Wisky will likely sweep unless the Aggies can play a seventh woman at the net.

Badgers sweep

Hmm. 13 is bad luck in the western world. 4 is bad luck in Asia. TAMU is the 13 on the 13th. The game is not at 4.

Badgers!

TAMU for the win

I think there is some danger Nebraska fans will snatch up at least as many tickets as Badger fans. They are a highly motivated and dedicated fan base.

There are a fair number of WI ticket holders who are boutique fans.

We better hope the 1 pm start won't deter the season ticket holders from buying. After all Nebraska fans were traveling already, so they were prepared for a Friday vacation day.

Indeed. How they could forget 2001 and 2003 I do not know.

2001 was particularly painful.
