Wisconsin

Is this, or is this not the week where we open up the Big 10 at home...against Wisconsin, no less?  I ask because the participation has been more lackluster than any other time this season.  Why are we lacking excitement for this game?  I'm just wondering if anyone realizes we are playing Wisconsin this week.  We usually play them as the last home game of the season, but we changed it this year to open up TCF Bank Stadium for the Big 10 season.

As an aside, I'm watching the Hawai'i and Louisiana Tech game on ESPN right now as I type this.  The commentators are debating a possible helmet to helmet hit.  Lou Holtz just said in regards to the helmet to helmet rule, "It is just like the Supreme Court ruled about pornography.  You can't necessarily define it, you just know it when you see it."  At this particular time, the camera happened to be on the announcers in the booth, Mark May, Lou Holtz, and the play by play guy.  Everyone got VERY uncomfortable when Lou said this.  It was unbelievably funny in that awkward way.  Everyone looked to change the subject very quickly.

I know what is happening this Sat at 1100. This could be the defining moment in the season when we look back at it. We need pressure on the QB bc this Wisc. guy looks very good when given time.

I sure hope so—-I am glad it will be on ESPN. I think the home crowd will be a factor. Crucial for the U to get off to a good start to get them into it. Have fun and bring home a win!!
