You're allowed one win - which helps our program more? Wisc or OSU?

Submitted by myrtlebeachmai… on

So the genie gives you one to choose from...

A home Wisconsin win, in front of the Michigan Faithful, with some recruits, on Senior Day

-or-

A road win over chief rival OSU and Pryor to end their streak against us

As much as I'd like it to be OSU, I almost feel Wisky is the more important.  I think our fanbase really needs the win in our own stadium, to help further turn around some of the doubters.  I think OSU is still the perceived "better" team in the conference, and the "heat" for losing to them would less considerable.

Ohio State... end that streak. NO QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT:  Perhaps a more fair question is Ohio State and Lose Bowl Game   OR  Wisconsin and win Bowl Game

I'm assuming you are but why would you ask if I might actually choose a Wisconsin win over an OSU win. There is no question.  I would rather beat the Buckeyes than the Taliban.

No offense, but come on, man. A win at home against Wiscy would be great, but I'd bet 99 out of 100 UM fans would take the (way too) long awaited win against our biggest rival.

Really? Really?

I would choose to close out the season, away, in the hostilest territory w/ a W everytime.

We've got a miserable streak going and look like underdogs again. This isn't even a real choice. Go to Columbus, break their spirits, and sing "The Victors" the whole busride home.

hopefully it won't end. If the unthinkable happens this weekend, well I don't know. Something. But they won't lose. They are hard edge.

I was thinking of posting something on the board before the game to up the level of positive hard edginess, but it would probably be deleted faster than Bielema drinking a large Farva.

Ohio State Community College no question. A loss to Wisky sucks, but time will ease the pain. After losing to Ohio State the past 6 years, I want nothing more than to beat sweater vest and TP in the shoe.

I would take the win over Wisconsin because a) its at home and ill be there b) its an official visit weekend c) if im not mistaken, beating OSU would send Michigan State to the Rose Bowl and as much as I hate Ohio State, I would actually rather see them play in the Rose Bowl instead of little brother.

Is there any doubt what the answer is?  Beating the Fu@#$%^& on their own turf to get back to 8 W's...Can you say "We're back!". 

Great post.  The board is very positive this week.  Good signs all around us!  Let's not overlook the opportunity this weekend.

Hail!

So if we can only win 90 out of our next 100 games and 4 of the losses have to be non-conference and 3 of the losses in bowl games, who do you  think we should lose to, in order to give the most prestige to the football program and would this be reason enough to fire RR and would this make Brandon the greatest AD ever?
