UW rolls out the red carpet

by Kevin Bargnes

Friday, October 3, 2008


Officials urged students to ?Roll out the Red Carpet? for Ohio State football fans in Madison for Saturday night?s game at Camp Randall.
The reminder for good sportsmanship was e-mailed to University of Wisconsin students from the UW Athletic Department.
After 99 people were ejected from last year?s night game against Iowa, UW Senior Associate Athletic Director Vince Sweeney said the e-mail was a ?reminder of sportsmanship.?
?We?re rivals, but we?re not enemies, and people need to remember that,? Sweeney said.
The e-mail asked fans to refrain from vulgarities, rude behavior, tossing of objects and other insults against fans from the opposing team.
This will be Ohio State?s first visit to Madison since 2003, when the No. 23 Badgers upset the No. 3 Buckeyes 20-17, ending Ohio State?s 19-game winning streak.

Ohio St, Wisconsin looking for fresh starts



Posted: October 3, 2008


MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Chris "Beanie" Wells cracks up in the huddle at freshman quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who eagerly tries to describe each play before the 14th-ranked Buckeyes run it.
"It's funny, Terrelle always has to look back and explain the full play," said Wells, who pesters Pryor about the habit. "I just know it comes with being a new guy."

Is Ohio State (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten) -- the Midwest model of modesty -- having fun again with its dynamic backfield of Wells and Pryor after being decimated by Southern California? "I don't think we're looking forward to redemption, we're just trying to go out there and get better," said Wells, the hobbled running back who'll wear a lineman's shoe to protect his injured foot.
Wells is expected to play against No. 18 Wisconsin (3-1, 0-1) after gaining 169 yards and scoring three times in last year's 38-17 victory. The winner of Saturday night's showdown can keep big bowl hopes afloat and feel much better near the season's halfway point.
But both teams have embarrassing low points already.
Ohio State needs to win at night on the road to forget 35-3 romp to the Trojans on Sept. 13.

This sucks. I will not be able to see the game tomorrow because of a prior engagement made before I knew it was to be a night game. I thought this would have been a 3:30 game and I would be able to watch the game before taking off for the event I have to go to tomorrow night.

I might have to go buy a Slingbox today.

:oh:

Scooter, did Taosman post make you do this??.. Well Stop it! lol

Taos - Why does every post of yours read like a bad fortune cookie? :)

I am not seeing a low scoring game. I don't think it is going to be a track meet by any means, but I think we can pass on the Badgers and get large chunks of yards with the passing came.

Buckeyes 27
Whisky - 23

Like I said, they are late evening/night plans. If it were a 3:30 kickoff (like I thought it would be, damn ABC scheduling!!), then the game is over by 7 - 8 pm. My plans have me leaving the house at 8:30.

I am not a big fan of these night games, never have been. Call me old school, but the afternoon games are the best times to watch a game.

Well, at least I have a Slingbox on hold at Best Buy and will pick it up at lunch today. Just hope it works as well as they say.

No matter what they say about not looking for redemption, both teams will be.

I think that the Buckeyes will hang at least 21 on them and that our defense will be better this week. Hill still gets 100 yards. Ohio State racks up 31:30 in time of possession, 200 yards on the ground and the same in the air.

28-20 for the good guys.
