On Wisconsin!

It seems like this New Year's Day just keeps going on and on. But nevermind, the bowl games are finally here. Only one today matters--the Wisconsin-Auburn matchup. It matters less because it's my alma mater, and more because it's Barry Alvarez's last game at coach. He's been one of the good ones, and he's brought class along with wins to Madison. The Badgers were supposed to be basement-dwellers this year, so it's a testament to Barry's skill that they're playing on New Year's Day.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Plunge right through that line!
Run the ball clear down the field,
A touchdown sure this time.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Fight on for her fame
Fight! Fellows! - fight, fight, fight!
We'll win this game.


On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Stand up, Badgers, sing!
"Forward" is our driving spirit,
Loyal voices ring.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Raise her glowing flame
Stand, Fellows, let us now
Salute her name!
Go Badgers!

Six pack of what? Actually, I'm concerned about the Trojans in that one--the line is USC by 7 1/2, which seems to overestimate USC's strength by quite a bit. If I were a betting man, I'd take Texas and the points in a heartbeat. Prediction: 47-41 Texas.
