Thanks. I'm really surprised this game isn't on nationally on ABC or ESPN.

If they'd known that Wisconsin was going to lose to Iowa, I think this game would be on ABC.

or nebby losing to Illinois. Who the hell is going to watch that game other than Wiscy or Nebraska fans? I would think that ABC would have the flexibility to switch games on a Monday prior to the trailers, broadcast teams, etc being assigned. That game blows but it is a national blow.

In fact, are you sure it isn't switching?

Yet nonetheless, it's probably the most compelling Big Ten matchup after ours. No?

Nebraska, and Wisky for that matter, have provided some pretty exciting games despite not being currently ranked. That last second Hail Mary followed by another heart breaker for the Huskers. Wisconsin keeping it exciting to the end. On the other hand the networks recognize the Wildcats' penchant for shutouts and they know a close game is going to hold their viewers better than our shutout of the Wolverines Saturday.

100% sure. ESPN and BTN are completely different companies. BTN would never give this game up.

Bump for game day.
