As kickoff approaches, The Sconnie Scoop takes on a western flavor as we take a look at what is being said in Oregon about th week's matchup with the Beavers.
Much like most teams in the Big Ten, it’s not often that Wisconsin travels during the non-conference portion of their regular season schedule.
One of the many reasons that the city of Corvallis, Ore. is buzzing with excitement as kickoff draws closer and closer.

Cliff Kirkpatrick of the Corvallis Gazette-Times takes a look at what this game means to the Beavers in terms of non-conference scheduling.
Despite the excitement surrounding Saturday’s game, head coach Mark Riley and company have not forgotten last year’s 35-0 loss to the Badgers in Madison.
As Gary Horowitz of the Salem Statesman-Journal points out, the sour taste of last year's loss has been motivation for the Beavers in their preparation for Wisconsin.
There has been a good deal of talk that suggests that the 2012 edition of the Beavers is an improved one. John Hunt of the Oregonian discussesOSU’s chances in the rematch.
