I prefer the 1999 game in the Shoe, which UW was also down 17-0, before taking the Suckeyes behind the woodshed for a 42-17 road win.  That was a nationally televised game, which featured the OSU crowd turning on their team during the second half, and giving the Badgers a big push in Big Ten play.  The second half was Badger domination, much like the Wisconsin 40-10 victory over Sparty that same season, in which Bucky just manhandled MSU during the first half.  My personal favorite game from the 1999 season was the Badgers victory at Purdue, on November 12th. Ron Dayne had several show-of-force runs while totalling 222-yards rushing in the hard fought 28-21 victory over Drew Brees and the Boilers.  Thankfully, Joe Tiller took the ball out of Brees hands early in the 4th quarter, when he called an option pass, which was picked-off by Bobby Myers in the end zone. That was a huge play in the game, which also included a Jamar Fletcher pick six (Purdue coaches, players and fans must have nightmares of UW players wearing #2 blowing up games), and a blocked field goal by Wendall Bryant.  The following week, on a perfect November day, we all know what #33 did, while the Badgers clinched a Rose Bowl appearance.

On, Wisconsin!
