Northwestern @ #19 Wisconsin, Sun 10/4, 1 PM CT

[rainbowbadger]

Northwestern comes to Madison in the hopes of splitting their week. After starting the conference season aggressively, with a pair of sweeps during their Big Ten buy week against Rutgers & Maryland, the Wildcats struggled Wednesday evening against the Gophers.

Wisconsin's conference season started the opposite, with two losses on the conference's most challenging road trips, followed by an authoritative win over Illinois on Wednesday.

This will be the only meeting of the season between the Badgers and the Wildcats.

The big question: The Packers play the 49ers in California today. The game kicks off at 3:25. Will that impact attendence?

Well, it wouldn't affect my attendance. Northwestern actually gave Minnie some trouble despite the sweep. I think they may be better than most give them credit for. I don't much about how the wilacats run their offense these days.

[badgerbreath]

bumping this because there are now two threads.

The Packers will destroy the niners. I will be at game. Packers look good. They were favorites to win sb at beginning of season and I see nothing thus far that changes that idea. I can't believe both Bay Area teams passed on that cal product. What was him name again? Rodgers I think. Hahahahaha

[rainbowbadger]

Today I am looking for the Badgers to play with intensity every single point. I think they can stil win if they slack off a bit, but they need to reinforce the practice that 100% intensity is required at all times in the Big Ten.

Decent looking crowd for a Sunday, including students.

It must be a team day or something, along with the football ticket deal, as I'm seeing a lot of what appears to be teams.

I'm hoping my feed isn't as choppy as last night.

Looking forward to watching this on BTN.

Oh, sure it will be on. What else do they have on a Sunday?

[badgerbreath]

Wow, Sheff sounds like he's as bad off as me with the cold right now...

Badgers win set 1 and lead 12-7 in set 2.

This started at 1pm and they are halfway game 2 in 19 minutes?

[rainbowbadger]

Duello serving for Gilly! Two points off her serve, and Chan calls TO.

What the heck are you smoking? Or are you just being a tool? It's 17-11 in the 1st.
