Once again, the Badgers go to the Capitol One Bowl and beat the overhyped-overrated-"superior" SEC Conference by taking out the high-powered Arkansas Razorbacks 17-14.Last year, the critics thought that Auburn was going to rout the Badgers, instead, it was the other way around. This year, the Badgers were underdogs and again, they won. Time and time again, the Badgers are discounted as a poor team, beneficiaries of playing a soft schedule. Come on, it's not like they're playing the Minnesota Vikings every week. Good teams make bad teams look bad, that's a fact.
Other than 2 big, lucky runs by Arkansas, their offense was bad. Those 2 runs accounted for 1/3 of their total offense for the day. The Badger defense did a great job overall of shutting down the gimmicky offense they run. That junk may have worked in the SEC, but against a disciplined, smart, physical unit like the Badgers, it was as doomed as your average brother/sister wedding that is commonplace in Arkansas.
So, anyone still thinking that Bielema was a bad choice by Alvarez?
See you here next year when the Badgers are once again underdogs in a January Bowl game and once again prove everyone wrong.

Maybe the UW football team should play the Vikings. It might be a fun and interesting game; at least the Vikes would be on a more even playing field than they are in all those games against pro teams. Minnesota would still be the underdog in that matchup, of course.
