Hurray UM wins finally

speaking of which, is anybody else pissed you can't watch the badgers at 10:30 on a saturday night on pbs??? i mean come on

No. I love the idea of the Big Ten Network buying the sole rights to broadcast games and then holding those rights hostage for leverage against the cable companies. It's awesome when the only broadcast of the #7 team in the country is unavailable to a majority of that team's market. Who says college sports is about money?

you would you sick son of a bitch

Yours truly, Scott Campbell, watched the Utes destroy #11 UCLA today - 44-6. That's the biggest upset I've ever been at.

When I saw that score on the bottomline I had to see it come by again to believe it.

Utah outscoring the #11 team by 38 points?

Damn. That's a beating.

It was the first time they've beaten a top 15 team at home since 1973.

??? didn't they run the table in 2003? I recall that they were quite good when Urban Meyer was there.

I think it was 04. They weren't good, they were great. But they didn't play a top 15 team at home that year. Mountian West schools have difficulty scheduling top flight non conference games. Though this year the Utes play(ed) Oregon State, UCLA and Louisville, and that's a solid non conference schedule. When Meyer left for Florida, Texas dropped the Utes from their schedule like a hot potato. They were fortunate to get UCLA as a replacement. Next year the Utes open the season in Ann Arbor.

I wish the Badgers would schedule some tough teams like that.

The guys in Madison really need to start scheduling some tough games. From 2008 to 2010, you know who are toughest Non-Conference teams we play? Hawaii and ASU.

Give me a freakin' break. If you want to play the top teams in the country in January, you gotta beat them in September, October, and November. Scheduling the Citadel isn't going to get you to Pasadena.

They do still have 2 open weeks in each of those seasons and hopefully they can put a tough school on them. I'd love to see us schedule an SEC or Big 12 opponent.

Especially if you have a hard time beating them.

It's not as important for teams in BCS conferences like the Big 10, because their conference schedules are brutal. But I agree, Wisconsin needs to schedule some decent non conference teams.
