Are the Badgers next man up? Thereby continuing their streak of bowl games.

Per a quick search Cincinnati would have first dibs with the highest APR, then it would be Wisconsin.

Come on Cincinnati.

Marshall has withdrawn from playing Army in Independence Bowl because of number of players in transfer portal, sources said. The game is Dec 28. Because most players have left campus it may be tough to find a 5-7 team to replace Marshall. Bad look by Marshall & Sun Belt

I actually want Wisconsin to go. They should have to feel the shame of taking a bid at 5-7 like we have twice. Plus good chance they would finish 5-8

 

[Whytetale]

I don't want them to have any extra practices. Come on down, Cincinnati!

Tough month for Marshall.

Given their QBs are all transferring I don’t think it matters much in this day and age

UW’s season is over again!


Go Gophers!!

Really too bad for Marshall. It's been a pretty solid program since moving up from FCS, especially in the late 90s/early 2000s and 2010s. Such a large exodus has to be disheartening.

Louisiana Tech (5-7) will replace Marshall & play Army in Independence Bowl, sources said. Marshall withdrew from the bowl because it claimed it had lost too many players to the transfer portal. The bowl game is Dec. 28

I kind of wanted to see wisconsin play a bowl game and then throw fewer passes than Army because no QBs

There's always the risk they might rediscover the run game through that, though.

Marshall just didn't have enough oars in the water...

What a joke.
