I always thought- you don’t go into Camp Randall at night and just walk out.  

If you get out- you had to fight like hell.  

Nice to see that come back.

I was surprised at the great attendance last night, given the Brewers played at the same time and are in the Series (not World, sorry) for the first time since 1982.

Wisconsin had 58 passing yards.  USC had -17 rushing.  Wow.

You're a strange, petty man.  

World Series or World Champions simply refers to being the best in the world.  MLB is the best baseball league in the world.  It's champion is the best team in the world.  Now I know, I know, there's probably some secret powerhouse baseball team in Mongolia we don't know about, who would wipe the floor with the Rays or Brewers, but there might not be.

I think as we age, we get more particular about bizarre, random things, and the more particular we get, the more peculiar we become.

Luke is earning that upcoming extension.  If he beats Iowa it's a cakewalk to the playoffs as a two loss Big Ten team.

"World" Series implies that the "World" is playing.

It isn't. It's one country, and one team from a country right across a Lake.

Not only is he a shit coach, he's delusional.

Wisconsin had 3 scoring drives of 70+ yards.

I mean Wisconsin did only have 200 yards of total offense, and no passing game to speak of. Ordinarily a team wins a game with defense like that. But you are right, the Badgers made efficient use of their meager total offense, turning in three solid drives, each ending in a touchdown and burning a ton of clock, particularly the last one, at over 8 minutes.

Little things matter. Had the Trojans not missed two field goals in a row, the Badgers get the ball back with a 4-point lead in the 4th quarter, instead of a 10-point lead. That's a much different game. But they did miss (as did the Badgers in the first half)--have to be sound in the kicking game. USC failed to take advantage of a poor first quarter offense from the Badgers, squandering two picks in USC territory for a mere 3 points. But starting in the second quarter the next four Badger drives went TD, TD, punt, TD.

A lot of games are like that, IMHO, a handful of plays went one way instead of the other.  A team is outplayed statistically and wins.

Instead of finishing a drive 4th and 2, they get the extra 3 yards.  A tipped pass falls to the ground, or is caught by either side.  A DB falls down, but the pass is overthrown.

I'm not sure Riley gets fired yet.
