Throwback Thursday: Week 11 Wisconsin Badgers

Welcome to the final home edition of our Throwback series as we take a glance at the Hoosiers final game at The Rock in 2012.  The fanfare coming into the game was as high as it has been in the last 20 years in Bloomington.  ESPN2 was in town to televise the game and the game carried postseason implications for both teams, adding to the atmosphere was the forecast that was supposed to be in the 70s.

Why They Played:  The Hoosiers battle the Badgers every year now that they are both part of the Leaders Division.
