Badgers replace FIU's lost uniforms; game will go on

ESPN.com news services

Florida International arrived in Madison, Wis. around 5 a.m. CT a little short on sleep and a little light on luggage -- the Golden Panthers' jerseys did not make the trip.

An ESPN crew reported that the team asked if their game against Wisconsin -- scheduled for 1 p.m. CT Saturday -- could be pushed back while the misplaced threads were located, but the Badgers refused. Instead, the host school bought generic black jerseys, complete with numbers screenprinted on the spot to match the appropriate players, and sneakers from a local sporting goods store to help outfit their opponents.

Though the numbers will match, the players' names will not be on the back of the makeshift uniforms.

The Golden Panthers' actual jerseys may arrive by halftime, and the team would be allowed to change before the second half begins.

Did the jerseys arrive at halftime, what was the final score, did they get Nike shoes?

did the Badgers refuse because of a TV deal or something?  Whatever happened to colleges supporting another one?  Not exactly a good thing by Wisconsin.  It would have been great if FIU won in the borrowed jerseys.  I'm guessing they still lost though.......

And yes, they lost to Wisconsin.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
