Top 4 Wisconsin Night games

Ok, I had to shorten the list… as the game has already started. It’s tough trying to get any writing done and watch two kids. Enough excuses… let’s go.

4. Wisconsin vs. Michigan - 2005 - John Stocco goes into the endzone on a QB draw to put the Badgers up for good, 23-20 with seconds to go. I was at this game, so that made it a bit more special for me.

3. #5 Purdue vs. #12 Wisconsin - 2004 - Purdue is up by 3 with less than 3 minutes to go when Scott Starks forces a Kyle Orton fumble that is returned for a touchdown to give the Badgers the win. This one was brutal for Purdue.

2. #23 Wisconsin vs. #3 Ohio State - 2003 - Ohio State came into the game with a 19 game winning streak and lost when the Wisconsin backup QB, who entered because the starter was choked during the game, hit Lee Evans for a 79 yard TD pass with 5:20 to play.

1. Michigan State vs. Wisconsin (in Tokyo) 1993 - Wisconsin won the game and won the right to go to the Rose Bowl. I wish I could find the pictures of State Street in Madison after they won that game. Estimates had it at 30,000 plus in downtown Madison partying for hours and hours.

    Good list. Just a nit pick. Starks took out Kyle Orton, not Brees.

    D’oh. My bad. I’ll correct that.
