Coaches Radio Shows
One of the great ways to keep up
with the Badger head coaches is to
catch them at their weekly radio
shows throughout the sports seasons.
These free events are held at
local restaurants in the Madison
area and give fans a chance to grab
a bite to eat, hang out with friends
and listen to (and watch) the UW
coaches discuss a variety of topics
relating to their teams or sports.
Hosted by Badger radio personalities like Matt Lepay and Mike
Lucas (above), the weekly radio
shows give UW fans a close-up look
at their favorite sports.
Bucky's Buddies Kids' Club
The UW Marching Band performs at its annual concert held at the
Kohl Center during the 2012-13 season.
More than 12,000 kids, age 12 and

the Bucky's Buddies Kids Club.
