It’s happening, folks! It’s all coming together! You can see a live look at my reaction to this great news below.
As I’ve said since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, schools opening up is the first step towards getting football back.
Most of the SEC has already dived right into returning for the football season, and it now looks like the Badgers will do the same.
Of course it’s Wisconsin leading the way in this fight in the B1G. As King in the North, I couldn’t be prouder.

Yes, we have to be safe about opening up campuses, but we also have to live our lives. Having football is a huge part of that equation.
We’ve taken a huge step forward, and I can’t wait to see what happens next. Now, let’s go win some football games!
Health experts: college football might be canceled this season because of coronavirus.
