I think I speak for everyone when I say that we’re all hoping the game happens as scheduled. The entire state of Wisconsin is praying it happens.
The matchup against Nebraska was already called off, and we damn sure don’t need another getting canned because of coronavirus.

I’ve even heard from Purdue fans that they’re keeping their fingers crossed we get to play, which is something that would never happen in a normal year.
You know we’re desperate for action when Purdue is pumped to play a game they might normally lose by four or five touchdowns.

The game is slated to start at 3:30 EST on BTN. We’re all praying it does!
