Before we get down to Super Bowl business let's preempt some nonsense we'll probably here at various points throughout the day.
Yes Wisconsin fans can claim Russell Wilson.
Yes UW can too.
Yes they should because he almost won them a Rose Bowl.
Yes they should because Russell Wilson became Russell Wilson at Wisconsin after he was Russell Wilson N.C. State quarterback.
Had to get that out of my system. If you spend time on the Internet and/or around obnoxious anti Wisconsin sports fans you will probably hear that at some point. You're welcome for the advanced ammunition.
So it's the Super Bowl The New England Patriots vs. the Seattle Seahawks We already outlined in January how Wisconsin and the Big Ten are running the show as far as the college football angle today. Here's the breakdown of Super Bowl participants by college and conference counting practice squad/injured reserve players in addition to active roster players because dammit we will not forget about David Gilreath and Mike Taylor.

Ode to Russell WilsonMan this season. The way he started the season in that trouncing of UNLV. That freaking Nebraska game. And yes the Rose Bowl. He almost won that damn thing. I still curse The Football Gods for not knocking that Jared Abbrederis fumble out of bounds.
But that's ok. Here's some sweet video
In the NFL Russ was still Russ this season. Some of his passing numbers might've been down but when you factor in his rushing totals you could argue that 2014 was his best pro season.
The Seahawks finished the regular season 12 4 won the NFC West and defeated the Carolina Panthers and Green Bay Packers ( ( ) en route to the Super Bowl.
