Bucky Badger Is Going to Be One Sore Badger Tonight

The Wisconsin Badgers defeated Indiana, 83-20 at Madison.
Every time Bucky scores, the mascot Bucky has to do push ups equal to the Badgers point total. On Saturday, Bucky had to do 573 push ups. There is going to be one sore Badger tonight. He probably worked harder than the football team.
From ESPN: Lynch didn't believe Wisconsin tried to run up the score, something former Minnesota coach Tim Brewster accused Bret Bielema of earlier this season. "I've always felt it was our job to stop the team and play the game," Lynch said. "We didn't do that very well."
Wisconsin beat FCS-member Austin Peay 70-3 this season, but this performance was much more impressive.
To put it in perspective, Wisconsin's men's basketball team failed to score 83 points in 30 of its 34 games last season, while the school's mascot Bucky did 573 push-ups over the course of the game.
