Bowl Game Blogathon 2

Halftime, 11:40 am- Not the first half I envisioned, but there are several rays of hope for Badger fans. First, we clearly have the edge in special teams, and it seems as though the Badgers offense can move the ball. The negatives of course are that the Badgers are losing, they seem unable to tackle, and Donovan very well might die in the second half if he’s not careful. If they tackle better in the second half, they have a very good chance to win this thing.

8:30 left in the 3rd Quarter, 12:18 pm- The good news is that our defense seems to have remembered how to tackle, and I feel better about that. On the offensive side of the ball we have inexplicably decided to pass on almost every down. On a personal confession note, I love the Outback song, absolutely love it. Great return from the Badgers! Now let’s run the football. Yes!! The Outback song, you know you love it.

Game Over. 1:35pm- Badgers lost on a horrific pass. Really a pretty good game and it’s too bad the Badgers lost. The play that will stick in my mind is the 4th and 2 from the Tennessee 12. Why pass? The Badgers just ran the ball down the Volunteers throat, and when thy get to 4th and 2 they run a roll out pass? Seriously? It’s too bad Donovan goes out that way. The play reminds me of a 4th and 1 a few years ago with Ron Dayne when the coaches decided to run an option pitch- that play previously marked the worst play call in Badger history.

Now I am 0-1 in bowl predictions, but things look up for me in the Cotton Bowl.
Calvin 0-1.
Josh 0-1.
