It’s been so fucking long since we won a game we weren’t supposed to win. I’m so happy.

Wisconsin won a couple big ones at the end of last season. First ranked away win since 2021 though.

But this time the offense actually helped with forward passes!

You live and die by the forward pass. This game? We did both.

u/ALARE1KS Wisconsin Badgers • Washington Huskies 20d ago

I still am unclear what a forward pass is. Is that like running the ball but off the ground?

Well at least this time, our season is not over (yet)

Don't lump us downstaters in with the Chicago crowd. We're basically cousins.

Either way you Crushed our souls last year out of nowhere.

You're generalizing a whole state population lol. I wonder if you know Frank Kaminsky is from Illinois

Ignore him lol. Illinoisans live in some Wisconsinites' head rent free because of inferiority complex

It happened twice in November 2025, it hasn’t been that long lol. I’d say most FBS teams haven’t won 2 games they shouldn’t have since November 2025

That is sort of true, though Washington was a weird case where they were a great team at home and really bad on the road last year.

u/ChromiumSulfate Wisconsin Badgers 20d ago

That was the fakest win I've ever seen. Their leading passer was the punter, wasn't it?

u/AmyKlobushart Wisconsin Badgers • Harvard Crimson 20d ago

I just checked and Washington went 3-2 on the road last year. They lost to us and a pretty good Michigan team that finished ranked. I wouldn't say that's really bad on the road, 2 road losses is pretty standard for a borderline top 25 team.

Wasn't weather involved too.
