In a statement shared on social media, Harris emphasized the team's determination to return to their historical prominence, stating, "This is a message. The Badgers are back. We’re not going to roll over. This is historically a top-dog program. We’re looking to get back to that. That’s what the fans deserve. That’s what the community deserves. That’s what we’re going to give them."
The comments section under Harris' post was a mix of support, skepticism, and humorous reactions. One commenter noted the potential for 'pasta potential' in the quote, while another expressed hope that the team can 'cash the check' written by Harris' words. Another commenter, however, was more cautious, questioning the bold claim and expressing hope that the team can live up to the hype.
Some fans took a more humorous approach, with one commenter suggesting that the team's historical success was due to a championship won over a century ago. Another commenter noted the team's recent struggles, questioning whether Harris was referring to a different era of Wisconsin football. Despite the skepticism, many fans expressed excitement and support for the team's resurgence, with one commenter stating, "I love the confidence, but man "X is back" tends to age poorly." Another commenter, however, was more optimistic, stating, "I'm so ready for Wisconsin dominance."
Overall, Harris' declaration has sparked a mix of reactions from Wisconsin fans, with some expressing skepticism and others offering enthusiastic support. As the season progresses, it remains to be seen whether the Badgers can live up to the hype and reclaim their top-dog status in college football.
