Yeah, what the heck happened there anyway? I never saw a good replay and the ball was so far out of bounds that the Wiscy sidelines all started running for the locker room cause they knew it was over. Weird that they didn't show the replay...

seemed to be the company policy that day, they weren't showing flag replays for the um or MSU games either.

Listening to that stadium erupt after Smith catches the pass never gets old. Can't believe how many times I've watched that clip.

My father and I were so ecstatic that we immediately starting jumping up and down and knocked each other onto the bleachers.

We've beaten 2 ranked teams in a row and are still out of the Top 25?
Sounds like a little prejudice going on in the voting.

3 losses will do that to you. Only one team with three losses is in the top 25 and they lost to the now #1 team in the country.

My mom and I were hanging out in the bar at the TGI Fridays in Hotel Breakers at Cedar Point to watch the game, and I was having a fun time until the 3rd quarter when a friend was badgering me to come back into the park and ride rides. My hand was kind of forced, but my mom kept me updated and I was either cringing in pain or jumping up and down with every text.

NEVER allow yourself to be badgered during a Wisconsin game.

Interesting thing about the Formation Breakdown:

Even if you factor out the 57 yard run by Boom and the 44 yarder by Braxton, the Pistol formation STILL provided more yards per carry than any other.

Just when I had thought the Pony formation was removed from our playbook...

Blackeledge stated that the holding penalty was called on the opposite side of the field -- you may recall the call, "...the flag came from the referee on the other side of the field field..." No idea where the face mask was called.

Do know that Hank's jersey should have been in tatters from the way the Wiscy center and guards kept grabbing cloth ... and no calls. Simon looked like someone was trying to give him a wedgie every other play.

Auburn is still ranked in the AP..... Fucking SEC nut huggers.

I can't stop watching this game.

When Russell Wilson threw the pass to Nick Toon down the middle of the field at :05, the crowd went dead silent and someone let out a blood curdling scream, then CJ knocked the ball away and the crowd went psycho.

This game will never get old.

 

[Best Buckeye]

Beating Scum year after year, beating Oregon, Arkenhoggy, and now Bucky....It just don't get no better.

 

[Wells4Heisman]

Unfortunately I don't get to make it to a lot of games but I couldn't of picked a better game to get to.

Still undefeated in the Shoe with a 7-0 mark, I'll remember this game for the rest of my life. An instant classic.
