Yes, and back in the days of the 11-team Big Ten,  not only did the Big Ten finish the week before Thanksgiving,  but there was always 1 team left out during rivalry week.

After PSU joined,  PSU and MSU started playing each other in the last game of the season.

For a few years Iowa-Minn-Wisc did a 3 team rotation,  where 2 teams played the last week and the other team had to find an OOC game to play,  or else be done 2 weeks before Thanksgiving.

In the late 80's,  before PSU joined,  Iowa would play Minn and MSU would play Wisc during the last week.

Going way back to the 50"s and early 60's,  Iowa would often play Notre Dame in the last game of the season.  Iowa eventually cancelled the series after the famous fainting Irish game where the Irish faked injuries to stop the clock and score a last second TD.
The Badgers went to Hawaii quite a bit, as a reward for the players and fans. They also hosted pastries at times.

1823 Days Since Ohio State Last beat Michigan
It astounds me that you guys are proud of flagrant cheating but ok:

Michigan's last legitimate win over Ohio State was 13 years ago today, November 26, 2011.  That is 4,749 days ago.  

In the 1,823 days since Ohio State's 56-27 win on November 30, 2019 we had:
  • Michigan's dirty coach faked a COVID outbreak to avoid his beatdown in 2020.  
  • Michigan "won" three times while operating the worst cheating scandal in modern CFB.  

Oh, and prior to this illegitimate streak by your dirty cheaters, Ohio State won eight straight from 2012-2019 so there were 3,654 days between Michigan's win in 2011 and their win* in 2021.  

*Soon to be vacated due to Michigan's unethical behavior.

There were certain years, I think when the calendar fell a certain way, where the final week was Thanksgiving.  1995 and 2001 I believe for certain did.  But yes typically the opposite was the case.  I believe they decided to change it the last couple years of 11 teams, because most other conferences had by that point, and several had CCGs, so Big Ten teams had an extra 2 weeks off.  Mix in the NCG moving deeper into January, and I think by 2006/2007, Ohio State had like 6 weeks off between the Michigan game and the national championship

This is NOT a dead horse.  

Michigan fans were still crowing over Tressel's MUCH less significant transgressions immediately prior to their own scandal.  Additionally, the NCAA process hasn't fully played out yet.  The punishments haven't yet been formalized.  The current HC obstructed the NCAA investigation and was promoted by the dirty institution AFTER they knew about that.  It will never be a dead horse after they did that.  

This is nowhere close to a dead horse.

From my perspective (this board) it's a dead horse.

The NCAA isn't going to do damn thing. They have no power whatsoever.

Yes, sometimes Iowa hosted a cupcake in its last game,  but it backfired one year in 2007 when Iowa got upset by WMU and missed a bowl game, dropping to 6-6. 

2007 was one of those weird years when 10 out of 11 Big Ten teams were bowl elligible, and only had 8 slots available.  So the 2 teams that went 6-6 stayed home.

There was also 1995, the year that gave us the worst Thanksgiving game in the history of bad Thanksgiving games--and the last tie in CFB history: Wisconsin 3, Illinois 3. Another moment I was happy to be doing something that precluded watching a Badger game.

And Badge, ND at USC--and you complaining about ND in any way possible--is proof that college football hasn't lost all of its traditions, at least not yet. :-)

This year, the University of Second Choice has a real opportunity to screw up the Irish season--even more than NIU did.

Cal-UCLA was never a real rivalry. UCLA's only real rival is USC.

I like Wisconsin/Minnesota as an end-of-the-season rivalry game, but I can't for the life of me figure out why Wisconsin is -2. I'm not a betting man, but if I were, I would put some money on the Goophs.

Its at Wisconsin
I would lay money on the Badgers if i gambled.  they need 1 game to be bowl eligible and have more to play for.  bounces will go Wisc way -this will end up being a close game probably a final possession type game
