I said almost that exact thing at the time. You cant be "better than your record" forever, at some point you are exactly as good as your record.

This tends to be my view. But the corollary to not apologizing for how we won against weak opponents is that I am also not willing to get too excited about a strong showing in a loss to a good opponent. If a win is a win, then a loss is a loss.

The Robb Smith comparison is spot on. So many people where arguing until they were blue in the face about how the problem was the players he had weren't just good enough. He got fired mid-season and replaced with a better DC, and amazingly those exact same players were much better almost instantly.

That type of error is the kind of thing that leads to conspiracy theories about the booth or league office secretly calling down to the officials to overturn it. If we had been on the other side of that against OSU in overtime, that is exactly what this board would think happened.

I was at the game, did someone watching tv get an explanation of how the PI flag got picked up in overtime? I absolutely agree there was not PI, but that cant be reviewed, right? Dont the refs usually confer if there is a dispute before announcing and marching off the penalty? Seems weird to...

Wisconsin poised to have its best week of the season.

I can't believe how many ADs are duped into the idea that you have to give a coach neverending extensions otherwise it will be used against recruits. Whenever one of our football or basketball coaches gets an extension after a bad season, and someone complains about it on the Gopher Hole, the...

Two things can be true at the same time: Cignetti can be showing that there is no magical ceiling that historical doormats in major conference are constrained by if they hire the right coach and it is more likely that a school hires the next Fickel or Frost than the next Cignetti. I would hope...

Seems like this board has two kinds of people: those who ignore facts to dispute that Fleck is doing a better job than Kill, and those who ignore facts to overstate how much better Fleck is doing than Kill did. Fleck's B1G winning percentage is definitely higher with too big a sample size for...

My post didnt say the defense was the problem, nor did it argue whether the 3 man rush was a good idea or a bad idea (though ive shared my thoughts on that elsewhere). I was just answering the question of what we did that was conservative, and 3 man rush on third and long certainly is.

3 man rushes on third and long?

It was stunning to see almost an entire team, coaches and players, all show up as disinterested and unprepared for a rival game against a team that, while we were underdogs, was by no means out of our league. I know not every week is your week, and sometimes you are going to lose one you wish...

Ferentz really is on top of us. They sniffed out the fumbleroosky to the o lineman.

There's no way Ferentz predicted that we would draw up a 13 yard punt. That caught him off guard and he had to scramble.

Did the advanced analytics have us giving up 24 points before we got our first first down?

We just need to find our nektons before the second quarter.

Did we even show up in the first place?

Most explosive play so far when our offense is on the field!

Ive ripped the three man rush as hard as anyone. But if im going to point it out every time it doesn't work, seems fair to acknowledge when it does.

Fairness in savagery, the three man rush just got a stop.
