Did you happen to see what we did the week after Iowa? Blowing out #12 Michigan State by 45 points? That was a more impressive performance than anything Wisconsin has done this year by a landslide. If you're going to point out our lowest point, you've also gotta accept our highest, and if we're playing like that in Indianapolis, we're getting out with a double-digit win.

Also LMFAO at "their time is up and our time is now". That's the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard. You're not blowing us out. We're still more talented, still deeper, and still have better coaches. Also, we have the #1 recruiting class in 2018. Where's Wisconsin's?

A little premature with the top ranked recruiting class there.

Wisconsin's defense is obviously better. But I am talking about 1 player. Then you guys bring up how 1 player doesn't make the team.

If Edwards has all those studs around him, wouldn't it be harder to game plan because the opposing offenses have to worry about blocking all of those studs? With Iowa, all they needed to do was block #43 there in the middle of the field and throw away from #15. Seemed to work 5 times so far. Well, 4 and the PSU game. Barkley went right after Jewell and both had an amazing game.
Ironically Jewell is a Nagurski finalist . Evidently he's one of the 5 best defensive players in CFB but not one of the 5 best LBs lol

This talent you keep referring to isn't resulting to as being as productive or successful as us right now. Maybe on paper according to some ranking systems but on the field it isn't being demonstrated and not even close. You were beaten by 16 at home, 27 on the road to a 5 loss team and won by 1 pt after a bye week at home and the opponent went very conservative. Your team isn't even as good as they were last season.

I'd take Jim Leaonhard over any of your specialist coaches easily. PC will win coach of the year and I wouldn't be surprised if JL wins specialist coach of the year if that exists.

The MSU win was ok, but I have them as a 6 loss team and by far the luckiest team in the country. I think they're really a middle of the pack team like Indiana. Your team is consistently inconsistent and it appears vs your tougher opponents you seem to struggle mightly but destroy the cupcakes which gives you this sense of being better than you actually are. It's similar to what Michigan fans felt in their 3 game run of destroying cupcakes then many had Michigan beating us because of this new found confidence.

Again, all you have is the W on some meaningless high school ranking systems. Meanwhile Wisconsin takes non ranked Walk ons and they turn into some of the greatest NFL players of all time (JJ Watt).

Good luck vs Michigan and stay healthy and don't choke because we need you guys ranked high.

I should've bragged about our 12th ranked 2019 class or that we just stole the #1 recruit from Michigan in the third ranked OT in Michigan (also recruited by Bama, PSU, etc). lmoa but I know better than that I also know our walk on program is the best in the country and produces more NFL caliber players than any other team but it's difficult to say that our recruiter class is going to be great because of walk ons because you really never know until they win the starting job.

I see where his blind confidence comes from. It comes from the recruiter rankings and not the results on the field. When OSU gets beat and beat badly it's some rare anomaly or something.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Whistling while walking past the graveyard

As for your rushing defense - Iowas 243 yards, Iowa vs Wisconsin 25 yards


Just remember their run defense wasn't trying on that day and it wasn't that Iowa executed or performed better it's that their vastly superior talented all amazing five star recruits were bored.

No what's really funny is despite being our worst QB ever or at least in a while he still put up identical passing numbers vs your boy JT Barret the demi god in his freshmen year with less talent around him. :rofl:

Do you have excuses for that just like you did for getting spanked by 27 points by Iowa??? Again we had two pick six's and 4 TO's yet we still beat them by 24 points. Maybe our "less talented recruits and team" were just an anomaly that day and magically destroyed Iowa. :rofl:

When that all great and powerful rush defense allowed 245 yards to Iowa's running game that had 25 yards vs Wisconsin did they just not show up? Was the water boys starting???
:urbs:

It’s like when a QB wins the Heisman but not the Unitas award, or an RB wins the Heisman but not the Doak Walker. It happens.

It seems strange, but the Unitas Award is for Seniors only so I can see how it happens.

And Alabama currently has the 23rd ranked class. Talking about class rankings in November is ridiculous.
You're right, the odds are we'll drop back to around 40th and Wisconsin will surge into the top 5.

No, odds are you'll finish in the top 5 and Alabama will surge to the top spot like they always do. Talking about recruiting rankings in November is almost as ridiculous as thinking Ohio State ever had an argument to be ranked ahead of Oklahoma this season.

Please re-read for context. And actually the odds aren't great for Alabama to finish 1st. They've never been this far back at this point. Remember - there's the early signing day this year, also.

Please don't drink while typing. I don't want you to end up in jail as we have our Avi bet to take care of.
