That's more like it: Badgers win 70-3

Wisconsin won 70-3 in a well-executed, and, most importantly, mistake-free game vs Pile of Electronics State. Every aspect of the team was firing on all cylinders, and freshman RB James White was especially impressive, tallying 4 touchdowns and 146 yards. The Badgers scored touchdowns on their first ten drives, averaging 9.1 yards per play. I'm still wary of this team after the last two games, but this is what I've been looking for. Good teams blow bad teams out of the water.

Game MVP: Barry Alvarez and/or Pat Richter, for scheduling this game in the first place

Tip o' the cap: James White for further proving that he belongs ahead of Montee Ball on the depth chart

Wag of the finger: The Wisconsin second-team offense, for failing to uphold their double-digit touchdown drive streak with 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Preview: Austin Peay at Wisconsin

Since UW is favored by a whopping 43 points in this game there isn't much to preview. So I guess we'll do some edjumacation on Austin Peay instead.

I thought Austin Peay was a Texas School, since they love throwing Stephen F. Austin's name in everything, but in fact it's an old school in central Tennessee that was named after a former governor of TN. The fact that "Leadership" is one of their departments makes me place them on the same level as my hometown's college (ugh). I should probably give it the benefit of the doubt though, seeing as it's been around much longer than a decade. Their men's basketball team has made the NCAA tournament twice in the past decade, only to be stomped by Louisville and Texas in the first round.

Also, their school cheer is "Let's go Peay!". I bet their athletic department's true strength is in watersports *rimshot*

Midweek Scrap Heap

Spurs lost 4-1 to Arsenal in their Carling Cup match. I had this game on while I was working but missed the extra time goals. No big deal, since the last thing this squad needs is even more games. Phil has a recap up over at Yankee Yiddos.

Bulaga may have passed Clifton on the depth chart at Left Tackle. Clifton has been having some knee issues and was benched for Bulaga in the second quarter of the Bills game. Give him some time to recover, and Bulaga some time to develop and this is a good thing for the Pack. Bulaga is the LT of the future anyway.

Bears fans are riding high after their improbable 2-0 start. I love how they're suddenly Super Bowl bound. Chicago media FTW. Enjoy it while it lasts. Remember that Martz, for all his offensive genius, doesn't have Orlando Pace at LT anymore. The Vikings are at 0-2 and but luckily face the suddenly-frisky Lions at home.

The UW-Austin Peay game will be on the BTN national feed (since I don't get 'extra' channels here). The B10 opener against Sparty will be on ABC/ESPN.

Blake Sorenson will pick up most of the playing time void left by Chris Borland's injury. Expect to see more of James White in this week's game. Nick Toon is also close to returning.

Penn State just received a huge donation to start a hockey program. As they will be the sixth Big Ten school to add a hockey program, this means that there are now talks to start a Big Ten hockey league. That would be pretty cool, especially because it would mean watching UW hockey on the BTN.
