Blasting Michigan In Record Fashion

By Bill Michaels

Michigan Coach, Rich Rodriguez  AP PhotoTake that Rich Rod and you Michigan Wolverines. Badger fans remember the years that Bo Schembechler and Lloyd Carr pulverized the Badgers and took the opportunities to run up the score. Today at Camp Randall, sweet revenge was extracted when Brett Bielema’s crew drubbed the Wolverines 45-24 on Senior Day.

If you’re a Bucky fan, you’ve got this to look forward to; Scott Tolzien, John Clay, the entire offensive line, Montee Ball, Nick Toon..on and on..they’ll all be back! While I believe that Rodriguez will turn around the Wolverine’s program, that is if the Michigan boosters don’t get restless and can his butt, this is a Badger victory that tastes so sweet. To be a senior and go out at home with a win over Michigan, no matter what the state of the program, you’ll remember this day for the rest of your life. 

#32 John Clay rushed for 151 yards  AP PhotoAfter watching last year’s seemingly insurmountable Wisconsin lead dissipate at the Big House, the redemption felt today is well deserved for Brett Bieliema who has put together a better than expected season. His recruiting classes are starting to come of age, Bielema himself has shown a growing wisdom as the mistakes that plagued this team last year have faded during this 8-2 (5-2 in the Big Ten) quest for a New Year’s Day bowl continues. 

The 45 points hung on the Wolverines today was the most ever by a Wisconsin team. In addition, the Badgers extend Michigan’s pain with their 6th straight conference loss. Wisconsin did it the old fashioned way; they kept grinding Clay and Montee, over and over again until the run game was too much for a weary Wolverine bunch. John Clay racked up 151 total rushing yards. 

That’s called twisting the dagger Bucky! Congrats seniors!

Great win, even better that it was against Michigan. Now if only Ohio State could hire a Rich Rod.
