Wasn't in Madison? Wisconsin (from what I've heard) struggles @Michigan State Yep, that's what I think too. There really isn't too much separating these teams...you can't really say one team is #1 another is #2 and so on...you really have to separate them in to tiers and right now I'd say MSU NU and UW are in the top tier of the Big Ten. Yeah, I think it depends on if we can form any consistency. Is it true that Wiscy struggles @Michigan State? I don't want any misinformation out there. Thanks in advance! Yes, we do.

Classic. MSU plays out of their minds then comes crashing back to earth this week. Keep up the good work guys.

Strange, they never called us classy, isn't that right Badger_HB Seems like not pointing that out would have be the classy thing to do... Which would, in a roundabout way, make you very unclassy, amiright?

John Lynch told Jim Rome today that Suh isn't dirty, but that he should lay off the "fake toughness".

Get used to the B1G being called "down" any year Ohio State and Michigan aren't dueling for the conference title.

Judging from some of the (presumably older) guys over at BuckeyePlanet, they hate them.

I don't know, I'm just not a big fan of all the Pro Combat hoopla. 75% of the stuff just doesn't look good, and some of it's downright terrible (see: Georgia).

This stuff's all cyclical.

This is all spot-on. It would matter if the BCS rankings still stood as the tiebreaker in the conference, but thankfully, they don't. Wisconsin now needs to just focus on winning out and getting to the B1GCG.

b*******.

Well, you would still have arguments about who should get in. But that's innumerably better than the current state of affairs.

Seeing as how white Wisconsin is, I hope you mean reverse discrimination.

As a Wisconsin fan, I don't really care about the rankings anymore. Winning out and making the Big Ten championship is really all that's left.

It's the BCS, I've given up trying to rationalize the rankings it spits out.

LOL.

That was a fun game to watch last night and the Badgers have nothing to feel ashamed about... RW is the real deal, you're OLine is great, Defense is solid (secondary needs to tighten up a bit though) and the game was played without any extra cirricular activities on both sides (which was good to see). Seems every year there are gonna be a couple of 'upsets' within the power teams in the B1G and that is what makes this conference worth watching! Play last nights game in Madison and probably a different outcome. Sparty is very hard to beat in EL as you saw. Both teams are very well coached and ended up being a typical trench warfare - a good ol' slobbernockin' battle !!! Also I have to give KUDOS to the forum members on HuskerBoard, very classy ! Seems topics can be discussed here w/o all the 'flaming' that was occuring on the UM, RCMB and Badger MB's. last week... Should be a good game in Lincoln next week. Congrats on a great game, and yes, I appreciate the civility here.

The Big10 is funny - there are some teams that you just don't like playing. MSU always struggles against Iowa - look at last year, but for Iowa we win the conference. Overall they weren't great, but they kicked the Spartans A**. I swear that Iowa could be in the midst of a raging cholera epidemic, coached by Luther Van Dam and still squash us like a bug. This is beyond true...Wisconsin frequently gets tripped up at MSU and UW and Minn almost always play close regardless of the records. You can see this kind of thing throughout the conference.... I'm tired of playing the Spartans, losing to them 3 of the last 4 will do that. They spoiled yet another season. Well, now, I know it stings tonight, but honestly, there's no guarantee you guys were going to the NCG even if you ran the table, and you've still got the conference championship and the Rose Bowl ahead of you. I wouldn't say your season is ruined exactly. This x1000. We needed help to get to the NCG.

I must say I was pleasantly surprised by MSU tonight. A clean game. Not very often you see zero penalties called.

Really? Can't they move this?

Understandable. He'll always have his critics (and lots of them), but the guy gives it his all.

Hey, great game tonight. See you in Indy hopefully.

Once again, this is like my tenth time asking you. What proof do you have that we payed him? Just ignore him. He obviously doesn't. That is about the single worst way to lose a game. Bielema is gonna have to answer a lot of questions.

I think you'll slowly realize that Minnesota is the worst team you'll play all year.
