Did the Gophers put such a physical pounding on the skunks last week that they were unable to produce this week?
20 point favorites at home with the BCS on the line! It may end up hurting our bowl position, but damn it was delicious.
I really can't see an MSU team ranked between 8-10 (depending how these other matchups go) drop out of the top 14 with a loss to #2 OSU. With that said, we root for Sparty to beat OSU which is a much surer scenario for 2 B1G BCS bowl teams (also because MSU is far more likable).

I'm cheering for Ohio State to win a national title. It's best for the conference.
Not with that defense.

Badger rump roast tastes like chicken.
20? Badgers were -26.5 before kick off today. This was an epic choke job by Wisconsin. Senior Day at Camp Randall. A potential BCS birth on the line. And they lose to a team, for the second straight season, with 60 scholarships
Wisconsin was exposed today. I love how their fans talk about Minnesota taking advantage of a down B10. Badgers only beat one B10 team with an above .500 conference record: Iowa (5-3), Minnesota (4-4), Indiana (3-5), Illinois (1-7), NW (1-7), Purdue (0-8). These teams have a combined 14-34 (.292) conference record.

You've hit the nail on the head and color me surprised. I thought they would be really business-like and handle the Nittany Lions, if not with ease, comfortably. Big let-down. Couldn't get over how the announcers kept saying how uncharacteristic the Badgers' play was and, for the most part, I agree. I think their weakness in the defensive backfield showed up and Hackenburg--who is going to be a big-time player--took full advantage. It would have been worse if the back judge had called a couple of obvious PI/Illegal Contact penalties against Wisconsin.

Do the refs just not see the arm bars the Skunk DB's put on people? They got away with it multiple times against us then again tonight against PSU. Grabbing one arm of the receiver you're going against generally impedes his ability to catch the ball. Wisconsin's DB's are clearly coached to do this, and get away with it more often than not. That being said, glad the "elite" badgers got beat tonight. Good job Lions.

The Zwinak 60 yard run on 3rd and 9 was a thing of beauty...
