Wisconsin football season begins... so does Russell Wilson mania

It's time to get the Wisconsin Badgers football season underway. The Badgers landed Russell Wilson, a highly coveted quarterback from N.C. State with one year of eligibility remaining. The hype is really something else.  

We start with the first practice of the season.
