Low Five: Wisconsin

I was planning to join Robert in Champaign on Tuesday, but ultimately I decided to stay home in order to get things squared away for an upcoming vacation.

Actually, my wife would argue otherwise. On press row, my emotions would have been held mostly in check. At home - it was a full on rage fest and I was banished to the bedroom TV.

In fact, it’s almost 36 hours post-game and I’m still cranky, so that’s probably going to make its way through the tone of this chapter. There was plenty of self-inflicted punishment from the Illini against the Badgers and that aspect of the game will be featured prominently.

Also, in contrast to the post-MSU edition, I’m not making any promises about the officiating being off limits. I’m not going to editorialize - but these articles are supposed to be the five (or so) plays which most impacted the game, and I’m not sure I can accurately tell the story of that game without going there.

So anyway, how about I quit stalling and get into this “How Did We Lose That Game??!!” edition of “low five”…
