  1. The first stringers aren't in. There hasn't been a pass since the second quarter. Gorden is a 3rd string RB and White is second string. Phillips is 3rd string but our other 2 QBs are injured. Stop whining. The Huskers defense is atrocious.
  2. From a Badgers fan-- Guys, please, please sh#t all over MSU. Destroy them, embarrass them. I would much, much rather see you guys in Indy than the Spartans--it would be nice to play a respectable team with class than one like that which we lost to tonight. I'll be pulling hard for you guys. Good luck!
  3. So (sorry to keep this going)...one of the Nebraska assistant coaches had a different perspective than some of you guys: http://www.omaha.com/article/20111003/BIGRED/710039818/-1#shatel-pelini-has-the-right-posture-for-the-press
  4. Unrelated to anything: is your basketball team any good? If you guys are awful, I would love to see a "toilet bowl" type rivalry between UNL and Iowa. You guys would have me rooting for you every singly time.
  5. Look, no offense, but academically we're one of the best public schools in the nation. Far, far better than Nebraska (this isn't meant as an insult, but it is true). Wisconsin isn't exactly an easy school to get into, and there's high competition for every incoming class. You don't want your kid to look at our school because of what happens at football games? That's irrational, at best. On the flip-side, I'm sure someone will be more than happy to take his spot...if he had a shot of getting in.
  6. You'd be amazed how much this explains the post. Btw, definitely my favorite video to come out of the game:
  7. I doubt that happened. If it did, it was probably the OSU fans provoking them. I remember we invited some OSU fans to tailgate with us, and they told us to "Go f**k ourselves." It happened multiple times, although the vitriol spewed by the Buckeyes' fans varied. Classy, OSU. Wisconsin is a gorgeous state and Madison is a beautiful city. I'm sorry we all can't have the landfill that is Cleveland in our state. Like I said--bitter, bitter fans.
  8. Well, let's be realistic about OSU fans--most of them are just bitter because they live in Ohio. Honestly, I'd probably hate myself, too, if I had to live there. Your fans are awful, though. I have never come across a more disrespectful, bitter, and angry fanbase than the one that visited last year. I'm always gracious to incoming fans (and found the vast majority of NU ones to be great), but the OSU fans were, on the whole, a bunch of pricks. Also, to anyone at the game, this is pretty cool: http://www.uwbadgers.com/fancam
  9. Pretty sure the only vulgar chant I took part in was the "f#*k Lee Corso" one. I can guarantee that Badger fans will never let him forget his choice yesterday. Also, you guys are in desperate need of a bar guide! You took over the super-sh**ty bars on State Street--Mondays, Whisky River, etc. Next time you go to Madison, hit up Maduro or the Old Fashioned. They're much nicer bars and aren't filled to the brim with undergrads.
  10. here's something else NU beats UW at, having more good cholesterol. not exactly.... http://www.webmd.com...ls-in-28-states f#*k, our country is fat.
  11. I'm holding no one hostage. But as a small business manager, I can tell you that I'll take every penny I can get. And driving any customer away is never something I would do. But to each his own I guess. Eh, whatever. Madison has one of the healthiest economies in the nation, which is impressive considering how things are going elsewhere. Like I said earlier--we were courteous to the Nebraska fans, drank with them, made sure they were eating (cheese and brats are pretty big here). The first bit of true hostility I actually saw was on Regent Street, and it was a douchey NU fan who was unrepresentative of the overall fan base. Students will be students. It's just something you should expect. I'm guessing the older crowd was super hospitable and really nice. I expect the same from the grad students (like me!), too.
  12. Oh! I do have a question for Huskers fans: What the hell is up with your ultra-creepy mascot? That thing is frightening.
  13. Of course you do, but then again, that's probably the Viking in you. Does it suck to root for an NFL team that's an embarrassment to the league and will never, ever win a Super Bowl? Dude, take it easy. These things tend to be cyclical. Just a few short years ago that "embarrassment" was in the NFCCG... Hehe, they also really learned what it's like to have Brett Favre as your QB...
  14. Of course you do, but then again, that's probably the Viking in you. Does it suck to root for an NFL team that's an embarrassment to the league and will never, ever win a Super Bowl? As for the whole Packers/Badgers thing...it's true. Life revolves around football in Wisconsin, and as soon as a Badgers game is over, the whole state is looking forward to the Packers game the next day. The vast majority of people in Madison are diehard Badgers fans, but people here also love the Packers. Honestly, what do you expect?
  15. I'm actually really interested to see what the NU fans who attended the game thought. Forget the actual student section--the two biggest things we do are a very unique "wave" around the stadium multiple times, and then, of course, "Jump Around." I've been to other schools, too, and have gotten harassed by students--definitely something to be expected. I will say this: at last night's game in the student section, instead of tossing around a beach ball, students were batting around a giant, blow-up penis. Was it immature? Absolutely, but I still thought it was hilarious. I don't think I've ever heard of us doing anything as bad as the urine--I know that we upset Michigan in the 90s and students pulled off a bleacher seat and threw it over the side of the stadium. That was pretty bad (and criminal). Oh, and by the way, totally unrelated: I did my undergrad at Buffalo, so I just wanted to say I'm a huge Turner Gill fan. I hope he manages to turn things around at Kansas...they're in desperate need of some success.
