WTF - Wisconsin is beating Auburn! southlandshari what is going on?
I have to pull for Auburn, it is my duty as a southerner.

There are those Wisconsiners that I adore :hug: ...

but I cannot let that blind my desire to see Auburn kick Wisconsin's butt!

Is Auburn just lagging, slow to start?

Help southlandshari - give me hope - put my mind at rest and let me know Auburn is still in this. x(

2. hang on to the ball
Don't feed the Badgers.

Which is my duty, as a southerner and a big ten graduate. I gotta pull for my conference over my homeland, right? Then again, they are conference rivals. :shrug:

4. Conference rivals do not matter -- not now!
It is your duty as a southerner to pull for Auburn.

And yes, they should try to hold on to the ball! :thumbsup:

8. As a Minnesota graduate, Wisconsin is the conference rival
but during bowl time I usually root for my conference. I do not feel like a southerner any more, although I was born there. It was kind of a fluke as my yankee parents lived there for seven years.

9. So you should pull for Auburn
and not your conference rival, right?

I am so confused and distressed by the way they are playing, I did not understand your first post.

Sorry x(


And if you are pulling for Auburn, what the hell are they doing?

20. falling before the awesome might of
The Big Ten!! :woohoo:

Just for you, I will root for Wisconsin. The team I root for loses at least 78% of the time. So it is better to have me root for the team you want to lose.

Also, my dad and grandmother went to Wisconsin. I would have loved to go there if it was not for out of state tuition. Plus their economics program is very conservative. I was lucky I got recruited by Nebraska which had a large progressive wing. I did almost no research and it ended up being a program that was ideal for me in a couple of ways. But I wanted to be a 3rd generation Wisconsin alum.

Oof, now Auburn is kicking off to start the 2nd half. That is not good, unless they get a quick stop.

I think they may have had their asses chewed by their coach.

;-)

Look, they couldn't score at 3rd and goal. x(

Field goal will work for now. Still time.......

5. This is Barry's last game.
That, alone, should be enough of an emotional edge.
Ah, another touchdown!!! :bounce:

The news of Sherman's firing is not sitting well... and speculation is that Brett will probably retire now. :cry:

You can't deny us THIS, can you? :(

14. Brett has said that he will not play if Sherman is not his coach...
:( The salute he gave the fans yesterday...and the tears in his wife's eyes pretty much had me convinced then. :cry: I taped the game.

If they hire Mooch, perhaps Brett would consider sticking around.
I need a few days to process all this. :(

19. I hope to GOD they don't hire him. He drove the 49ers into the ground
and I saw firsthand what he did to the Lions...not hiring a quarterbacks coach because his ego got in the way...I really hope they don't hire him. I know they are friends, but...:scared:

15. Well, yeah
I can deny you this. Sorry my Cheezieleader, but I have to pull for Auburn.

Brett is old, it would be very embarassing if he played next year and threw even more interceptions. It is time he leave, go rest and let other young players find their grove.

Sorry about Sherman, but you guys knew that was probably going to happen.

And your guy pulls the helmet off of my guy and my guy gets tossed out of the game!!! :wtf:

43. On Wisconsin!
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Plunge right through that line!
Run the ball clear down the field,
(originally "Run the ball clear 'round Chicago")
A touchdown sure this time.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Fight on for her fame
Fight! Fellows! - fight, fight, fight!
We'll win this game.


On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Stand up, Badgers, sing!
"Forward" is our driving spirit,
Loyal voices ring.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Raise her glowing flame
Stand, Fellows, let us now
Salute her name!

34. Hubby is not happy
He went to UVA but his daughter went to Auburn. But then the 'pede house is double-unhappy. I went to Texas Tech and they just plain forgot to load their game on the bus.

40. I was so fucking surprised my Badgers won that game
In fact I would not have been too disappointed if they lost, since I do kind of like Auburn.

What is going on with the SEC and bowl games today? West Virginia is handing the Georgia Bulldogs their asses tonight!

46. Congratulations, darlin'!
Your team came to play, and mine didn't. It was that simple. Auburn played sloppy, emotionless football from beginning to end, and Wisconsin hit hard, stuck their passes and held on the ball. And they played with great heart for their coach.

I am very happy for all my Badger fan friends tonight!

I was glad to see Barry Alvarez's team win his last game coaching. I will miss him as a coach!

I was also a little sad for my Auburn fan friends.
