^ that's the biggest shocker to me in this whole ordeal with Wisconsin- is how their OL play seems to have fallen off a cliff. they were the gold standard for OL play in the B1G for decades....

Well, O'Neil did leave the Maryland game dinged up--leading to the 3rd stringer qb'ing the garbage time touchdown.

He's going to be running for his life out there, making bad choices under pressure, and--yeah, to 847Badge's poing--isn't likely to make it through the whole game.

Story in today's Milwaukee paper is about the sign stealing game four years ago and how basically no one on the Badger team then cares. That tells you a lot about how much hope the Wisconsin crowd has--no current football story on the Thursday before a game against one of the traditional helmets.

The kids are going to get fired up in the locker room, yell with each other about shocking the world, play the first two series with a little extra pop, and quickly deflate into the recognition that they are not ready to compete in the B1G.

I couldn't agree more. It's what I always liked about following Badger football. Guys like Ron Dayne would get so much love, but when you really paid attention, the guys in the trenches were unreal. Then the Browns drafted Joe Thomas and everything about that guy was just a straight class act and was a pretty good reflection of all of the Badger fans on CFN too. Too see them with a program deficient on the O-line is just weird and feels out of place.

Sure does.



I think what's so frustrating about this is that if it were year 1 or 2, and you could look at the team and think, well, he just doesn't have the guys yet to run his scheme, there could be room for some forgiveness. But in year three, there is no consistent through line for this team since his first year. Who knows what he wants them to be? I sure don't, and I'd really like to. But it doesn't seem like he knows, either. He's fired his OC midway through season 2, so they are running a different offense. He's instructed his DC to change the look on the D, so while it's the same coaching staff, it's a different defensive look. So he tried one thing, it didn't work; now he's trying another; it's not working. What's next? And why should I have any faith that his third idea will be any better than his first two?

The air raid idea was really bad for Wisconsin. I think ickell (he lost his F) thought ongo (lot his L) would adapt his concept with Wisconsin's identity and run a power run offense out of the air raid concept.

It didn't go like that - ongo hated Braelon Allen and held him back until ickell put ongo on notice that Allen needed to be fed.

ickell wanted to fire ongo at the end of 2023 and was told he couldn't. How f'ing dumb does that look now?

Michigan WR Fred Moore no longer on the football team. can't say I blame him for trying to RS and hit the portal. it is a complete joke that through 4 games he never got a shot while they continued to trot Semaj Morgan's trash ass out there as a starter and kept letting Butterfingers Goodwin go out there and drop multiple passes a game. 

watch him go somewhere else next year and ball out. lol.

Air Raid at Wisconsin with a 240 lb athletic freak RB like Braelon Allen was like watching Brady Hoke trying to turn Denard Robinson into a drop back passer. Coach just asking to get fired. 

Wisconsin needs to get back to what made them a consistently good program for 30 years. Trench warfare with future NFL OL's and NFL RB's. Pound the rock on offense play stingy on defense. That shit works. And it always will.
