I really have a feeling Ainge is gonna break out and have three bombs over 50 yards!
and he'll have over 350 yards for the game and 4 td's.
and we'll all be pissed at him and the coaches because we'll be wondering why we didn't do it all year..
That's EXACTLY what's going to happen.. I feel it comin..
Another meaningless bowl game against a slow methodical run team.
Run only teams like Arkansas and Georgia (at the time) were shut down by our Defense. ... If Wisconson cannot run then they will lose big.
I agree the D plays good against run only teams.
All Wisconsin has done all year is run run run.
Wisconsin's offense for the season was 51% pass, 49% run. The SEC obviously has a different definition of "run only" than the Big Ten.

You also have to realize that the seasons after those losses we were replacing a lot. Next year we will have alot coming back. It will be hard to replace EA (yes, I know what he did yesterday but overall he was a pretty good QB) but we have alot of experience back so we will be fine next year.
I am a Minnesota alum, and when we beat Alabama in the Music City Bowl a few years back, our band played Rocky Top to stick it to them as the clock ran out. We're looking for some of the same when you beat the Alabama of the North in the Outback Bowl. If anyone has any contacts on/with the band, get them to play the Minnesota Rouser, the sconnies will hate it.
fyi - Minnesota v. Wisconsin is the oldest rivalry in college football.
