Big Ten Championship Game Open Thread
Nebraska-Wisconsin. 8:00PM EST on FOX. Gus Johnson and Charles Davis are calling the game.
Various sources have the line in favor of Nebraska by 3. If Nebraska wins, Michigan is all but assured the Capital One Citrus Bowl against A&M (likely) or Georgia, while the conversation is a bit more complicated if Wisconsin wins.

It looks like we're eliminated from the Cap One Bowl by selection rules, they're going to have to take Nebraska.

I was at that 2010 game. That just hurt. Very badly. I don't like thinking about those days.

I'll make you happy again: That was the last time we lost at home.
December 1st, 2012 at 9:47 PM ^
This is comical
December 1st, 2012 at 9:47 PM ^
I loved to watch the Pac 12 Championship as a home game for Stanford. Let's please do this for our Championship Game as well.
Meanwhile LOL what a run.
December 1st, 2012 at 9:47 PM ^
pffff

WAAHOOWW!! - Gus.

Yay! The blackshirts put on a tackling exhibition!
December 1st, 2012 at 9:48 PM ^
The most frustrating part about watching this game is I feel like we should beat both teams on a neutral site. I know we haven't played well away from home, but this was a golden opportunity at a B1G championship.

Raise your hand if you saw this coming
December 1st, 2012 at 9:50 PM ^
I had a feeling Wiscy would win, not like this though, not like this. BAM.

I predict less participation and more F-bombs....and no follow up to the promise for photos of the completed sandwiches.
Runza Sandwiches (before cooking)
Filling.
Rising.
I’ll post finished sandwiches at halftime.

Wow... unbelievable. Not sure which is worst the attendance or Nebraska.
December 1st, 2012 at 9:52 PM ^
I expected more Nebraska attendance. They must have somehow known.
December 1st, 2012 at 9:49 PM ^
That's the kind of touchdown pass MANBALL gets you... On Wisconsin, lol.

DeBord, of all people, did it in the 2008 Cap One Bowl against Florida.
December 1st, 2012 at 9:57 PM ^
Why do coaches wait to unveil this stuff?
I can understand wanting to use these plays in a big game but Michigan normally doesn't "open up the playbook" on the big stage.
The runs up the middle against OSU is one classic example. So many times to count though in games that mattered, Michigan didn't have plays that were meant to throw off the opposition.
December 1st, 2012 at 10:05 PM ^
I saw at least 4 great plays that Wiscy ran that were an effective way to "run up the middle" without just handing off to the RB. It can be done.
December 1st, 2012 at 9:50 PM ^
This is reminiscent of W.Virginia/Clemson last year. If K-State can come back and beat Texas this gives N.Illinois a shot at the Orange Bowl.
December 1st, 2012 at 9:51 PM ^
December 1st, 2012 at 9:50 PM ^
Pelini looked surprisingly peaceful after that Touchdown

Only the BiG would send an 8-5 team to the Rose Bowl this season.
December 1st, 2012 at 9:51 PM ^
Nebraska is always going to get gashed by a good run game. Hell, if we had even had a medicore run game (minus Denard) we would've rolled them this year.
December 1st, 2012 at 9:51 PM ^
Hey guys, I think I spotted a stuffed animal beaver on Nebraska's sideline.
December 1st, 2012 at 9:58 PM ^
December 1st, 2012 at 9:51 PM ^
Wow. Just...wow
December 1st, 2012 at 9:51 PM ^
so... are we playing Les? That would be, uh, interesting

it's time to put sheridan in the rearview
and celebrate the 15th anniversary of the 1998 national championship
December 1st, 2012 at 9:52 PM ^
cornnation comment:
I think Wisconsin could gain 8 in the victory formation.
Insert witty retort here.

The only thing that has stopped Wisconsin so far is halftime.
