BOLD TRADITION: Wisconsin Badgers Documentary CELEBRATES Bucky Badger’s Journey!

Bucky Badger’s journey from humble mascot to enduring Wisconsin icon captivates fans both young and old. Discover the origin story of the Wisconsin Badgers’ beloved mascot, how miners’ “badger-like” habits led to the state’s nickname, and why Bucky’s mischievous, hardworking personality mirrors the spirit of Wisconsin itself. Did you know “Buckingham U. Badger” was named with “U” meaning “you”—making him a symbol for everyone throughout the Badger State? Ryan Harings and Grant Fenster, writer and producer at PBS Wisconsin, explore the making of a behind-the-scenes documentary charting Bucky’s history—from live mascots on the football field to modern-day headstands at Camp Randall Stadium. Hear untold stories from former Buckys, the cultural impact at children’s hospitals, and the near-miss moment when Wisconsin almost switched mascots to a cow. Celebrate what makes Wisconsin Badgers fandom truly unique and why everyone can call themselves a Badger at heart.
