Kolek planning to go pro
Pepsi has a few billboards up around town with some football players on them. And the 21 year ban from the Shoe Box is over, so that will help recruiting
They have it. The athletic department hasn’t fully embraced it yet
I should have been more specific . My friend the Big Badger Benefactor was actually saying that they are not embracing NIL.
The difference in recruiting “budget” between Wisconsin and Ohio State is galaxies apart. Even Nebraska has more pinned to it than UW and that should be a concern if they get a guy at HC. Wisconsin has to embrace to new age and understand it’s all about the Benjamin’s with recruiting in football
What part of the SHOE BOX don't you understand? The SHOE BOX in Black Earth, Goddammit.
That makes more sense. They’re making money hand over fist with TV deals and league money, on top of that. As of a few years ago, they had the nations 11th biggest athletic budget. They like to pretend they’re the little engine that could when they’re closer to Goliath
You hit it on the head. I've been watching (and hating) UW football for 50+ years. The reason they like to pretend they're " the little engine that could" is because that sells really well outstate and it's great "cover" designed to explain all sorts of failure over the years. Badger fans outstate are such naive morons. If you ask them, they will tell you that UW football would be as good or better than OSU or Michigan or PSU except that OSU and Michigan and PSU have more money and cheat and have much lower academic standards than the UW------which is all bullchit. Yet they lap it up. This has been the case for decades.
Not all that different from the thought Bo Ryan was picking up guys from the YMCA since everyone else had their hands out.
I know very little about college football but is it conceivable Chryst is fired? How bad is this Wisconsin team relative to preseason expectations? Historically bad? Does Whisky actually think they could get a coach that could compete with the best teams? I don't see it.
Solid win for The Huskers. Could Mickey Joseph lead the team to a Big Ten West title?
Badgers problem is absolute lack of talent. The offense is no different than the one of three to six years ago that was going to BCS bowls. The offensive line is the worst I have seen in a long time and there just aren’t any decent receivers. Kinda wonder if this is what it looks like when you see a program that was built on a decent amount in-state talent but football participation rates in the state are dropping.
The BADgers had 2 yards rushing total, at home, as a 7 pt favorite. I told friends that Bielama will know exactly how to shut down the BADger pathetically predictable offense. And I was right.
Did he learn something since Illinois lost 24-0 last year?Again, this is largely a talent issue - not a coaching one. Chryst didn't forget how to coach offense. He just doesn't have the horses.
Mike Leach runs the same 4-5 plays his entire career. The game isn’t the rocket science people make it out to be.
