For the first time since 2010, the football teams for the University of Iowa and the University of Wisconsin will take the field to determine whether Mr. Torvik (Wisconsin) or I (Iowa) is the superior blogger. Or maybe they play for the Heartland Trophy. According to Wikipedia, the teams have played 86 games. Two of the 86 games ended in a tie and Iowa and Wisconsin have each won 42 of the other 84 games. As a result, one team will leave having made their team a winner in this year's rivalry game and also in the all-time rivalry. Whether either coach is using this tidbit as a motivational tool is unknown.
Go Badgers!
