Legacy in Limbo: Badger DB Heads for the Portal
Remington Moss, a safety fresh off a state championship run at St. Michael’s, is activating his four remaining years of eligibility by entering the college football transfer portal. A highly recruited defensive back once pursued by Wisconsin under coaches Jim Leonhard and later Luke Fickell, Moss originally chose the Badgers inspired by family history—his cousin Brent Moss starred in Madison in the early ’90s. Despite Wisconsin’s defensive pedigree, Remington seeks a fresh start elsewhere. His departure follows wide receiver Kyan Berry-Johnson’s move, highlighting an early wave of attrition as the portal opens January 2–16, 2026.
In a stunning display of familial loyalty gone awry, Moss reads like the kid at Thanksgiving who busts out his eye roll the moment grandma starts bragging. One minute you’re celebrating your cousin’s Rose Bowl MVP from 1994, the next you’re updating your social status to “It’s not you, Wisconsin—it’s me.” Please pass the stuffing, but hold the commitment. If this keeps up, Wisconsin’s family tree will look more like a game of musical chairs—everyone’s scrambling, and no one’s staying put.
Panther Panic: Badgers Swap Pitt for Eastern Michigan
Wisconsin and Pittsburgh have mutually agreed to cancel their September 19, 2026 matchup at Camp Randall Stadium. In its place, the Badgers will host Eastern Michigan, aligning with the ACC’s move to a “9+1” scheduling model that boosts strength-of-schedule games. Pittsburgh still meets Wisconsin in the 2027 Aer Lingus Classic in Dublin. Meanwhile, the Badgers kick off 2026 at Lambeau Field vs. Notre Dame, then welcome Western Illinois and Eastern Michigan before diving into Big Ten play against a slate that includes Michigan State, Rutgers, Minnesota, USC, Iowa, Maryland, Penn State, Purdue, and UCLA.
Because nothing screams “college football excitement” like a last-minute opponent swap, Wisconsin fans can now look forward to tailgating with a side of Mid-American Conference mediocrity. Why face a Power 4 team when you can host a squad fresh off a 4–8 season? It’s like trading a brisket for a hot dog—sure, the hot dog’s fun, but you miss out on the chew. At least the schedule alignment keeps everyone equally confused about why we’re calling it a “Power 4” season anyway.
