Do Wisconsin fans still think they beat Arizona State a decade ago?

I usually try to wait for at least one loss before I start griping about a team.

Don't poo poo the silver linings. Missing the NCAA tournament last year set the stage for our dramatic playoff victory in the first round of the NIT. Haven't been to a game yet this year, maybe I should go when they schedule the banner raising ceremony.

That's true for all sports decisions. I don't care if a coach makes a decision I don't like as long as they execute it well. At the end of the day, I hold the coach responsible for wins and losses, not whether they make decisions I agree with or how much I like their recruits.

I think Coyle would text his wife to tell her how much he wants the basketball team to make the tournament. And then ponder how a coach who did such a good job blowing him away in the interview is having such a hard time on the court.

I'm not worried about the optics for other coaches. I hope any coach we get would assume that the performance we've gotten in the last 3+ years is unacceptable and fireworthy. I was more worried about the optics of firing Tubby. That sent the message to potential coaches that "if I take the...

I went with a B too. I always struggle with how to grade a season with a Medicare win total but lots of meat left on the bone. Coaching staff deserves credit for having us in all those games, especially Penn State, but also deserves blame for not closing more of those opportunities due to...

There might be more fans in line for a urinal at halftime than their have been at the Barn.

He did accurately identify UCLA as being in Los Angeles at the media day.

Whatever culture problems the U itself has, we know from the Tubby years that winning at least 42% of your conference games and making the tournament halftime time is achievable here. And that would be night and day better than what we've been getting.

Tubby level success has to be achievable. We fired him in a year we went to the second round after making the tourney 3 of 6 years. If that is worth firing a coach, the bar has to be higher than that. I don't want to hear about NIL and the new environment as a ceiling until we are...

UNC is an easier place to win because the ACC is now clearly in a tier below B1G and SEC. It would also be easier to win at South Dakota for the same reason.

The glass doesn't have to be close to half-full to be optimistic enough to think it is possible for us to be better than 25.4% in conference.

If we keep winning these close games, we will be battle tested when the conference season starts.

We're still in this game!

From my seat it looked far out of bounds. I feel like "uncatchable ball" on pass interference is one of the most inconsistently officiated concepts in all of sports. Even if the call was BS, there's no rule that says we have to give up a big play on the next snap. That 15 yards was frustrating...

Once we got to 4th and goal at the 8, I was fine with the decision to kick. I was more frustrated with how we used 1st, 2nd, and 3rd down to get to stuck on the 8 yard line on fourth down. Also, if the special teams would have been more alert and prepared on the fake, we would have gotten the...

Now that they are bowl eligible, will their delusional fan base argue that they got jobbed out of a CFP at large spot by the committee?

It's definitely a double standard. Every time we lose, it is a sign of everything that is wrong with us. When one of the teams Bonin thinks is really good, it's just one of those things that happens in hockey even to good teams. It's like hearing ESPN talking heads discuss losses by top SEC teams.

Went with a B. Given how lopsided the game was expected to be, i thought our overall gameplan was good on offense and defense. That trick play touchdown pass was well designed and well timed right after the PSU punt that was so bad it should have counted as a turnover (couldn't tell from my seat...
