A Wisconsin win today would help Marquette's cause

[Jockey]

Wow. A lot of teams from different states playing each other.

Does this happen a lot?

[wadesworld]

At what point does Georgia decide the cost is worth it to have individual drivers for every single player on their roster?

[tower912]

An opportunity for NIL money for non-athletes.

[CreightonWarrior]

Handing off out of the shotgun only needing a couple feet is a choice.

[HutchwasClutch]

Longo is an overhyped failure

[Herman Cain]

Tide Rollin over Badgers. Announcers claiming Badgers are playing well but Score doesn't show it

[MuggsyB]

Fox needs to do a better job of scheduling competitive games. 

[MuggsyB]

So what would be the score here if UW wasn't "playing well"?  Did an invisible rhino block on that last td? 

[Shaka Shart]

They're playing scared without their usual stroll to the big ten title game

Maybe the committee will take this into account.

Badgers have room for improvement

Hope so.  Wisconsin doing well helps Marquette's cause

3-0 Memphis delivers another blow to FSU's season. Seminoles now 0-3.

Florida post-Urban really has become the place where promising coaching careers go to die.

jimmy Leonard saying, miss me yet?

Who?

[Shaka Shart]

Seems like Wisconsin just hates him! " Leonhard was a walk-on football player at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, having received no Division I-A scholarship offers out of high school.[2] He was not awarded a scholarship until his senior year, despite the fact that he had been a regular starting safety before that season and had already been named All-Big Ten twice."

Graham Mertz started for Gators today. A Badger retread is not going to get your team far in the SEC.

[Herman Cain]

Arch Manning shows some moves and speed on 67 yard TD run. His Grandpa Archie was a flashy runner back in the day at Ole Miss

You mean the Leonhard who spent last year as a special assistant at Illinois and is now the DB coach of the Broncos? The bloom had gone off that rose a couple seasons before Chryst was fired honestly.

Fickell was a no-brainer choice. Deep midwest roots, successful high level defensive coordinator and the only head coach to lead a G5 team to the playoffs. But it has yet to really work. I thought they would be solid defensively at least, but they really haven't. And the Phil Longo experiment hasn't been great either. Recruiting has been OK, but not great. I was skeptical of the Matt Rhule hire at Nebraska, but he has clearly done a better job.

I wonder if UW is dealing with NIL issues. I have heard multiple people mention in different contexts that their entire NIL program is behind their peers right now.  And I think the hope was that McIntosh was going to be a more contemporary athletic director, I wonder if he's still just another dude in a historically inbred athletic department.

They should have rode with Mullen for awhile longer. Napier just wasn't ready for this level.
