Down go the Badgers....Wait a Minute.
Down go the Badgers. What an upset today by the Young Illini and the Fighting Zookers up at Camp Randall. It's not easy to win up there and we pulled it off. Wait a minute. I'm waking up now. Not feeling well. Flat-out illin'. Oh, very sick. Dizzy. Severe pain. Ugh! It's true. We lost our 4th game in a row with a complete implosion of monumental proportion. My dreams just turned into another nightmare as my Illini did what they do best - lose.
It really was a tale of two halves. We led 24-10 at the break only to NOT SCORE AT ALL in the last 30 minutes of regulation. The Badgers outscored us in each of the last two quarters by 10 points. Ugh - this has got to end. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. When will we figure out how to win? This really could have been our 4th win in a row. Instead of 2-6 we could be 6-2 and on our way to a bowl game.
What else can be said. We're getting better but need to turn the corner and win a game already. It seems like an eternity since the SPARTY game. Same old story, penalties and key turnovers late in the game were the difference today in a hostile environment. In the last 4 losses, two were by last second field-goals with the other two just being choke jobs on the road at Penn State and today in Wisconsin.
