Went to the game on Saturday, and let me jus tsay that it wasn't very impressive on our part.
Buffalo, the team who gave Temple their only win in like 5 years, managed to show exactly how weak the Badgers special teams really are.
Without a punter like Ken DeBauche, who's put all but 30 punts in the endzone for touchbacks, the Badgers would be hard pressed to be in the top half of the polls, if even the top half of the conference. His pinning opponents back has managed to create a huge cover for the gaping hole that exists in our punt coverage unit.
I always love going to games at Camp Randall, and invariably of late we've gone to see not so great teams, but that really just allows you to enjoy the atmosphere more. Sure, I wouldn't have minded being at last year's Michigan game, but there's something to be said for being able to watch the band travel the stadium.
And while we're on it, I'm going to go out and say that there's no place that does the wave better than UW.
And I'm not usually a fan of the wave. Usually it's some knucklehead who's had too much to drink and won't take the hint when he's tried to get it started 8 times and no one is interested.
But the slo-mo, super-fast, reverse and split wave are fun to watch, fun to be a part of and I think the student section does a good job of choosing the moment, so that the wave isn't interfering with watching the game.
Since only 2 teams per conference are allowed in BCS games and Michigan and Ohio State have that wrapped, it looks like Wisconsin is all but assured a trip to the Capital One Bowl. Word is that the reps were at yesterday's game and are just waiting for us to be officially released from BCS consideration.
