That is painfully clear right now. He had us trending down every year. Despite his recruiting accolades, its clear he had no talent. The players sucked last year and they suck again this year. He tore down the wall around Wisconsin and began losing kids. He should have been fired much sooner when it was clear he didnt care about having recruiting department, he didnt care to fire his buddies (haerring) and never hired coaches to advance the kids careers. I mean he had Joe Rudolph as OC for the longest time. Joe Rudolph is the worst college football coach of all time and shouldnt be coaching OL let alone the entire offense. Inexcusable. We are in such a shit postion because Paul Chryst and all his drunk media friends covering for him. Thankfully we have Fickell going forward. I trust him to rebuild a hell of a lot more than Chryst. I think we all overestimated this roster greatly.

Predictions for today’s game?

Locke and Burkett listed at QB.

Badgers just outside the top 25

@donnieslusher and @Seamus Rohrer are headed to the Kohl Center in a few minutes to cover the Red-White scrimmage. They will provide updates throughout the afternoon in this thread.

This is one of those report cards you hide from your parents...

If Gard was fired, who would you want as a HC? A guy who pushes the tempo? A defensive minded HC? A recruiting wizard? The reason that I ask this is, how many years would you think that it would take to turn the program around? Do you think that it would be a 1 year turn around? 2,3,4 year? This is what LK and his staff are doing. They are taking a smash mouth team into a pass heavy team. Give them time. If 3 years into it, we're still at the same level, flame away, but please give them time

If you are going to buy Depends, please use them responsibly!

All week UW and Iowa were a laughing stock in the national media and the Badgers were somehow worse. After all the promise of the air raid, this offense is still a joke. It’s not that hard to have a competent offense in college football.

This is the first time I have considered giving up season tickets. There is nothing exciting to watch and the stadium atmosphere is dead. Better ways to spend time and money.

For all of those who think Chryst should still be coach after this, just look at the year Mertz is having. Pretty damn good. Had 423 with 3 tuddys and no picks today. He was totally misused and abused here. Even though the season is not going how we hoped, it was still time for a change. We don't have the personnel to run the Dairy Raid yet. And I think it's safe to say that Tressel may not be it. Definite downgrade from JL. Bright side is we are modernizing and should see positive returns in the future. Our team quit on our coaches last year. Lots of the same dudes. Gotta continue to turn over the roster and get guys who have the fire and the want to. No more complacency, no more entitlement. Work in progress. More work and more progress needed than anticipated. Still confident in LF.

Coming from Camp Randall...
Air out of the balloon...
Season ticket interest..
Big donor interest...
Goals for the season....
Hope for the season with a bu QB...
BA gotta be the softest 245 lb back ever.l, his draft prospects dropping like a rock...

That ...... Was ...... Awful. PERIOD.
NO improvement from this team, coaches and players. Color me completely unimpressed.

It's been a long time since I've been to a Badgers game. Can you still find lawn parking near the Camp Randall or where would you recommend we park?
