Nobody. I've lived in Wisconsin for more than a decade and never heard that before. Hope to never hear it again.

Lived in Wisconsin for 5 years...only time I heard/saw it was some college group promoting it as a slogan type thing. Don't think it caught on

Something tells me you may have been blue even before day 1, what with your increasingly apparent prenatal lack of oxygen.

I predict 3 TDs for Peppers. Offense, defense, and special teams.

Someone screenshot and save this shit.

I've been looking forward to this game forever. I can't wait now that it's a night game. Should be a lot of fun, Wisconsin fans who travel (about ten hours to Ann Arbor) are classy. Going to a game in madison is a different story though...

10 hours? No. I grew up in Ann Arbor and attended Wisconsin and it's only a five and a half hour drive.

I had the pleasure of watching us win in Madison after a muffed punt way back in the early 00s.

Miserable, gray, rainy fall day, if I remember correctly. We had no business winning that game. Loved the muffed punt.

Rather than saying "sorry about the freep link"

Don't even link it...why not just say "According to the FREEP..."

We all know what it is and you don't give them any more clicks. Those that REALLY want to read it can go find it themselves.

Either Wisconsin or Penn State would be good options. I'm just happy to have Wisconsin back on the schedule.

WD had to still be in diapers the last time we played them.

Branding the thing as UTL makes it sound like we just discovered electric lighting. A UTL game would have been impressive 110 years ago. In 2016, not so much.

Night games are great on the West Coast

I enjoy going to the LA Alumni watch locations but it's tough to make it for the early games, especially since I am in Claremont.

Might actually put up more of a fight. Without Hackenberg to go get sacked on every attempt, there's no sense passing it. They might actually develop some run offense out of desperation.

Or Not.

I definitely remember the last time we played Wisconsin. I was there and quite miserable. When JJ Watt jumped from DE and intercepted Denard's pass in the backfield, I was pretty much ready to hit the road at that point. Instead I stayed and watched them run for all over us and Scott Tolzien complete what seemed like every pass he threw. (Shivers)

The last time Michigan played Wisconsin, Rich Rod was coach, Barack Obama was less than halfway through his first term, and Groupon had just turned down a $6 billion acquisition offer from Google. It almost feels like Wisconsin and Michigan aren't even in the same conference anymore.
