Badger Bits: Rivalry!

Despite what Columbus Radio said that Urban Meyer's said, this is a rivalry game. You have two teams that have traded wins for the better part of a decade. You have two coaches who rub each others fanbases the wrong way. (And before you say anything? Yes, that is what she said.) And while Ohio State's the team with the better record, the Badgers are favored.

And the Vegas Insiders actually moved the line further toward Wisconsin.

This is absolutely a rivalry game. The emotions are high. And while it's not going to be a pure night game like the day where Matt Schabert became a folk hero and David Gilreath punched the Buckeyes in the mouth through the interpretive dance of Kickoff Returns. It is Senior Night. And we're going to have the crowd in a tomato-throwing frenzy.

If Urban doesn't believe this to be as important as the school up north? Tomorrow promises to be very interesting.
