Althouse: Wisconsin vs. Iowa.

October 23, 2010

Wisconsin vs. Iowa.

"Montee Ball's touchdown with 1:06 left put No. 10 Wisconsin ahead of No. 13 Iowa, and the Badgers defense held at the end to lift UW to a win. A blocked extra point proved to be the difference for Wisconsin."

Bad time management on the other side helped though.; 10/23/10, 6:29 PM

Bielema haters sucking lemons again.; 10/23/10, 6:31 PM
Merglers said...: Awesome ending! Great win for Wisconsin. But I have to wonder, who was in charge of Iowa's time management, Mike McCarthy?; 10/23/10, 6:43 PM

TNelson said...: As a die-hard Nebraska Husker fans, my husband and I breathed a sigh of relief to see this wonderful win by Wisconsin today since we have to play Iowa State next week. The loss to Texas was devastating last week - we squeaked past Oklahoma State today. I love college football - we don't have a pro-team here in Nebraska so Huskers are Kings in football.

Christopher said...: I listened to this on XM. Awesome college classic. XM played the Iowa feed--I agree with one of the exasperated announcers who said the botched time management was the fault of bad coaching.

My Nittany Lions beat mighty Minnesota. Yay.; 10/23/10, 8:16 PM
Mr. D said...: Good for the Badgers -- that's two very good wins in two weeks, which is something they hadn't done before under Bielema. He's making progress as a coach. And I'm especially happy for Montee Ball, the forgotten man in the Badger running back rotation.

And let's give props to my Beloit College Bucs for beating Monmouth 34-27 today. Sub-optimal D-III football, baby!; 10/23/10, 8:46 PM
dick said...: Big Ten football will get interesting next year when Nebraska starts in there. Should make it very interesting.; 10/23/10, 8:57 PM
kjbe said...: Hey, Garage, Bielema's been just ok, until this second big win in a row. Some of us aren't haters, we're just waiting to see if he can get to the next level. Things are looking up, today. Yay!

Did I just hear thunder?; 10/23/10, 9:40 PM
MadisonMan said...: My son and I watched the LSU-auburn game. The Auburn QB is really fun to watch.

Glad to see Bucky win on the road.; 10/23/10, 10:48 PM

hehehe. And 3rd, and 4th....Iowa got out-coached, if you didn't notice; 10/23/10, 11:15 PM
ndspinelli said...: The Big 10 is continually overrated. Year in and year out they play in bowl games against other conferences and lose. This past bowl season[2009/10] the Big 10 finally had a winning record[barely 4-3]. Here's the prior 6 seasons:

2003: 3-5

2004: 3-3

2005: 3-4

2006: 2-5

2007: 3-5

2008: 1-6

Stats don't lie you Big 10 lemmings.; 10/24/10, 7:25 AM
