Is this the year the Badgers are going to fall back in the Big 10 because the league is no longer weak, or is the Big 10 not strong enough for that to happen yet?

Just want to get you on record before the season starts.

Ummm..... so you're saying that being projected to be 6th or so in the Big Ten is right where you want to be?

Leuer and Taylor are the last two recruits (particularly MN recruits) that Bo was able to land before Tubby, Belein, and Crean took over at their respective posts. Wisky is a two-trick pony this year, plain and simple. If either of those two go down, I'd be nervous.

Don't get me wrong. Bo did just what any good coach would have done. He feasted on the Big Ten during arguably the worst decade in BT history; Indiana was horrendous, Iowa was horrible (still is unfortunately), Minny coming off sanctions and enduring the Monson years, Michigan was considerably below average under the Amaker regime, and even Illinois had a number of years that were substantially subpar.

If you couldn't be successful with more than half the conference in the toilet, I don't know when you are going to be successful. Bo did well, very well, to take full advantage of that. Nobody's arguing that he's not a good coach.

The conference is regaining it's national prominence and things aren't that easy anymore. Things don't change overnight.

LOL, this is the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. Thanks for the laugh. I hope this is just an emotional rant after a hard fought loss. I think you have forgotten about those really Illinois teams and OSU teams that UW beat for conference championships. Not to mention some really good MSU teams. Again, LOL. You're clueless.

Bo is the winningest coach in the history of the B10 percentage wise. He's been doing it at a high level for a decade. As long as he's there, Wisconsin will contend for B10 titles every year.
