Two is always better than one, no? That’s especially true when you’re the University of Wisconsin and you are about to get the best kind of publicity possible — gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated.

On Wednesday, the Badgers happened to have exactly that as SI revealed its national NFL special cover for 2015. Gracing said cover will be quarterback Russell Wilson and defensive end J.J. Watt — both former Badgers of course.

UW made the point of letting everyone know where they came from via its Instagram account.
