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.

Strength equipment is expensive and guarantees you nothing.  A strong will is free and can give you everything you want.

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?

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.

I mean he has a point. At what point does Neb say enough is enough and that Pelini can't bring them to the next level again. This year's B1G is literally the worst I've seen a major conference not named Big East, and then this happens? The Neb fans know how fortunate they are to even be in the CG. It's not like Pelini is in his first four years after all.

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. 

Go Blue!  Always!

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.
