It will be interesting to see what TCU's 4-2-5 scheme can do against Wisconsin's rushing attack. If they can stop Wisconsin, then I will support our 3-3-5.

Big Ten with the "home field" crowd
Big Ten with the "home field" crowd
It's weird seeing the crowd about 75-25% in support of the B1G Ten team in the Rose Bowl. That's to be expected the way Wisconsin travels and TCU not being a Pac-10 team, but still weird.

Closer to 60-40
Closer to 60-40
But both teams have way more fans than what Michigan usually has there. Blame it on lack of local interest(USC) for increased ticket availability

I think TCU not being a local
I think TCU not being a local
I think TCU not being a local Pac-10 team is the biggest factor, but Texas is also a divided state several times over (thus diluting the potential non-alumni fanbase) whereas Wisconsin only has the Badgers and it's been 11 years since they played in Pasadena. That, and TCU has about 9,000 students versus Wisconsin's 42,000 so they have a smaller alumni base.
Hail to the college whose colors we wear,
Hurrah for the Yellow and Blue!

The TCU player clearly carried it over the goal line. Position of the feet is irrelevant.

Wisconsin's rather confident they're going to get the 2 pt conversion they way they're draining the clock...

Bielema's clock management in the first half

Wasn't too impressive either. Seems to me that he could have had a touchdown (assuming they could have made a 4th and inches) if he'd used his timeouts better.
That may be the wine talking.

I can't think of a worse day for the conference (somebody's going to say the day the logo/names were released, but let's get serious) Arguably the best team in the conference, which was being considered for the NC game should either of the top two had lost, loses in the Rose Bowl, where the Big Ten has only won one game in the last decade (screw you, Pryor.) Your player of the year is shut down by a middling SEC team, two of your teams are blown out, and you go 0-3 against the SEC.
This morning the Big 10 was 2-0 in bowls, and the SEC was 0-3
Now the Big 10 is 2-5 (!!!) and the SEC is 3-3.

Wisconsin needs to squash TCU like 'Bama squashed little bro'. That's the only thing that can cheer me up even remotely, save the mead and Killians I've been stashing.
