He should

I disagree, I think he loses respect from his team mates. Got to be a man and take the loss hard but don't cry on week 1. I can understand if this was a championship game.

Congrats to Whisky for a big win.

You trying to call him a little bitch?

Here's a question, even though Wisconsin is not ranked, will they jump LSU in the polls. Given the bias of the polls I think not. They will call it a home game for Wisconsin even though it was neutral site and LSU had 30,000 fans (about 40% of the stadium). Of course when LSU plays in New Orleans (bowl games?), Shreveport (bowl games?) or Dallas those are not considered home games.

Not possible since they're so far behind. I believe they're actually 26th based on the vote but even if they destroyed them by 3 TD's I think LSU would still be ahead. I think Badgers will end up ranked around 15-17 and LSU will be 10-13. That's just a guess.

That didn't appear to be an attempt, just flat out called him one....

Thanks, honestly I was waiting for the choke which did happen but I never expected the come back drive. That hasn't happened since the Russell Wilson Days.

 

[The Derski]

But I ranked Arky, so I'm an idiot.

Too soon I guess

 

[4down20]

UCLA tied it.

 

[Great Dayne]

Ah, now your true conference-humping colors come out.

hahah, I was joking. I honestly have no idea where the Badgers or the Big Ten will finish. I'll be happy with a bowl game with the looks of our insane schedule. Now that we did beat the #5 ranked team in the country that improves our chances. I will be slightly stunned if we make the BIG champ again but not shocked since our division is below avg at best. The BIG's potential is the second best conference but can be as bad as the 4th best this season. The first 4 weeks will make the picture of where we stand a little clearer.

UW has the talent at the Oline and D-line and the superior QB (despite the 2 int's). LSU has the better WR's, RB's, and DB's but you win games in the trenches.

UW always has a good lines. LSU wasn't ready to deal with that. They showed up thinking Fournette would save them from trouble and even Harris could find wide open guys when UW played the run. Didn't happen that way.

Anyway, seems like a corching shortfall for LSU.

Uh, that's not quite how that works -- especially when talking about pre-season ranked teams. If LSU ends up unranked at the end of the year, you're basically not even allowed to be proud of the win around these parts.

So under that theory, scheduling a top team with great history that turns out to have a bad year, is no different than scheduling an FCS team.

No, it means (for example) if you play a top 25 ND team, beat them and then they finish the season unranked -- people scoff at the idea you beat a ranked team. Pre-season ranks don't mean a whole lot unless they keep that ranking throughout the season.

Unless voters penalize them for the bitch move of dropping 77 points on someone.

Two TDs by the 3rd string running back and a pick 6 in the end to get the last 21 points. Not like they played their starters are were passing the whole game

Beating LSU to start the season always means something.

It begs an interesting point about the pre season poll. Maybe Wisconsin is really, really good , or not. Maybe LSU is really poor, or not. The preseason voters just hate to admit they are ever wrong so they end up make fools of themselves. Who knows Houston may not even jump Oklahoma, although I think they will.
Your ND example is a good one. About 12 or 13 years ago, SC had 1 loss seasons. One year they got into the Championship Game partly because of strength of schedule as ND was 9-3. Either the year before or the year after, they did not get into the Championship because partly based on strength of schedule when ND was either 4-8 or 3-9. In neither year did they schedule ND because they thought is was an easy win. Playing good teams must count for something. A few years ago , had ND not scheduled Florida State and lost on the last play of the game, but rather scheduled the College of Charleston (as Alabama did) and won by 40 points they might have been in the Championship. When records are equal, head to head must count. Next week Wisconsin will likely be 2-0 and LSU will be 1-1 and still ranked ahead of Wisconsin. In the unlikely event that both team ran the table it would be impossible of Wisconsin to pass LSU simply because of the preseason position.

Our coaches suck....

Our QB threw 2 INTs as well, including a pick six. Our defense won this game.
