Ole Miss not quitting yet

Ole Hornibrook isn't going to have too many completions that go over 20 yards down the field in the air tonight.

Needs better receivers. Only a little more than 30 percent of his yards are after the catch. He’d be better off around 61 like that OSU fella.

(To be clear, I think Haskins is a better QB. But the level of salty defensiveness is oddly, not quite amusing, but interesting to me)

If this isn't a fake, Chryst is an archaic punter.

He is most archaic

Wisconsin hasn't been very competitive against the big three in the B1G East lately.

Two years ago they lost to Michigan and OSU, then lost to Penn St in the Ccg.

Last year they didn't have to play anyone and went undefeated, but then lost to OSU in the Ccg.

Now they are getting creamed by Michigan, and will probably lose pretty bad at Penn St. I don't like their chances if they get to the Ccg.

0-fer the last three seasons.

Hasn’t beaten you mean. 
They’ve been competitive before last night, those four games you mentioned were all by 7 or 6 points. 
This isn’t ideal, but they played right with more talented teams. The 2016 title game really stings. Badgers were up 21 at one point I think. 

Usually UW manges to stay close enough. Felt like it could go that way up til it was 21-7. UW kinda went into meltdown mode. Haven’t seen that for a while. 

I wrote this somewhere, maybe here. UW had five years in a row where the most disappointing team won 11 games despite brutal QB play. We were due a disappointment. I’m annoyed it came with Michigan getting them points, but UM’s offense is top-30 good, UW’s defense is bad and when you get bad Hornibrook (that Michigan forces), it’ll go that way.

Key distinction. I know as a Michigan fan. Whose team hasn't been as consistent as yours but has had at least one CFB-type team, except the dice hit an edge and it didn't show up in the win column.
Competing won't impress everyone (and Alabama, Clemson, UGa and OSU fans have had the luxury to sometimes only be happy with more), but realistically the only way to break through to their level is to first sit in that zone where you're in the race and a tremendous chore to defeat.

That's probably more accurate.
They may be a cut above MSU, but MSU fares better against those teams, probably due to the familiarity of playing them every year.

I think it might be something else, but something super interesting.
So MSU has this fascinating ability to turn big games into weird rock fights and small ones into surprise shootouts. And it means the Spartans have oddly high variance. This year they beat PSU and lost to NW. Or beat OSU in 2015 and lose to 6-7 Nebraska. 
UW on the other hand is mostly consistent. They usually stay close to good/very good teams but win around 25-30 percent of those games and for the most part handle equal or lesser teams. They're actually a good test case for recruiting rankings because their record against better recruiting teams trends toward average, but they're really above average against teams that recruit at the same level or worse. 
And if you look at the team from 2010 onward, this is the second-worst loss (behind 59-0), and the next closest is 18 to National champ Bama, then by 10, twice, in that stretch of 21 total losses.
