The Wisconsin Badgers and Illinois Fighting Illini are planning on dusting off the snowblowers...if mother nature cooperates.
The two schools have announced that they are moving two games between the two schools to December in the 2011 and 2012 football season.
Speculations are that the reason for moving the game is too increase awareness of the schools late in the season; as opposed to not participating in games while other conferences are holding championship games. With a later schedule the two teams will be able to be seen by poll voters later in the season if either was capable of being in a BCS game situation.
Wisconsin has never hosted a game in December at Camp Randall in the stadium's history. So mark your calendars...that long trend will end December 1, 2012 against Illinois. The Badgers will head to Champaign, Ill. on December 3, 2011.
