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.

Are you watching Al? You can do Mannball with some creativity.

I know a little off topic here, but there's no ACC game thread. James Wilder is a stud. That kid has some amazing skills. He is big, strong, tall, and fast. That kid is a physical specimen.
December 1st, 2012 at 9:56 PM ^
Seriously. Why couldn't we have played this Nebraska team?

Definitely weeping for humanity. I was raised by a SNES and RPGs, so the current barrage of war hero games just pisses me off.

Part of me really enjoys the karma that Nebraska is recieving. Part of me though wonders whether I'd really want to play A&M over Georgia in the bowl game...

Wisconsin has outgained Nebraska 391 yards to 224 yards, and Wisconsin has 18 1st downs to Nebraska's 7 1st downs. It is important to note that 290 of Wisconsin's yards are rushing yards, and indeed, why not run the ball when your opponent has established a casual, decidedly passive approach to run defense?

Bo
meet hot seat. Hot seat, meet Bo.
This is embarrassing. I’ve been nothing but a Bo supporter since he’s been here, but the writing is on the wall. Are we that lacking in talent? Are we so slow that WISCONSIN is beating us to the edge on every fucking toss sweep that they run? At the end of the day, this comes down to coaching/recruiting , and this looks like a train-wreck. Never thought I’d see another Husker team that reminded me of the Callahan years, but it’s on display tonight. If they fired Bo tomorrow morning, I can’t say I would disagree.

He waits until the B1G title game to turn on Bo?

I don't think Nebraska will get back in this one. Unless the refs and Beilema go full on pro-Husker and let it happen
December 1st, 2012 at 10:10 PM ^
Cot damn Erin Andrews is so sexy.
December 1st, 2012 at 10:14 PM ^
...not really.
December 1st, 2012 at 10:18 PM ^
This is Cot, I agree.

I'm no fan of Wisconsin and Bielema. But I'm enjoying this.
Nebraska is a 7-5 team that went 10-2 thanks to gift wrapped victories from the officials and a night opponent losing their senior quarterback early in the 2nd quarter. (And even after Denard went out, the refs fucked things up. Apparently in Lincoln, you can roll over the football on the ground and if it goes back up in the air, it's not dead and can be intercepted.)
This is karma and the Huskers deserve it ten fold.
And now Wisconsin will be the first Big Ten team, at least in the last 50 years, to go to the Rose Bowl unranked and without a winning record in conference during the regular season.

Just got home from a nice day out. Time to crack open a beer and turn on the B1G Champ-WHATTHEFUCKISGOINGON?!?!?!?!
In all seriousness though, I just got home. What happened?

A few goofy plays (pick six, QB receiving TD), but mostly Nebraska can't handle Wisconsin's MANBALL

Wisconsin's offense has done a good job of mixing up plays. Ball has done a marvelous job running to the outside.
Their defense has only lined up two players on third down with four players flashing blitz. This has confused Nebraska's offense.
Brilliant game plan by Wisconsin's coaches and executed to perfection by the players.

Glen Mason's wife is hot, and she seems to have a thing for Bo Pelinni, but that might be ending now.

sIs Nebraska going to recruit this Dr. Pepper kid to play quarterback the second half?

Wow Bradley just kicked some butt. That was rather impressive actually. Made his first ten or something like that.
Also the commentary was painfully awkward.
December 1st, 2012 at 10:15 PM ^
The SEC boy made 20. It must be something in the water.

Usually I complain about Bielema running it up against inferior teams, but not today. Let 'er rip, ya meathead!

Whoo Hoo! Dr Pepper Halftime football toss into giant cans of soda pop in front of a bunch empty seats.
And Dave Brandon was willing to give up Michigan - Ohio State on the last weekend of the regular season for this?

CBS projecting a rematch against Miss St in the Gator Bowl
December 1st, 2012 at 10:21 PM ^
Should be ok because its not the same Mississippi State or the same Michigan from 3 years ago. However, it will be unbearable because of all the Gator Bowl flash backs we'll have to endure for the weeks leading up to the game and during the game
December 1st, 2012 at 10:21 PM ^
You know, I'd really like us in that match. They've beaten no one this year and didn't keep it at all close against a single ranked team.
