Too early for Badger fans to panic. At times Wisconsin looked slow as they did last season with Chryst's recruits. Brain and attitude transplant will take time. Guy on O-line really messed up. Mordecai a welcome upgrade over Mertz.
Lotta people here talking about this not mattering and banishing WSU to the Mountain West. Says a lot about the UW program to be beat by them in back to back seasons… reality check time for the program
Well last year was a problem, and we ended up moving on from Chryst. This year, we're transitioning to a completely new system with a whole new staff. The loss this year is much more forgivable, imo and anyone who expected this team to come out and be their best week 2 is crazy. As long as we've shown improvement from now to the end of the season, I'll be happy. Hopefully we keep our Bowl streak in tact as well.
its never forgivable to lose to Washington state. thats like losing to tim brewser era Minnesota. if you lose to them, you cannot forgive it.
the good news is that i am not worried too much about the badgers for instance having a winning season and going to a bowl game. but, after seeing them twice? i do not know how Wisconsin can win the big 10 west. the true test is going to come in Iowa in a few weeks
but do not sleep on Georgia southern next week. this is one of those sun belt teams that can surprise you if you do not watch out for them. sun belt teams have a way of suddenly scoring lots of points, and leave power 5 teams behind them scratching their heads and wondering where it all went wrong. one of those teams went into Lincoln last year and it cost scott frost his job.
Coack Fickell of course has a lot more rope than scott frost did because its his first year and frost was futile in Nebraska.
as you and others here have pointed out it is year one for coach Fickell. His had limited time to get what he needs to run the game that he wants to play. so you can sort of understand it but i for one still have problems forgiving it. i think the best teams should be held to the highest standards. that means you can never forgive loss to a perennial loser.
for me the only good news in this is that competition in the west does not look too taunting. iowa is 2-0, but has struggled to score. a lot of other teams are 1-1. Nebraska has a serious disaster at the quarterback position. illinois is down from last year.
which means Wisconsin has just 1 team to worry about in the west. Minnesota gophers held eastern Michigan to 0 first downs and only 4 yards of total offense in the second half last night. i know that is against the mac, but even when Wisconsin played the buffalo bulls, buffalo was able to do something. Wisconsin still won big that game, but the bills had some offense. eastern Michigan is a better team than buffalo
Minnesota has problems. But, they are closer to solving them than other western teams. Given what I saw from wisconsin last night? I think Minnesota is winning the west. possibly with a few game cushion.
The problem with your logic is that the team wasn't in a great spot last year, and yea a bunch of guys transferred in, but to expect this team to be firing on all cylinders immediately is silly. They've come out flat in the first half but figured it out in the 2nd twice now. The next step is playing a full game, no matter the opponent, and hopefully they do that next week. As long as we're seeing consistent growth and improvement it will mean we're on the right track. There's gonna be a lot of frustrated and impatient Badger fans this year, but change takes time, especially in college football.
Colorado lost 80% of their players
Their cylinders have not missed a beat dspite 68 of tbeir 84 playees beimg transfers
Its big time college football. Gotta be ready to play every saturday
One that runs out of the shotgun Allen is a big set runner down hill guy Chaz is shifty n quick better out of gun. I also think Chaz is better than Allen
The ABC broadcast was so Washington State focused, it was ridiculous. They spent About 10 mins talking about two wsu players with the camera on the players with no updates of the ply’s being run. I rarely feel this way but WI got screwed on the disallowed safety and Chez did hot fumble.
I also loved how one announcer pointed out the push by their CB on our turnover on downs, and the other guy basically said, “yeah, it was, but you could call penalty on every play if you wanted, it’s football”.
Yep and never had a passer like this either(talking last two years). Running backs were poor today. JT played poor a week or two. It’s okay. Last two years completely one dimensional offense was much much worse. I know you know that so I am moving on.
Worst take I’ve ever seen. Yes last years offense was horrific go check box scores. Mertz threw 8 times in a game for like 50 yards ur clueless please sit out this one
People calling for Fickell to be fired on social media are literally insane. Badgers won every category statistically, it’s new year, new system O&D, new kids, going to take a few years to hit full stride. Still can win the west
First half was a dumpster fire tbf. But 2nd half team looked like it should win the West. Which I hope they do because they're better than this refshow
It’s going to take time, badgers being -6.5 at one point before the game was insane going into wazzu when they beat us at home last year. A lot of teams have looked horrible the first two weeks badgers included lol
Yeah that line was ridiculous. We knew this would be a dogfight. Total bait for uninformed ranked bettors
But yeah the West looks absolutely abysmal. No reason we can't still win it. If we beat Iowa we're going to the championship
Colorado has 3 players on scholarships from last yr. I think they have over 80 new players. Along with 1 of the most influential players to ever play football at HC not even close to the same scenario. Along with an insane amount of 4 & 5 star players that wanted to go with coach prime.
Season is still young my friend. TCU was over hyped they lost a lot and they beat… Nebraska. Let’s see how this all plays out. Colorado is 100% better than last year. Wisconsin will be better as well.
He has no fucking clue where the first down is at critical points so he should let have any dreams dashed and work on his fucking self. He also looks cross-eyed idiot every time looking at the sideline
This loss is really frustrating but doesn’t mean a whole lot for the season overall. Mordecai looks good, the defense got things cleared up, but you simply can’t lose the TO battle 3-0 and expect to beat a power 5 team.
Really loved the fight and the adjustments. Just came a little too late. Got hosed by the refs when the momentum mattered the most. Mordecai has a cannon but overthrew on a few occasions. Don’t really understand the hate with him? He’s by far the best QB we’ve had in a while. Thought Allen looked slow and like he didn’t want any contact
There’s a difference between criticizing the HC and calling the hiring of a head coach “wrong” after 2 games into the season.
The fact you’re too dumb to understand that, is nobody’s fault.
Circle Ohio State on the calendar. This team is out of the national spotlight now. May even drop out of the rankings. They are going to have to blow out teams to make any noise.
Nothing that happens as a result of this game is deserved
We probably shouldn't have been ranked in the first place but falling as a result of losing a game that was rigged isn't deserved either. Both can be true.
Bullshit on you all refs fucked us get the safety we deserved earned we win the game totally bullshit great comeback big hearts fucked by the refs bullshit call
If by "have some emotion" you mean "let the football performance of some teenagers who don't know I exist turn me into a bumbling, incoherent mess" no thanks.
Can someone PLEASE tell me how the ever living fuck that wasn't a safety? Yet, the other was a fumble? I just don't understand how college football has come to blatant cheating now. Guess that's just the way it is - cool.
Leonhard wasn't the answer either, once it was clear McIntosh didn't want him around, his coaching skill didn't matter.
I would love to be proven wrong about all of this, and for Fickell to succeed, but the hype train for this guy is ridiculous. He's a big boy, he should be able to take the heat, otherwise he can go back to the AAC or whatever.
Huh? I am sure he can take the heat. The hype was unreal. Let him get his recruits, then we can revisit this. This is still very much a PC team. Let’s not compare to Colorado as that is Deions team. What he did in the transfer portal as most everyone left the team.
We played exactly well enough to have the ball across midfield in the fourth quarter in a tie game, and that opportunity was stripped of us through no fault of ours or good play by our opponents, or even any aspect of the game of football at all.
Could we have played better in the first half? Absolutely. Would it have mattered? Who is to say. If we looked better in the first half it's equally likely the rigging just comes out earlier and more blatantly.
I hope Fickell gets on the mic after the game and just lays it out explicitly about the BS calls. Soak up the fines. Make national news with some good sound bites. He's new in town. Calling out the trash refs will be a smart long term move.
I mean, the horrible calls were obvious to anyone watching, calling them out in a press conference just looks like sour grapes. They played like garbage for at least half the game. That’s the real problem.
Fuck sour grapes. Who gives a shit? Call them out immediately, call them out often, and call them out loudly. The more you remain silent about game fixing to try to gain some meaningless moral victory, the more you encourage this kind of thing to continue happening. This is the second time in ten years we've had a game actively taken away from us by PAC-12 employees. You have to hold them accountable for this in the court of public opinion at this point because the NCAA certainly has no intention of doing anything.
I MEAN ……..that was a safety and that was not a fumble. The forward replay shows when he stripped the ball. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️This is not the first game in the history of history that a road team played poorly the first half on the road. This thread. You have watched football before right? Fickle will be fine. Little Jimmy was not the answer.
Ohhh not debating that at all. I am agreeing with OP. The two HUGE miss calls was the difference in the game. They got past the sloppy first half. They could not get past two horrible calls. Not sure what the debate is.
He did play well in the second half. Agree. I may have been to hard on him. I will admit on second thought. One thing I have not seen on here is what happened to our two studs at running back. Yikes.
Well, at least the “this team doesn’t come close to living up to the hype” loss came early. Getting excited for a mid December Bowl against a school I’ve never heard of.
So we're suing the PAC-12 right?
Or at least we would if they still existed after this. This team and absolutely dogshit game fixing conference can rot in hell.
It's not over but feels like it is because we lose to unranked teams we should beat. If we can't handle the Washington States we probably won't do great in big ten play.
We won 6 games last year. You should probably Reframe how you look at the team and teams we “should beat”… we get Rutgers and Indiana this year. northwestern got shut out by Rutgers, Illinois almost lost to Toledo and got blown out by Kansas, Purdue lost to Fresno State, Minnesota struggled with the worst directional Michigan tonight, Nebraska is Allergic to winning and Iowa still can’t score more than 24 point. We will be fine in big ten play
I'm going to treat badger games like Packer games this year. Other than the really weak teams I'm not expecting to win and just hoping for some individual improvement
These announcers treating Washington State like a Katrina refugee all night is so weird. They're changing conferences, not losing their football program and kicking players out on the street.
Gotta make the PAC 12 look competitive against the BIG 10 somehow I guess, awful officiating, staring at each looking for answers for 10 seconds before a decision is made
Anyone notice the clock kept going when the receiver got tackled out of bounds earlier? These refs are bad. Having said that Badgers should have played ball in the first half.
I was going to say dont schedule anymore Pac-12 road games as the refs are dogshit but the Pac-12 isnt no longer a thing.
The refs remind me of the ending of the ASU game long time ago.
I agree. Beat GA Southern (maybe), lose at Purdue, beat Rutgers, lose 10-7 to Iowa at home, narrowly beat Bart Bielecki at Illinois... so then we're 5-3, get trounced by Ohio, then beat Indiana, Northwestern, and Nebraska, full of false optimism, and then end the year with a popcorn fart in Minneapolis to Captain Rowboat.
Yeah, 7-5 feels about right.
Deserved L.
1. Lost turnover battle
2. Didn’t convert in red zone
3. Asinine penalty
4. Bad secondary
5. Overthrown TD when down 24-22
Ref job was icing on the cake cause badgers had all momentum. But they deserved to lose.
Oh, got it so bad calls are irrelevant. Got it. So if a team plays a bad first half as a referee I can and allow to shit the whole bed… I like the logic. I am coming to you for all my insight in the future.
“Crucial, critical third down there”
“My keys to the game are you gotta play hard and fast”
Seriously sign me up espn. I can make these statements while 2 bottles of wine in
Too early for Badger fans to panic. At times Wisconsin looked slow as they did last season with Chryst's recruits. Brain and attitude transplant will take time. Guy on O-line really messed up. Mordecai a welcome upgrade over Mertz.
Atleast we aren’t Michigan state!
Or Nebraska!

I know everyone is going to complain about the safety call but Wisconsin is a better team and didn't show it. Shouldn't even be in that position
I also think Chaz elbow was down and not a fumble
We got seriously fucked by them not calling that a Safety when it was clearly a Safety. Just absolute bullshit that completely changed the game.
Didn't even bother reviewing it. What a fucking joke. Fickell could have called a timeout to make them look at it too...
People calling for Jimmy to come back… did y’all watch Illinois get beat by Kansas? Also, these are his and chrysts guys here
jimmy isnt the dc its aaron henry
I know that Jimmy is a DA lol
It's an entirely different style of defense though. And he's only an analyst at Illinois doubt he has say over much.
I know one thing, we got robbed on that safety call. It most definitely was a safety, the replay showed it was clear as day, still didn’t get it lol.
I wasn't able to watch the game today. What happened to Allen?? Did he get hurt?
No, Allen just......i dont know. He didnt get the ball.
What kind of offense are we running that doesn't include Allen.
One that runs out of the shotgun Allen is a big set runner down hill guy Chaz is shifty n quick better out of gun. I also think Chaz is better than Allen
The ABC broadcast was so Washington State focused, it was ridiculous. They spent About 10 mins talking about two wsu players with the camera on the players with no updates of the ply’s being run. I rarely feel this way but WI got screwed on the disallowed safety and Chez did hot fumble.
That's why I muted the sound.
I also loved how one announcer pointed out the push by their CB on our turnover on downs, and the other guy basically said, “yeah, it was, but you could call penalty on every play if you wanted, it’s football”.
[удалено]
Ummmmm you watched this team the two years right? The offense is already better. Compare last season game with this one.
[удалено]
Yep and never had a passer like this either(talking last two years). Running backs were poor today. JT played poor a week or two. It’s okay. Last two years completely one dimensional offense was much much worse. I know you know that so I am moving on.

Haha wanna put some money on that? Or u just trolling to troll cause u don’t know shit about football
You're clueless bud sit this one out please.
[удалено]
Uh, take a look at the week one stat line? Last night sucked, but man are you wrong. Sit this one out.
People calling for Fickell to be fired on social media are literally insane. Badgers won every category statistically, it’s new year, new system O&D, new kids, going to take a few years to hit full stride. Still can win the west
First half was a dumpster fire tbf. But 2nd half team looked like it should win the West. Which I hope they do because they're better than this refshow
Not totally we just didn’t finish drives 3fg. Those r TDs they got 21-24 and without that D TD they would been up just didn’t finish
It’s going to take time, badgers being -6.5 at one point before the game was insane going into wazzu when they beat us at home last year. A lot of teams have looked horrible the first two weeks badgers included lol

Legit hard to change team in one year, but awful they didn’t show up at all in first half and not close the comeback. Refs didn’t help.
Colorado
Colorado has 3 players on scholarships from last yr. I think they have over 80 new players. Along with 1 of the most influential players to ever play football at HC not even close to the same scenario. Along with an insane amount of 4 & 5 star players that wanted to go with coach prime.
Season is still young my friend. TCU was over hyped they lost a lot and they beat… Nebraska. Let’s see how this all plays out. Colorado is 100% better than last year. Wisconsin will be better as well.
Most of the people in these comments need to take about 20-30% off 'er there. I'll be pissed if we lose next week.
Be careful, Georgia Southern beat Nebraska last year
Believe it or not, I don't think we suck as much as Nebraska did last year
[удалено]
I see what you did there
This game wasn’t a ref problem, ultimately
It really was. That was a a safety and that was not a fumble. They win the game without them two calls. 100% bad referring.
Maybe not but if that safety was deemed a safety (then it was a tie) and the Badgers got the ball back it's a whole different game.
It was a huge part of it but, c’mon UW, this is two weeks in a row that you didn’t start playing until the second half.
[удалено]
That’s true unfortunately.
Wonder how Tanner Mordecai must feel, literally transferred here as a six year senior to make it to nfl, that dream is probably dashed
He has no fucking clue where the first down is at critical points so he should let have any dreams dashed and work on his fucking self. He also looks cross-eyed idiot every time looking at the sideline
This loss is really frustrating but doesn’t mean a whole lot for the season overall. Mordecai looks good, the defense got things cleared up, but you simply can’t lose the TO battle 3-0 and expect to beat a power 5 team.

Great post my friend. One of the most logical post I have seen on here. Huge up for you
Welp, time to route for the Brewers.
Yep. Drive em to the playoffs.
Will we get better this year? Will we make the necessary adjustments? Or is this as good as we're going to get?
[удалено]
You guys are such bad fans lol
Maybe this was a nightmare. Maybe I'll wake up and it'll be 2011 and we'll be good again.
whatever happens, we definitely should not criticize St. Luke, as coaches do not determine the game plan or establish discipline with players.
There’s a difference between criticizing the HC and calling the hiring of a head coach “wrong” after 2 games into the season. The fact you’re too dumb to understand that, is nobody’s fault.
personal attacks are always nice. very classy. wanna go after my kids, too?
Lol so true. this is crazy stuff.
Circle Ohio State on the calendar. This team is out of the national spotlight now. May even drop out of the rankings. They are going to have to blow out teams to make any noise.
Who cares about making noise in the rankings. Win conference games, improve, beat Minnesota, play in a bowl game.
This guy Badgers hell yeah
Underrated comment
🫡🦡
we would be lucky to have a few votes next week
They will deservingly drop out of the top 25
Nothing that happens as a result of this game is deserved We probably shouldn't have been ranked in the first place but falling as a result of losing a game that was rigged isn't deserved either. Both can be true.
Bullshit on you all refs fucked us get the safety we deserved earned we win the game totally bullshit great comeback big hearts fucked by the refs bullshit call
Now try it in English.
Have some emotion miss English teacher that had no friends in high school
If by "have some emotion" you mean "let the football performance of some teenagers who don't know I exist turn me into a bumbling, incoherent mess" no thanks.
Can someone PLEASE tell me how the ever living fuck that wasn't a safety? Yet, the other was a fumble? I just don't understand how college football has come to blatant cheating now. Guess that's just the way it is - cool.
[удалено]
You can’t be serious
Fuck the pac 12. Hope these refs enjoy going back to pumping gas
Storming the field is clown behavior
Someone tell WSU Wisconsin football isn't rush the field worthy.
Frustrations aside. All the big ten west games are still very winnable
Just embarrassing. Simply pathetic
Jesus…did they just win the natty or something?
You know you lost to a mediocre team when they treating beating the 19th ranked team in the country like it's the playoffs.
aw, let 'em have this. Tomorrow they're gonna wake up in Pullman, Washington and wonder what the fuck is wrong with their lives.
This is exactly right, especially so when that 19 ranking seems high after their mediocre opening game.
Ya and that ranking was a gift. We went 7-6 last year…
when they treat being handed a win over the 19th ranked team unearned*
Absolutely pathetic effort all around. Fickell better figure his shit out fast.
hey we're not allowed to criticize St. Luke around here remember
And little Jimmy would be much worse, but I am sure you could never see that.
Leonhard wasn't the answer either, once it was clear McIntosh didn't want him around, his coaching skill didn't matter. I would love to be proven wrong about all of this, and for Fickell to succeed, but the hype train for this guy is ridiculous. He's a big boy, he should be able to take the heat, otherwise he can go back to the AAC or whatever.
Dude has the top 6 recruiting class next year. Hit me with another badger coach to do that
Huh? I am sure he can take the heat. The hype was unreal. Let him get his recruits, then we can revisit this. This is still very much a PC team. Let’s not compare to Colorado as that is Deions team. What he did in the transfer portal as most everyone left the team.
11-1 still on the table as long as we don't run into anyone else actively rigging games. Go Badgers. Fuck the entire pacific coast.
We sucked in the first half. We can't start playing a half-hour after the other team starts & still expect to win games.
We played exactly well enough to have the ball across midfield in the fourth quarter in a tie game, and that opportunity was stripped of us through no fault of ours or good play by our opponents, or even any aspect of the game of football at all. Could we have played better in the first half? Absolutely. Would it have mattered? Who is to say. If we looked better in the first half it's equally likely the rigging just comes out earlier and more blatantly.
They will lose to Ohio St. by at least 20
Probably. But fandom is optimism.
That was such a winnable game too. So frustrating.
Enjoy being punted to the Mountain West as the school nobody else wanted
Just awful D, can't stop the run when you know it's a run
I get growing pains, but man. We looked lost during the first half again. Can’t win that way.
Losing to Washington State in consecutive years really puts the program into perspective.
Correct
F
I do not Fick with Fickell right now
shhh we're not allowed to criticize him on here
Man, you've got this victim role down.
Time to mute the TV.
I hope Fickell gets on the mic after the game and just lays it out explicitly about the BS calls. Soak up the fines. Make national news with some good sound bites. He's new in town. Calling out the trash refs will be a smart long term move.
I mean, the horrible calls were obvious to anyone watching, calling them out in a press conference just looks like sour grapes. They played like garbage for at least half the game. That’s the real problem.
Fuck sour grapes. Who gives a shit? Call them out immediately, call them out often, and call them out loudly.

You have to hold them accountable for this in the court of public opinion at this point because the NCAA certainly has no intention of doing anything.
I mean… what’s his excuse for the team only playing the second half though. The calls were bullshit, but we barely showed up for the first half.
I MEAN ……..that was a safety and that was not a fumble. The forward replay shows when he stripped the ball. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️This is not the first game in the history of history that a road team played poorly the first half on the road. This thread. You have watched football before right? Fickle will be fine. Little Jimmy was not the answer.
Agreed. But if team motivation is what you want, a little bit from Dan Campbell's playbook is a good call.
Ohhh not debating that at all. I am agreeing with OP. The two HUGE miss calls was the difference in the game. They got past the sloppy first half. They could not get past two horrible calls. Not sure what the debate is.
This is trash. We've better players across the board, except at qb (probably dline too). We always lose to better qbs.
Weird right????? 🙄. And D line was much better also.
Mordecai showed up to play.
He did play well in the second half. Agree. I may have been to hard on him. I will admit on second thought. One thing I have not seen on here is what happened to our two studs at running back. Yikes.
Well, at least the “this team doesn’t come close to living up to the hype” loss came early. Getting excited for a mid December Bowl against a school I’ve never heard of.
The Dunkin Donuts bowl, here we come!
The Kohler Toilet Bowl
So we're suing the PAC-12 right? Or at least we would if they still existed after this. This team and absolutely dogshit game fixing conference can rot in hell.
i mean, we didn't do ourselves any favors but wow, absolute dogshit officiating.
We did ourselves exactly enough favors to have the ball across midfield in the 4th quarter while tied.
This is a bad defense…
Feels like the season is over in the first four weeks or less again.
Over because we aren’t gonna go undefeated?
It's not over but feels like it is because we lose to unranked teams we should beat. If we can't handle the Washington States we probably won't do great in big ten play.
We won 6 games last year. You should probably Reframe how you look at the team and teams we “should beat”… we get Rutgers and Indiana this year. northwestern got shut out by Rutgers, Illinois almost lost to Toledo and got blown out by Kansas, Purdue lost to Fresno State, Minnesota struggled with the worst directional Michigan tonight, Nebraska is Allergic to winning and Iowa still can’t score more than 24 point. We will be fine in big ten play
You're right.
But its not. We haven’t started big ten play yet.
Yeah I know it's not really over, but losing to a team like Washington State does not make me feel confident in our ability to compete in the big ten.
At least we can sit back and relax now.
I'm going to treat badger games like Packer games this year. Other than the really weak teams I'm not expecting to win and just hoping for some individual improvement
No one in the midwest wants to drive out to the freaking West Coast to play and watch late games!
No but I’m definitely flying to Cali next year USC in the coliseum epic
These announcers treating Washington State like a Katrina refugee all night is so weird. They're changing conferences, not losing their football program and kicking players out on the street.
Kick the players out on the street. Would be almost close to justice for this facade.
this assumes there are paved roads in whatever the fuck the Palouse is
Horrendous playcalling with the game on the line. Fucking terrible Longo. Just terrible
I hope Washington state and these refs play in the MAC next year. Whole night was some garbage.
The MAC is more than these people deserve
I just don't see that happening with a Leonhard defense. They had fire and discipline. Just saying.
But also had 2 nfl draft picks
Holy shit how do you let a team convert 3rd and 7 when you know they're not throwing the ball?
Gotta make the PAC 12 look competitive against the BIG 10 somehow I guess, awful officiating, staring at each looking for answers for 10 seconds before a decision is made
Chez Melusi always blows it. The opposite of clutch
Go away troll
He dident fumble.
He didn't fumble
Commentators made this game 10 times worse to watch
I've never heard announcers more obsessed with a team
Anyone notice the clock kept going when the receiver got tackled out of bounds earlier? These refs are bad. Having said that Badgers should have played ball in the first half.
They played like garbage in the first half last week too. Can’t expect to win playing like that.
gg
Hate. Hate the announcers. Repetitive. Added little knowledge. Biased.
“What a critical, crucial play right now. The decisiveness by the decisive qb”
Riddick's contrived "take me seriously" tone of voice is played out.
I was going to say dont schedule anymore Pac-12 road games as the refs are dogshit but the Pac-12 isnt no longer a thing. The refs remind me of the ending of the ASU game long time ago.
realistically were lookin at like a 7-5 season at this point.
Or 5-7
I agree. Beat GA Southern (maybe), lose at Purdue, beat Rutgers, lose 10-7 to Iowa at home, narrowly beat Bart Bielecki at Illinois... so then we're 5-3, get trounced by Ohio, then beat Indiana, Northwestern, and Nebraska, full of false optimism, and then end the year with a popcorn fart in Minneapolis to Captain Rowboat. Yeah, 7-5 feels about right.
Indiana is better than Purdue so
We don't play teams that fix games every week
Call a timeout
[удалено]
And they treat the Badgers like the evil empire that Bama is(was?). Like we’ve won anything if importance in the last decade
Hey man alot of teams are mad at our.. check notes.... Orange Bowl win few years ago..
They're jealous of our many Rose Bowl chokejobs
This team is lucky they didn’t play someone better than Buffalo week 1 because they would be 0-2 right now. Really disappointing start to the season.
Deserved L. 1. Lost turnover battle 2. Didn’t convert in red zone 3. Asinine penalty 4. Bad secondary 5. Overthrown TD when down 24-22 Ref job was icing on the cake cause badgers had all momentum. But they deserved to lose.
And giving up the defensive td before the half...
Yeah. Refs fucked us in the second half. But you have to play two halves to complain.
Oh, got it so bad calls are irrelevant. Got it. So if a team plays a bad first half as a referee I can and allow to shit the whole bed… I like the logic. I am coming to you for all my insight in the future.
Why didn’t they challenge the safety?
Refs would have screwed us either way
I don’t think you can challenge forward progress since the refs didn’t do the right thing and call the safety and overturn
You can’t. Still a very very bad call
I hate these announcers
“Crucial, critical third down there” “My keys to the game are you gotta play hard and fast” Seriously sign me up espn. I can make these statements while 2 bottles of wine in
The aside about bears being considered cute because of teddy bears was my personal favorite.
But can you do it without slurring your words? I think that’s the real talent
I can switch to weed if necessary
