The Wisconsin football team is struggling this season, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there are things we can’t be thankful for during the Holiday season.

The Wisconsin football team had a dramatic triple-overtime, come from behind victory over the Purdue Boilermakers last Sunday. With Wisconsin trailing by 14 points in the fourth quarter, it looked as if they had hit their low point of an already low 2018 season. Fortunately, Jonathan Taylor and co. came storming back and the Badgers were able to win in overtime.

As Taylor was running into the end zone for the third time to end the game, Badgers’ fans everywhere should’ve stopped and taken a breath. Even though the season has been full of disappointments, it doesn’t mean we can’t respect and be thankful for what has happened in 2018.

For the sake of getting all sappy, Dairyland Express is launching a series which shares five reasons why we are thankful this Holiday season. It’s a series that will cover the five major teams (Wisconsin football, Wisconsin basketball, Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks) we write about on the site.

Although the Wisconsin football program has been on the side of the most disappointing, they still have a lot of good things going for them. So without further ado, here are five reasons we can be thankful for the Badgers in 2018.
