Wisconsin vs Nebraska / Night Games Open Thread:

On Wisconsin!  I'd love to see two division rivals go down in Week 1 of Big Ten play.

FG?? Where is Badger man ball?

You have Montee Ball, fourth down at the one-foot line, and you go for the field goal?

Sure the FG gets you a two-score lead, but if your team can't move the ball less than a yard into the end zone, surely your defense can hold the opposing team with 99 yards to work with?

Touchdown Wisco

LolPelini, going from celebration to PeliniRage in three milliseconds.

I think that really sucks that the officials wait until the ball is snapped to have a play reviewed.

The Badgers sent out the FG unit, and changed their mind, so the offense goes for it and supposedly gets this TD....except this stab at the end zone is also being reviewed as well. They may very well get this called one way or the other by midnight if we're lucky. 

EDIT: Wisconsin gets this much-anticipated TD. The PAT is good, and Memorial Stadium is silent enough that anyone who farts is doomed to public humilation. 14-0 Badgers. 

Lol, I knew south Carolina was way overrated, but Kentucky up 10 on them and at 2 and goal again? Yikes.

Wow, those N fans look shell shocked.

for the Heisman commercial on the B10 Network. Obviously, the engineers have all gone home and left this sucker on autopilot. . . 17 runs for 45 yards today. 

Whats up with B1G tailgates and kings ford?

Nebraska returns the KO to about the Wisconsin 20.

Borland, huge hit.

That Borland kid is a heluva linebacker.

Complaint:  Nebraska has it made with scheduling their home games.  Their two biggest home opponents this year, Wisconsin and Michigan, both of them are night games.  And we can't get one home night game this year?  Granted our home schedule sucks but the fans would gladly take a night game against anyone, I would think. 

Hopefully we can somehow get to the point where we might get even more than one night game against big opponents like this. 

So THAT is how linebackers are supposed to play. 

Can't field a kickoff in the corner like that. Either it will go into the end zone as a touchback, or out of bounds and out to the 30.

Man, Wisc's OL is just not vintage this year

Borland almost single-handedly demolishes an opportunity handed to Nebraska on a special teams coverage fail, and the Cornhuskers settle for an FG.

Also, Stave just made what  could have been the dumbest pass into coverage in the season to date if it had been intercepted, considering half the Nebraska defense was there to potentially catch it. 

Make fun of Martinez's ugly throwing motion...but at least he knows when to tuck the ball and run. 

Wow Ball....you cant drop that underthrown or not..

What is it with Wisconsin punters and picking up PFs on the other team?

Brain cramp! Roughing!

ANDLHG?

Wow, Wiscy's passing is impressive.  Their selling out against the run, but the secondary can't keep up.

Wisconsin must really have it out for Nebraska because they have decided to get out of their funk besides that extra point kick.

Does not appear to be good at football.

When you rough the punter, you give the ball back to the other team.

When you give  the ball back to the other team, they can score again.

When they score again, your fans wonder if they've spent their money wisely.

When your fans wonder if they've spent their money wisely, they buy less concessions.

When they buy less concessions, you play a team like UCLA.

Don't play a team like UCLA. 

Wow. This is bad, bad, bad for Nebraska. 

If their season continues like this, and they lose to us (among others), I don't see how Bo Pelini keeps his job. With Osborne going out a new AD might find it helpful to make his own mark with a coach in any case.

I predicted Nebraska to give Wisconsin a pounding tonight.  So, I'm done predicting games. 

It's the second quarter and Wisconsin has already scored more points than they did against Oregon State and Utah State. 

You've spent the whole first half telling us they suck without Wilson, dude; make up your behind!

Starting to feel a little better about shutting down the Huskers in a few weeks, rolling Wisconsin in Indy is looking a little tougher than it did through the last 4 weeks, though.

Neb is in a no win situation....if Bo cant get to the CCG this year he is probably gone. If you bring in someone new they better have strong roots in places like Ohio and Illinois.

With coming to the big ten that pretty much closes recruting i would think in a place like Texas and there isn't a lot of talent that doesn't end up at OU in the same area.

Neb could be in deep trouble if that happens.

Damn, Wiscy making some good passes/catches.

So did Nebraska get out of the Big 12 at the right time, or is the Big 12 a little overrated? Methinks it's the latter part.

Am I the only one who thinks the big W on the front of the badgers' unis looks like a Madonna-style pointy bra?

OTOH, I'm loving their helmets.

Well Stave is certainly not as mobile as Wilson, that's for true.

Towson -LSU. Right now Towson is down just 8 at the beginning of the second half, and is driving...

LSU could blow this one wide open (which they likely will), but keep your eyes open.

I hate to admit it, but night games are so the shit.  Such a better atmosphere than a nooner.
