It seemed like a movie. Snow was gently falling, glistening under the lights. It was 2nd and 10 from the 26. Six seconds left in the third quarter. Every Wisconsin fan knows the importance of the end of the third quarter. And there was Gordon, staring at the end zone, as if the Heisman Trophy was on the other side. I didn't realize how significant his touchdown was at the time; most of us lost count at around 300 yards. But God damn it as he rolled into the endzone with the fourth quarter looming, it was the best moment I've ever had at a sporting event, period. Next thing you know J.J. Watt comes up on the jumbotron, telling Badger fans to get pumped for the Jump Around. The song hits and the entire student section goes berserk. There was this sensation that we could do just about anything when Gordon was at 100%, like holy fuck bring on Bama.
Wisconsin will probably never win a football national championship, but last night felt probably just as good. I hadn't been as hyped since the Packers won the Superbowl. Every college football fan deserves to feel like this every once in a while.
@Andy_Staples: http://t.co/4bXilNU6qk has learned that Will Muschamp has been dismissed at Florida. Story upcoming.
Fingers crossed he is our next DC. Don't let this one slip away, Jimbo.

Just read a report saying that Florida set Will Muschamp on fire.

Good riddance to Muschamp. I wasn't impressed with the hiring to begin with, and he's been completely clueless in terms of building a winning team. There's no reason a team this big should have this much trouble with recruiting. He was out of his depth in terms of coaching as well. Yesterday's total collapse shows that.

What's the advantage of firing a coach mid-season?

Word is he resigned. Or should I say "resigned." Basically, they told him they won't be bringing him back.

Gives you first dibs on Charlie Weis.

Michigan called dibs
People forget Muschamp was the coach to get back when he was hired. He was coach in waiting at Texas and had turned down 3 or 4 big time jobs before he went to FL. Anyway I am sure Florida goes for Mullen who would be smart to leave cause things will never get any better than this year at state.
I still remember feeling like Mullen(or Strong) was a no brainer. Surprisingly bad hire from Foley who is one of the better ADs around. I feel like Florida is in the same boat where we should be, hiring proven winners. Dude should've stuck at Texas, Brown was already fading at that point.
I don't think Mullen is well liked in our athletic department. Foley always puts a premium on recruiting too, and he was pretty bad at it. I'd be cool with Mullen, but I don't think it's going to happen.
We should have gotten Strong when Meyer first stepped down. Charlie isn't good with the media, and that's probably why. In retrospect, he would have also brought Teddy Bridgewater and we wouldn't have had four years of QB issues.
Damn you for getting my hopes up by being so good at playing down to your opponents.

fuck that nonsense.
1. Oregon
2. Bama
3. FSU
4. TCU
5. Miss State
6. Baylor
Here's a thought I read from another message board, which is kind of depressing.
Dan Mullen played for a touchdown, but not the win, at the end of the Bama game yesterday because he wanted to score style points with the committee by keeping the score close. This would explain the play calling on that last drive which didn't have any sense of hurry to it all, and, while it did end in a touchdown for MSU, it left them with 12 seconds on the clock and no timeouts.
If this is true, what a sad state of affairs for our sport. I maintain it's idiotic to have a committee decide a 4 team playoff. Should have left the BCS system in place and just taken the top 4 teams there.

I get home from church to see Gata fans' prayers answered.
Charlie Weis is still available, by the way.
On the other hand, Michigan and Florida could negotiate a coach swap.

Come home Dan Mullen
What good would it do you if he made a lateral move to take a job coaching the FCS New Hampshire University Wildcats?
I'm sure Lane's open to another HC chance.
Qualifications must include:
-Head coaching experience, with success
-Offensive minded
Must know defense.

Yep, but you would think with three minutes left in the game, and needing two touchdowns to win, there would have been a shift in the playcalling to throws towards the sidelines or at least past the sticks. Instead, they called runs up the middle of the field.
