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.

So apparently the crappy Nebraska defense was just one week late in arriving.

What a depressing game to watch - UM might not be as talented as all hoped, but no way they lose by 40+ to Wiscy.

Q) When did it become fashionable for the color guy to call the announcer "Partner"?  I believe that it may date back to Griese Sr. referring to Keith Jackson as "partner"....now though it is cliche, overused and annoying.

Wisconsin that the over under is for both teams scores. Wow. This is a whipping of _______ proportions! (I could not come up with a suitable adjective–biblical didn't seem to capture it)

Did anyone watch Wisconsin earlier in the season?  Northern Iowa was driving in the final minute for the winning score when they turned the ball over and lost 26-21. 

A few weeks later, Utah State missed a chip shot 24 yard field goal in the final seconds to lose 16-14. 

Wisconsin SHOULD be going to the Rose Bowl with a losing record.
