Back from Camp Randall

[Maximus]

The truth is; yes The Axe is important... but it's not as meaningful as other games because the rivalry itself has not been meaningful for decades. We say it is because of all the boarder business and all the crossover and The Axe and whatnot, but the truth is that it's a tired series that is boring and going downhill. And YOUR program is to blame.

It's the same old thing for us 7 years now and 13/15 besides that. On top of that the games that we play are pretty much pointless in the realm of College Football because Minnesota is never ranked and usually has a losing record coming into the game. The last time is was even remotely exciting was 05' when both were ranked #21 and #22 but even that isn't anything special compared to other stuff going on in the sport. The game's not even at the end of the year for god sakes.

Is it fun to win The Axe? Sure, but I can tell you right now, Ohio State coming this weekend for GameDay and Nebraska coming to Camp Randall next fall brings MUCH more excitement and buzz than pounding the conference bottom-feeders that we unfortunately "have" to call our rivals every year.

Valiant effort.

And yet, despite your protestations to the contrary, you register for an account and over a period of many weeks and months, feel the need to read posts here so you can defend the honor of UW and post worthless drivel like the above. After a quick look over the Ohio State and Nebraska boards there is no posting by you. Interesting.

Yes there is, actually. Don't you look smart!

And by the way, it's far more entertaining to discuss the sport with knowledgeable and rational fans, like the Buckeyes and Huskers, who aren't terrified and panicked by the presence of visitors. Consider taking a few notes from them- perhaps it could help the bad-fan virus that we've all seen ailing the 'gopher nation' for the past 50 years.

Yeah, I'm sure you go on their boards, act like a d*ckhead to everyone, and condescend like there's no tomorrow. Yup, I'm sure you do that.

Have you ever considered that the great majority of Vadger/Pig-F'er fans get treated like sh*t here because they come in full of bluster, when in the back of their minds they know they're still our little sister?

Really?

Do you give anything you say the slightest bit of thought or consideration? Good god... some of you will just never fail to astound no matter how hard reality is trying to get through to you. What's it gonna take? Cutting the entire program before you snap out of it?

Anyone in here notice how pumped it was for OSU? Its hard to get excited for a 11am kick against a 1 win 1aa team.
