Did the shoulder hit first. Yes. Did the helmets hit as well? To me they did. But I can also see the arguement net that any helmet contact was incidental to the initial hit. Either way, I still believe the hit is illegal under the current rules.

That was one hell of a block. Don't know about the penalty but he might have launched himself a bit in throwing the block and it isn't Nebraska's night.

Is this even football we're watching anymore? Can we just institute a "You hit him too hard rule"? Everything about this game is a goddamn embarassment to the Big Ten and I'm sick and tired of this garbage. We're taking Maryland and Rutgers. Rutgers for godsakes! A damn commuter school in some crap town in New Jersey. Ruining the brand to bring in more money to throw at women's gymnastics or whatever the hell they're building after a damned $50 million dollar rowing facility. Get a damn Nautilus, that's all that "sport" is anyways. I can't stand this "football" anymore. Sickening.

Big Ten might legitimately end the bowl season 0-7.
We're going to be overmatched in every game.
Minnesota and Purdue are going to get crushed by whoever they play in their bowl.
Big Ten teams are going to end up facing SEC teams in the Capitol One, Outback and Gator Bowls that all have BCS credentials.
Sports Illustrated has MSU facing TCU. That might be the only realistic shot at victory the Big Ten has this season.

Wisconsin, if it puts together another game even half this impressive, has a chance at beating Stanford. If we get matched against Mississippi State like some are projecting, why wouldn't we be the favorite? Your blanket statement is stupid.

Granted we had a high schooler at quarterback, but still... not impressive. Nebraska tackles like a bunch of drugged out hippies. This game is an absolute embarassment to the Big Ten. Damn shame the entire conference has gone to hell over the past decade.

The transitive property
The transitive property
The transitive property doesn't hold in football; Nebraska's performance tonight has no relation whatsoever to our impending bowl performance. I don't disagree that the B1G is down (especially with two of the best teams ineligible), but I do think it's less grim than you're making it out to be. Our four losses came to teams with three (THREE!) combined losses (well, 4 now I guess), and we kept it closer than a touchdown with two currently undefeated teams on the road. We, at least, will be okay.

Nebraska will get the Capitol
Nebraska will get the Capitol
Nebraska will get the Capitol One vs. Georgia/LSU/Texas A&M/South Carolina
We will get the Outback vs. one of those four
I was incorrect: The Cotton Bowl and the Chick-Fil-A Bowl will take two of the teams, leaving Mississippi State vs. Northwestern. They might have a shot.
Stanford's defense is not Nebraska's. Wisconsin has not shown anything like this all season against a quality opponent. Perhaps not a sure thing, but Stanford will be a heavy favorite.

Could've made just as good a block without launching his shoulder like he did, but it really only looks bad because dude wasn't looking. I don't think it was blindside like Pereira said either, Bell hit him right in the chest.

Have you ever made that block? Making it any other way puts the blocker at risk...the defender is running full speed and to make sure YOU don't get run over you need to accelerate into him faster than he is coming.

I'm not a big guy, but have taken down much bigger guys with clean hits that they don't see coming. It's leverage and angle of attack. I think it was probably a clean hit (albeit devastating) but won't blame the refs if they think Bell launched himself. So "unnecessary" roughness, even though the implication is that there is necessary roughness.

After looking at the review,
After looking at the review,
After looking at the review, that was 100% a clean block. Bell lead with his shoulder and hit him right in the upper chest. The reason the Wisco player was down and possibly concussed was because he landed on his head, which you can't really blame Bell for. Horrible call, but live it was tough to make since the hit was just that good. Too good.
The Michigan Difference. Oh yea, it is real.

Wouldn't he feel like a dick if he actually broke his leg, especially since they're already blowing them out. Then again, it reminds me of something I heard that last time M played Wisconsin- something about Bielema trying to get his OL to break Mike Martin's ankles...

The rule is that the Citrus has the first choice of non-BCS Big 10 teams, but can't pick a team that has 2 less wins or 2 more losses than someone eligible. Since Nebraska has 10 wins and we have 8, they can't pick is even if they want to.
