It only gets worse for Bucky

[GGGG]

What's he doing now?

My understanding he's in sales of some sort.

[Golden Avalanche]

Huh?  What's the timeframe for someone who has "maintained?"  Seems like he's maintained at UVA just fine to me.

Timeframe for patience is directly related to the rationality of the fanbase.

I am actually amazed that the vast majority of former athletes from high-major revenue sports programs aren't in sales of some sort.

I blow off 99% of the sales people that try to get an appointment with me.  But if I ever got a call from a person who said, "This is Juan Anderson, and I'd like to talk to you about your photocopying needs", I'd probably meet with him.

I got a call (a referral!!) from a former semi-decent NFL player who was pitching a financial product that was no doubt a complete dud.  He must have said his name five times.  I did not meet with him.  He got real incredulous. He didn't come out and say "do you know who I am?", but he definitely implied it.

One of my old coworkers about 7-8 years ago was from Monroe, LA.  Dad played football at LSU, he played baseball at Ole Miss.  I was joking about the Bama QB at the time not getting drafted.  His response was great...

"Who cares, he's from SEC country.  He needs to open a car dealership, doesn't need to know crap about cars, but just toss a picture up with his name and shaking hands with Nicky Saban and he'll be making more than he would be holding a clipboard in no time."

And he has a point.  You are a standout player at UGA/Bama/Auburn/etc... set up shop nearby in cars, insurance, brokerage, etc...  and you're set.  Its remarkable.

What they are smoking in Buckyville, i.e., actual quotes (and not teal) from their board:


"First, I think we're all missing an opportunity to see Happ evolve as a Ryan Evans' type point guard next season."

"I think they have enough right now and see no reason they can't be a top 10 team next year"

Purdue 23 Wisconsin 4 at the 10 minute mark of the first half.

Can go from Happ grad transferring to Kobe King transferring at getting 4 years of eligibility?

27 to 8 with less than 7 to go in the first half.

I knew things would be bad this season (like middle of the pack Big 10/ bubble team bad), but I never dreamed they would be this bad, this soon!  I felt Gard would be given a pass for this season, and fired after next, but I no longer see Barry waiting until 2019 to act.  I hope they keep him around as long as possible.  Even when MU had a couple lean years, we had hope.  There is nothing in the pipeline to be excited  about.  HS recruits should run from that dumpster fire.

Top ten team?  They have this entire bunch coming back next year and NO incoming recruits.

I think 94Warrior is right.  Gard gets a pass after this year, but if something similar happens next year, he is gone.

yes but they say if they had their 2 injured players they would have won all these games

[Stretchdeltsig]

The Rodents are pathetic.   Watching Purdue dominate them, shows they only have one Division I player.  They just have no talent.  Gard better recruit or he is history.

tbh if I was a uw-madison fan, I'd be concerned about the lack of development and/or trust in some guys that I thought should have been making a bigger mark this year... (including Alex I.)

[Lennys Tap]

Purdue 78 UW 50. 7 turnovers each for Davison and Happ.

[GB Warrior]

How much longer until this stops being funny?

[TSmith34, Inc.]

We know from trollfair that Purdue will NOT be celebrating drubbing a bottom feeder at home.

[Dr. Blackheart]

How much longer until this stops being funny?

108 years...

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Never. Wisconsin could lose every game for the next ten years and I would still enjoy each one.

[94Warrior]

Stop being funny for Bucky fans or MU fans???   As an MU fan, I will enjoy this for as long as possible.  The UW Final 4 yrs were hard.

Heath Schuler was a classic example.

Mostly because after catching lightning in a bottle with Kaminsky, UW fans decided they were Duke, Kansas, and Kentucky rolled into one and forever would be.

When I saw the spread was Purdue -14 at Home,  I had a little extra left in bovada, now I have a little more extra 👍👍👍

Bro get outta here with that garbage.  Don't you know they don't do rental players?

Ah, good point.  They were the Morally Superior Duke, Kansas, Kentucky rolled into one.
