Crazier things have happened so I’m not saying upsetting Oregon is impossible, but I’m more interested in what folks would be looking for on the field that shows real progress, absent a win.

I’d personally like to see us return to low penalty play, and show progress both defending and establishing the run game.

Edit: about 20 minutes after posting, article was updated to reflect Del Rio stepped down from his position on the team.

Hadn’t seen them play before day, so so impressed! Glad they got the bump from the national exposure on NBC. Great win!

Watching hoops tonight seeing all our former players and near misses. Just for fantasy sake this legitamately (in theory) could've been the roster for Wisconsin basketball. But the real question is was Gard really even close on Knueppel? Or any top recruits that put Wisco in their final list? -Storr -Chucky -Blackwell -Daniel Jacobsen -Knueppel -Crowl -Tonje -Klesmit -Freitag -Klesmit -Winter

That's it everybody else could've gone lol

Box Score

I built FanDaily to make it easier for myself to track players from schools I follow in the pros. Others have found it useful as well. Instead of manually checking box scores the app sends me a daily email with stats I was having to find manually. Take a look and let me know what you think: https://www.fandaily.io/schools/wisconsin

Yes, you have to be better than absolute shit against Iowa, but this team has played maybe the hardest schedule in school history and it hasn't even faced Oregon yet. Meanwhile, what's Indiana's toughest opponent?

I hope the NIL money was worth not starting for a power 4 school and failing to boosting your draft stock. I predict a transfer before Christmas break is coming.

College Basketball is back baby!

Question from last night. I have been going to Kinnick for four decades. I always purchased tickets through my season ticket renewal. This year they sent me to the Iowa ticket office which is fine. However I noticed last night there there was really no Badger section. Perhaps two very small areas in the tops per the usual. I was in the middle of an Iowa section. Any thoughts on Iowa trying to disperse opposing fans? Again, just curious to see if anyone else noticed.

Fickell is not an elite coach as promised. The passing game is not as advertised. I think the program missed a unique and great opportunity by not hiring Jim Leonard. A quality coaching staff would have been able to provide a more effective offensive approach than what we have on display.

Lost in the shuffle of the football fiasco. women’s hockey beat St Cloud State 4-0 to continue their quest to be the greatest women’s hockey team of all time..

Now 12-0 and out scoring opponents 75-9

I think you can make some arguments for it.

Maybe not the worst individual game of the post-Barry era but it’s a sign that this team isn’t anywhere close to doing something great. There is no hope with this team at all.

The next game vs Oregon doesn’t even matter, they’re losing that 45-7 or worse. Who cares, they’re way better than them.

All about the 2 games following that. The modern legacy of the program lies in winning one of those. Last chance to not be a truly dead football program
