The University of Wisconsin football team arrived in Miami on Sunday, six days before its first-ever appearance in the Orange Bowl.
Before the sixth-ranked Badgers take on No. 10 Miami at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, the State Journal sat down with Orange Bowl executive committee member Brad Houser to discuss UW’s traveling fan base, Miami’s home-field advantage and more.
WSJ: Is that always exciting, to have a first-time team in this game?
BH: Yeah, especially a team the caliber of Wisconsin. We’ve had our eye on Wisconsin for a number of years.
