knapplc Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Sean Callahan made an available seat map on SeatGeek. Lots of good seats available. Lots. Quote Link to comment
Badger_HB Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 If even one of you votes for MSU, I will hunt you down and bully you on the Interweb. Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I think Wisconsin is going to roll Sparty. Quote Link to comment
Muck Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'd rather see Dantonio make it to the Rose Bowl but the team that loses the first game usually comes back stronger in the re-match. Quote Link to comment

Excel Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'm making the same prediction I've made for every game this season. UW either wins big or losses close. Whoever ends up winning, ESPN will name Trent Richardson the MVP of the game...I can already see it coming. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Wisconsin wins 41-10. Not even close. Quote Link to comment
spartyfan1718 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I like no one giving us a chance, just like last time when they were supposed to walk away with an easy victory in East Lansing. Quote Link to comment
husker_99 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Go State! I would rather be in the division that wins these championships more frequently than that failure Big 12 North division we were in. Also if our divisions wins most of these that would help us in the future polls because it would be perceived we play in a tougher division thus a better ranking. Quote Link to comment
spartyfan1718 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I think it's already clear that the Legends from top to bottom is a much tougher division. After Wisconsin and Ohio St the competition severely drops, and that includes Penn St who I said was a big phony before this scandal even hit. Quote Link to comment
