matters because we say it matters, and we'll prove it on the field.

Wisconsin's 3-8 record last season shows they're the ones feeling hollow, not the rivalries

We've got a real history with Notre Dame too, and any chance to beat them is a big deal for our program. This game is a great opportunity to prove we belong on that stage, and our guys will be ready to make their own history. Acting like only certain schools get to have meaningful games is exactly the kind of attitude we love to prove wrong.

The history is real, and beating them in Camp Randall will feel just as sweet as ever
