That thought process is what the “going 1-0” narrative tries to combat. Previous results are things to learn from and I don’t know if the same lessons would have been learned if they had “gotten away” with certain wins. Butterfly effect and all that.

I thought I could, but probably won’t be able to. 11AM the morning after Thanksgiving is just hard, hopefully after this year it goes back to Saturday evening.

Hard to say what happens with Oregon after this season. They’ll probably still be very good, don’t get me wrong, but they won’t be the same team that they are this year. Lots of people ruled out @ Michigan and Penn State this year and for both we came a play or two away from potentially winning...

I’m so sick and tired of this narrative, that’s not how football works. It’s fun to fantasize, but who knows what lessons would or wouldn’t be learned or what motivation would be gained or lost depending on which games we won or lost. This has been a very fun season, and I wouldn’t trade the...

We went four games straight without a turnover, so we can definitely avoid big mistakes a lot of the time. But yeah, I get what you mean. At any rate, I'm cautiously optimistic for next year. Schedule is very favorable, should be a good way for Lindsey to lean into a starting job that he I hope...

Onto the next.

Even if one were to take this thread seriously, why the hell would Fleck want to go to WI? That move would make no sense on any level. Lateral move to a program that if Fickell is fired would be in internal turmoil versus a program that Fleck has been at for 8 seasons and brought to a stable and...

I think right now it’s still a bit too soon to judge. So far (excluding covid year) he’s had 1 exceptional season, 2 above average seasons, and 3 average to bad seasons (his first 2 and 2023, all of which I think could have been worse for what they were). This year, depending on how things land...

This is just football, at the end of the day. USC, UCLA, Illinois all could have been losses and UNC, Michigan and Rutgers all could have been wins. Sucks that we couldn’t pull it out at the end but I’m still optimistic about the season going into the bye. Still have a chance to knock off Penn...

Athan’s best game since 2022 Wisconsin

I've been doing a lot of idle thinking ahead of our game against Rutgers in regards to how Athan being at the helm might affect the result. Something along the lines of his former teammates and coaching staff being aware of his habits or how he plays and taking advantage of that, or the shoe...

Super tough question. I plan to be at both games, and my gut tells me I would rather go 8-4 with the axe than 8-4 with what would be seen as a choke loss against a hated rival. Especially if it means stripping the BADgers of a bowl berth.

Our pass defense is already great, and Athan hasn't changed an awful lot from his days playing for the Gophers. I suspect he'll have a difficult time throwing the ball and will have to rely on the run and become one-dimensional. At that point, it's just about offensive performance and...

PJ is improving substantially as a coach.
