They have a brutal schedule.....so this could definitely be a really long year for them. They play Maryland next week then get a bye week, after the bye.....
They have a brutal B1G schedule this year.
1-2 million dollar man...looks so far like a wasted investment. There was a reason why no tears were shed at UT when he bolted.
In his defense he can't play D and doesn't seem to have much of a supporting cast....but yeah, certainly looks like they maybe could have put that money to better use.
Makes up for those years where their slate almost always included Rutgers, Maryland, Indiana, Purdue and Illinois and maybe a one game against Ohio St or Penn St and of course us and Iowa.
I'd say that's concerning, but we know Kent State can sometimes be a pain to win against, unfortunately.
Im still trying to figure what Wisconsin is trying to be...my theory is Fickell cant get the players he had at Cinncy into Wisconsin....unless those academic standards have been relaxed. Whatever it is, they've lost their blueprint.
We are starting to get their top linemen, which says something.
Think it’s a relative thing. One you’re nearer to spread offense, mobile players in Cincinnati vs recruiting grounds locally are ground and pound at Wisconsin. So drop in talent plus local recruits that don’t fit your system and you’re having to reach more (see trying to land a transfer qb every year you’re promising the starting job) and you get this. He also has led a regression on defense every year which is the more puzzling part but some may be tied to loss of Leonard. Regardless I think the Brewster comps are actually reasonable. Gets some splashy commits but no one fits a system and you can’t outathlete teams in the B10 or SEC when you’re wisconsins level
They have a week off and then play at Northwestern.
Do you have a source for this figure? Lots of reporting that the buyout was over $40M as of the end of last season. His initial contract, I think, guaranteed 80% of the remaining amount. I would think that if the buyout was reduced from something like 80% to 20% it would be newsworthy, but I haven't seen that reported anywhere and the Wisconsin media I follow routinely argue that he's likely to get another year (absent a catastrophic season) because the buyout is so high. The last figures I saw indicated that the buyout was reduced gradually over time to $8M but that figure was not reached until the end of the 2029 season.
Not surprising to me. Tech is good. They are well coached. Hired the right guy in Key. And King is tough as nails at QB. They are an 8-9 win team. Might win 10 if they pull this out today.
AI told me $8 million. Is it possible that AI is'nt always correct
According to this site, the buyout for the end of this season actually went up to $44M with the new contract extension he signed this year.AI told me $8 million. Is it possible that AI is'nt always correct
UCLA job will be open again by November 1st.
If UCLA doesn’t win at Northwestern, and they might be underdogs if they couldn’t beat New Mexico, they are not winning a game. I don’t see a win on that schedule.
