Got that right. Psychologically, it's a mismatch. UT players have already had their Super Bowl......and came up short.
I think they'd rather be golfing than preparing for this Outhouse bowl, which they regard as sort of a Consolation bowl.
For the Badgers, all bowl games are their Super Bowl....regardless if it's the Rose, Capitol One, Outback, or the Toilet Bowl. They come prepared.
UW: 24
UT : 17
That's what's said every year. Seems they were fast enuf to beat two very good SEC teams the last two years.
trivia: Last year, no SEC team was able to hold Ark to only 14 points, only So Cal & Wisco.
..Im beginning to believe VolNation doesnt have a competitive bone its body.
All I hear is "this game doesnt matter" and as far as a $$$ signs and a championship is concerned it doesnt. But I am sick and got-damn tired of losing to inferior teams in bowl games.
But I know we are big, bad Tennessee we won a National title against a fourth string QB. We are too prestigious to care about anything less than a Sugar Bowl.
As far as the game goes I still think the Vols roll the Badgers by 10 despite the injuries.
here power t,
The vols are going to destroy Wisc. People living in that state should gather their badger gear and compile it in an outside bon fire and prepare it to burn. Their children that aspire to go to Wisc. should begin searching for jr. colleges with cheese eating programs. Competitive cow tipping should become the focus of Wisc U atheletic program. All fans that have any affiliation to the university should discontinue their season tickets as they will certainly become invaluable after the whoopin the vols will lay on them.
In fact, the entire state of wisc should consider changing their name to Tennessee North.
There, is that the passion you needed?
Is that the arrogance that is required?
Is that the type of "Homer attitude" you were looking for?
sarcasam included boys.
Be proud that the Vols are going to win. Hell I am and I am not even an alum, student, or player. They are going to win. Period. Get off the sarcastic negaivity and stop reading into all these posts that display negativity. This is Vol Nation where opinons are welcome and views will differ. Keep your head up and enjoy the holidays! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
Go Vols, gig em aggies, and above all, remember the resason for the season.
I'm out.
Im not saying that Wisconsin is a "big time" team, but I would have to disagree that Michigan would be more of a challange then us. We did beat them this year. Illinois is a very good team THIS year, but to call them a "big time" team after one season is a bit over the top. We are not as fast as we were when we blew past Auburn 2 years ago, but win or loose, I hope UT fans come away from this game with a different view of Wisconsin football. We do like to pound the ball, but we also have some speed to go along with it. I think it should be a good game that could go either way. Have a Merry Christmas!I wish UT could play a better, big time team for more of a challenge. UT has way too much speed and talent for wisconsin. I wish UT was playing Michigan or Illinois.

When that huge Big 10 offensive line starts blowing our thin defensive line off the ball and their feature back is averaging 5.0+ ypc the outcome will become clear. I'd love to see a way for the Vols to win , I just don't see it happining.
