UW coach Bret Bielema let it slip recently while talking to UW students that the Badgers would have two home night games this season against Ohio State (Oct. 4) and Penn State (Oct. 11).
 When asked about it Tuesday night, Bielema could not confirm it.
 "There will be an official release from our athletic communications," he said. "I know we've had some preliminary talks, but I haven't got any official word. It hasn't crossed my desk."
 As Bielema noted, if networks choose to schedule night games, they can do so at this point without any needed approval from the schools or coaches. It's only when games get moved closer to the season that coaches can block it.
 "Any time we have a night game in Camp Randall, is something that can be a positive," Bielema said. "The networks have agreed with us in the past. The way the rules are, if there's a request by ESPN, ABC, CBS, whatever it is, if they come to terms and make a decision this early, no school can deny (it)."
