A GopherHoler put it best on the game day thread for the last Badgers game. People were perplexed at how WI can be so good consistently and the GHer stated "Richard recruits athletes and WI recruits basketball players"
There's no doubt we could beat the Badgers is just pure physical skills (faster, stronger, jump higher, quicker, etc.). But that doesn't win games. We are just a bunch of misfit athletes who can't put the ball in the cylinder - and ultimately that's what wins games.
This is very true.
