Now our coaches will be always wondering how the game would have played out differently if they didn't rest Beckum nearly the whole way because they assumed it would be a blowout. He comes in and ignites the offense like he did in 2006 against the 1-win Illini at home, almost single-handedly willing a stagnant/sleeping team to victory. But then we get in the red zone and we freeze up. Every game and situation has its own distinct personality and this one was effected by our losing history at the big house creeping into the back of the player's minds. In my discussions to Badger brethren who were just trying to guess, not if we'd beat Michigan, but by how much; I'd always be the one tempering the arrogance, reminding them of past history and match-ups in this game like Michigan's stout run defense v. our proclivity to run the football. My prediction was that Wisconsin would win by one score, but in the back of my mind I even doubted that much of advantage would be created.

See you next week. I don't think today's game has much indication on how our contest plays out unless this completely deflates the Badgers.

BTW, I wasn't watching that final drive, thankfully. It's bush league to call an illegal man downfield on a key play like that. Let the players decide it at least. Seeing that would just have made the loss even more painful.

Agreed, what a pansy-ass way to decide a ballgame. Fuck Michigan.

"The greatest comeback in the history of this stadium"....really? is that stupid blonde chick "reporter" hyperbole, or is a 19 point comeback really the biggest comeback ever at that dump?

The players did decide the game, by not being where you're supposed to be in the formation in the first place, and then when shifted to where you were supposed to be, you end up covering an eligible receiver, thus making him ineligible. Not bush league at all...learn where the fuck you're supposed to be in the formation that's called.

It depends on how far he drifted down the field. Like I said I didn't watch the play. If he thought he was a receiver that's one thing. But if he followed through on a block and ended up 6 yards down the field, that's bush league. You could probably call it on every play, like holding on a very abbreviated shirt tug.

Whatever. Not that we didn't mostly deserve the loss for not making one of 30 plays previous to seal the game. If the offensive coordinator doesn't call an option to the plodding inside running P.J. Hill on 3rd and 1, the game is probably over right then and there. If we don't bench Clay after he dominates we win the game going away.

Serves me right. I fell asleep on this game, I need to be well rested, it's my B-Day today and my goal tonight is to pass out, lol.

But, shit, how did Wisky do that? They seemed to be well in control at half, did RichRod somehow get Pat White and Steve Slaton in the Piss & Blue???

he ran into the endzone and blocked, seemingly by design, as the QB threw right underneath him to Beckum.
