Gio Paez plays tomorrow, Don't know if Nolan Rucci got snaps for PSU. Couldn't find any other former Badgers who got snaps this weekend but I'm sure I'm missing someone.

@Jon McNamara concern level?

Haven’t seen a thread on this - I know we had one last year.

Maema Sanborn and Quintez Cephus all getting called out for big plays so far early today.

Maema was impressive on his stuff against the Bears.

OK, thought I'd start a new thread with the SOLE purpose of having a similar discussion about opening up the economy. I think we can stick to the same level of decorum we've seen in the closing thread.
Let's discuss the opening of the economy and what that might look like.

My view is that we'll need to social distance from large gatherings for a while but many industries could go back to work with new parameters at those places of work. I also think that the testing and tracking must be done in order to quell outbreaks. But I'm not paid to think about these things so I thought we could use the Bermuda principal of Badger board intelligence.

Here are some industries that could go back to work pretty quickly due to factors like being outside or not a lot of contact:

Construction
Landscaping
Real Estate Agents
Manufacturing as long as everyone keeps their distance and are monitored

I don't see sporting events, restaurants or much travel and hospitality happening in the next three months though..

Would love another nice thread thinking about getting out of this mess!

Arnett for Latu at backup safety
Wohler in at backup punt return

Is Pauling OK? Is Trech ok?

I have no love for Ohio state, but Oregon is really easy to hate. What a bunch of punks and thugs, and it starts at the top with their head coach.

I'm curious to see how donations/funding that is now funding NIL impacts athletic depts. I know UW Athletic Dept has relied on donations to balance their budget in past, and if this money now goes to NIL, what will the implications be if they are not able to balance their budget. What are the implications? Cut non revenue sports? Reduce $ to support the student athletes (like meals/clothing...). Would football teams quit going to bowl games that don't generate enough $$ to offset the costs? I would also guess it costs a lot more to send teams to the East and West Coast now. What impact will the NCAA lawsuit that came down in July impact individual schools? I believe that was $2.78B that goes to former athletes...Will the pool of money from the new TV deal be enough to offset all of this?

I noticed Marquette offered another class of 2027 in=state prospect in Jack Kohnen from Slinger High School. Is Wisconsin in play at all here. Kohnen averaged 19 points, 12 rebounds and four assists as a freshmen at Slinger and plays for Team Herro on the AAU circuit.

Can the Badgers ride the momentum after get a road win today?

The last 2 weeks, the OL has totally kicked a$$!

Purdue 's defense was suspect, but you could could see them give up in the 2nd half as the OL wore them down.

Against Rutgers, I think the O Lineman were personally offended to a man when the only thing they heard all week was how tough Rutgers was and we had lost that identity.

AJ has definitely got the OL going in the right direction and I don't think it is a coincidence that the offensive production has risen with the improved play of the OL.

I think it's smart that UW is looking at non traditional was to raise NIL funds. Having beer sales + a fee to use the venue for a concert of 55k+ fans is a great idea. While I'm not a huge Coldplay fan...seeing Metallica twice at Soldier Field shows the potential an event like that can create.

Stay tuned
