November 2, 1901 - An article in the Omaha Daily Bee records the first meeting of the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Wisconsin Badgers.

The game was placed in Milwaukee and the Huskers didn’t score a single point. Wisconsin won by 19.

The two teams wouldn’t meet again until 1965 where Lincoln would win a home game. The Huskers also won their most recent game against Wisconsin in November 2024.
