Wisconsin 2018 Season Thread

[847badgerfan]

AJ Taylor and Kendric Prior were very good last year. TE's Penniston and Neuville will be productive, as will RSF TE Ferguson.

There are a few more WR who will certainly contribute this year. TF Aron Cruickshank will surely be one of them.

[FearlessF]

you've got Scots with crooked legs that can play WR?

Losing #1 for a good reason and #2 and #4 for a bad reason would be tougher on Hornibrook than he spent the offseason expecting.

[847badgerfan]

I agree with the premise, but going in to last year, other that Fums, nobody outside of UW fans really knew any of those guys on that list you have there.


One other guy UW fans know is WR coach Ted Gilmore. He's really good.

[FearlessF]

Teddy could possibly be a bit better as a life coach

[847badgerfan]

I'm guessing he wasn't in the apartment when that stuff went down, nor in the bar that let an underage kid inside, nor waiting in the car when he got out.


Can't keep on eye on everything. If this were a common thing, I'd call it a culture problem. I think this is the first incident for criminal charges against a UW football player since 2007.

[FearlessF]

agreed, trouble has not followed Coach Gilmore

solid coach at UNL and other stops as far as we know

[847badgerfan]

Stop. Think. Don't.


Those are my words for college boys, when it comes to drunk college girls.

Last I recall was Kraig Appleton in 2010. I think Maurice Moore flipped a car while drunk driving the year before.

(Appleton might not've been an arrest because of circumstances)

[847badgerfan]

What was it that Appleton did again?

[Honestbuckeye]

Wisconsin has done an incredible job through the years of running a good program and keeping the kids in line.  

You can’t be 100%,  too many kids and coaches, too many uncontrollable situations.   Badgers have come close though.  

[ELA]

Appleton had a number of issues, troubled kid, IIRC.  He was suspended once, then kicked off the team, then not long after getting the boot he was back home and got shot.

[847badgerfan]

Yep, he was interesting. Honor roll, albeit at East St. Louis HS, but still.

Anyway, yeah, he was never charged criminally but dismissed anyway. The other kid mentioned got a DWI and I don't think was back with the team the following season.

Say what you will about BB. The guy ran a pretty clean ship.

[SFBadger96]

Ooh, ooh, ooh, let's start saying some stuff about BB again!!
