I'm wondering how Wiscy is going to score points in this game unless they are given turnovers?
I don't think they are as good as Indiana.
And their kicking game is much worse.
I still see a tight game just because Wiscy will go ball control and shorten the game hoping to pull out some sort of miracle finish.

Memorable Madness in Madison

CampRandall.jpg


Camp Randall Stadium has been the scene of some great football games between the Badgers and Buckeyes. It has also been the home of some wacky plays and circumstances around the game. In honor of OSU's impending return to Camp Randall on Saturday night, we decided to take a look at some of the memorable games there during the-Ozone era, which began in October of 1996.

Before we get into the games though, some general comments about the Camp Randall experience.

If you are a sports writer, you never forget your first "Jump Around," a Wisconsin tradition in between the third and fourth quarter. It's not so much for the actual jumping, but for the fact that the press box sways forward and backward a couple of inches when the fans start jumping. A couple of inches doesn't sound like much, but when you are sitting in the box and it starts moving, it's terrifying. Visiting writers all try to keep their cool, but when you look around at the faces near you while the box is swaying, they all have a "holy crap is this thing going to fall" look on them. Yeah, everybody smiles and laughs when the swaying stops, but during the actual swaying the look is more like "OMG, this isn't worth dying over."

And as long as we're talking media experience, the press box food needs mentioning. It's awesome and has a home-cooked appeal to it that is unusual in a press box setting. It is, however, very much a Wisconsin menu. On my first trip I remember looking for some salad and found none, so I asked a young lady behind the counter if I had missed it. She looked me dead in the eye and said quite calmly but firmly and with no sarcasm, "Sir, this is Wisconsin. We have cheese, and we have meat." I realized she was right. The entire bill of fare consisted of meats and cheeses. On Wisconsin, my kind of place. Dip that cheddar cube into the melted swiss and call it wonderful.

2000 - Ohio State 23, Wisconsin 7

The Buckeyes traveled to Madison to take on the No. 22-ranked Badgers and came away with a 23-7 win. OSU tailback Derek Combs scored on an 80-yard run just three minutes into the game, then scored again on a 21-yard run to put the Buckeyes up 13-0 when the extra point was missed. Tight end Darnell Sanders made it 20-0 with a touchdown reception on a pass from Steve Bellisari early in the second quarter. The Buckeyes then coasted home to the win.

The game itself held little drama, but the postgame made up for it.

Many Ohio State players, including captain Ken-Yon Rambo, celebrated the win by dancing on the Badger logo at midfield after the game. The usually raucous crowd in Madison was outraged and the Buckeyes had to be hurried off the field after the incident. In the postgame interviews, the players who participated in the antics claimed it was in retaliation for the Badgers dancing in Columbus on the Block-O at midfield following Wisconsin’s 42-17 win in Columbus the previous year.

Wisconsin quarterback Brooks Bollinger was 19 of 34 with one interception in the losing cause in Madison.

A THOUSAND WORDS

75194_h.jpg,qitok=XkXwhbd8.pagespeed.ce.fUNcbjvok-.jpg


You are looking at a six-year old photograph.

That's nearly 80,000 joyous Badger fans celebrating Bret Bielema's lone victory over the Buckeyes in six attempts. Ohio State had been the top-ranked team in the country for one fleeting week, and this would be the only time it would lose that season. It's the one game from 2010 the NCAA didn't eventually vacate from history. Dicks.

But there's something still fresh about this picture however dated it may seem. It represents the last time Ohio State lost on someone else's home turf without any asterisks involved, as one endless offseason after this photo was taken the incapacitated Buckeyes lost four of their five road games.

The parade of Ls began at Miami, which averages slightly less attendance than a typical Bible study. It continued at Nebraska on an evening that gave us a passing chart for the ages. After falling in West Lafayette, the punchless Buckeyes lost in Ann Arbor for the second time this century and the sixth time that season. Reminder - they've lost four games total since then.

OHIO STATE HAS BEEN UNBEATEN AND IN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION IN 9 OF ITS PAST 10 TRIPS TO MADISON.
