That our new feeder schools are now teams like Kent St, Illinois St, and Alabama St (not actually those schools, but you get the point). It used to be Newport News, Bridgeport, different Florida schools. Sad!

Wisconsin experienced a 40-point swing in its season opener, picking up its defensive pressure and attacking the rim to dig itself out of a 16-point hole to earn a comfortable win. My takeaways

With the bye week, is there anything else going on with Wisconsin that we should pay attention to?
Or even in the country?
Seems like a quiet time…

So I for one was very excited to hear when Brady Collins came to the Badgers. Reading stats on the player speed improvement and being better conditioned for the 4th quarter. Players are excited about the new workouts and the vibe is electric you read. However, I have yet to see this transition to field. Don’t see the wide receivers seperating consistently, backs don’t look to much faster, neither the DL or OL seemed to have shown a stepped improvement. Perhaps it needs more time but I can’t say I have seen an impact. Even Wohlers doesn’t seem to shown me a significant performance impact.

Iowa literally never throws the ball. And we trot out 5 defensive backs and 2 defensive linemen. In the 1st half, Iowa had 3 completed passes and a million yards rushing, and how did we start the 2nd half on defense? 5 dbs and 2 down linemen? I don’t know what to say??? Tressel coached in the BIG before, Fickell coached in the BIG before. How can you possibly think this is smart football? Seriously 4 defensive linemen with 4 linebackers would probably have been the correct defense. I can not remember ever seeing stupidity like this for a Badger football team.

Other dumb shit by this staff
1. Throwing more than running
2. Being complely incapable of figuring out how to use Trech AND Pauling at the same time. And therefore our most dynamic WR against man coverage gets zero catches.
3. Never having motion!!!! If you are going to make your inexperienced quarterback throw so much help him understand if it’s man or zone. Also motioning TEs gives you over loads and an extra blocker already running with force.
4. RPO. Aaron Witt has to cover an entire side of the field by himself!!! Against a fast QB
5. Is there anyone in the effing world who thought what that what we really needed was a Mike Leach offense? Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, ND all run power running offenses balanced by creative passing. Get a coach from these schools!

Does Wisconsin go on the road and get a win tonight at Iowa?

Hey Jon,

Any word on how Mabrey is looking in practice these days? Basically, does the staff think there's any chance that he could be as good or better than Locke right now?

Predictions for today's game against No. 3 Penn State? Is there magic in the air tonight?

Football disappointing again. Trying to grind out 6-6 and a bowl.

Volleyball down by their standards. Swept by Neb tonight. Not hosting second weekend, looks like they get bounced in S16 or E8.

Men’s hockey looks horrible. They are 1-6

Men’s basketball losing to UNI in secret scrimmage and grinding out wins over River Falls. Looks like it could be a long year.

I don’t go to women’s hockey games but maybe I should, need a winner this year.

I remember when we recruited Bulaga, what I didn’t know is that bert wanted him to play on defense which is likely why he ended up at Iowa.
