Why do Wisconsin fans think their football team is an elite?

[Sox33OSU]

Hey SOX, think about it...how bad has the B1G been since 2010? I'll tell you...bad.....when Iowa has been relevant so has Michigan and Ohio State....when Wisconsin wins the B1G Ohio state is on probation and Michigan can't find their dick

OSU is always good. We had exactly one down year. That has nothing to do with Wisconsin being a good team. They're good this year and so is Ohio State.

I remember the early 90s, Ohio state was bad

OSU averaged 9 wins from 1990-1995.

3 straight Big Ten titles. Remind me how relevant Iowa is again.

They did have that great season in 2008, was it..

I see your point and it makes sense. Wisky wins 3 of their 12 B1G Titles in the B1G's down years. Therefore they still count but aren't as impressive. So really Wisky is an average team in now a less superior Big Ten.

And tOSU has always been great. Most fans can't say that. I am very thankful.

It isn't exactly breaking news that Wisconsin doesn't have a National Title or was pretty horrible before Alvarez came in the early 90s.

Since then to say they haven't been relevant is a joke. And recently they've put a ton of solid players into the NFL, so regardless of how the rest of the conference is doing, they're obviously developing great talent.

I've never had any ill will towards Iowa. Was at the last UW game at Iowa and the fans were fantastic.

They are an elite team....................................in Wisconsin.

Hate to burst your bubble, but the Big 10 Champion in the last decade hasn't been relevant.

In bowl games since 2002, the Big 10 Champ is a pathetic 3-9 in bowl games (includes co-champs). 2 of those wins came against Notre Dame and a last second Hail Mary completion for Iowa against LSU. Neither of those wins came against champions of another conference.

Nobody in the Big 10 right now is elite. That includes Ohio State.

If your favorite team has lost to Bo Pelini in the last 3 years, your team is not relevant.

 

[Jonny Valtimore]

The only team losing to Bo Pelini is the one paying him 3 million dollars a year.

Has Wisconsin lost to Bo Pelini in the last 2 years?

Thought so.

Elite?

LMAO

 

[Red_Alert]

If this shit Nebraska team makes it to the B-one-G championship again I'll LMFAO.

 

[HuskerOC]

True.

At least his buyout is nothing more than a gumball, a handshake, and a Diet Coke. If Iowa wants to fire Lee Majors..., I mean the $5 Million Dollar Man in Kirk Ferentz, they have to give up the Iowa GNP for the next 10 years.

hell, even Texas Tech can beat that loud mouth cock sucker on the reg

 

[Smart]

You mean Wisconsin sucked in the 1980s? Gosh, I had no idea.

Uhh... Since 2002, OSU has won 5 BCS bowls, 3 of them as conference champ. Penn State also won the conference in 05 and beat FSU in their BCS game, vacated or not. Since 02, the B1G has won 7 BCS bowls. If that's not relevant, than no conference is relevant other than the SEC and Pac... which at this time, may be valid.

Saying OSU is not elite is pretty ignorant.
