Cal Football announces home and home series with Wisconsin
Bears versus Badgers
Cal Football’s non conference schedule in the latter part of the decade is starting to round into form. It was announced earlier today that the Golden Bears will be taking on the Wisconsin Badgers in the 2029 and 2030 seasons respectively.
The first matchup to take place will be Sept. 1, 2029 at California Memorial Stadium. During the 2030 season, Cal will make the return trip to Camp Randall on Aug. 31, 2030. One of the biggest connections between the programs is with HC Justin Wilcox, who served as Wisconsin’s defensive coordinator during the 2016 season.
2029’s schedule is coming together, with the home game against the Badgers followed up by a road tilt at altitude against the Wyoming Cowboys. No other non conference matchups for that season have been announced yet.
Cal fans, are you ready to head to Madison and Jump Around?
Looks like the theme for the late part of this decade will be visiting wheat-belt tundra-towns in Minnesota, Wyoming, and Wisconsin. If we schedule one of the Dakotas, I think I read somewhere that we all win a free bucket of whey for connecting four states across in consecutive years. See y'all in Madison. Skol!
Why? Won't the Bears be traveling enough just playing conference games in the ACC? If they want to schedule non-conference games against power-5 (4?) opponents, why don't they play any of their former Pac-12 rivals (except for the LA schools, because, F them)?
