I don't get why you guys want Wisky to win. It makes them look better and ads another trophy to their case. We have to play these guys every year, and we haven't done well vs them lately. It looks good to their recruits (guys we are after) when they have a 2020 Rose Bowl trophy in their hands and how many Big 10 West trophys as well, compared to our one? Don't root for them!! They are our #1 enemy in football, we want them to fail!!!

I respect them enough to support them in neutral games which is more than I can say for my brother in law. He hates Iowa more than he likes Wisconsin. He said the most difficult three hours of the season was when Iowa played Minnesota in November and he needed Iowa to win. I think he was rooting for Minnesota to beat us and for Wisconsin and Minnesota to tie for the west. That's how much he hates Iowa.

He has openly rooted for Iowa's opponent in my basement when Iowa was playing a neutral game and I have had words with him. You don't do that shit in someone's basement. I gave him one mulligan, one warning then bounced him. I don't think my wife (his sister) was too happy either.

Among other things, he has said Carver Hawkeye looks like a birdcage, which is actually kind of funny. He does like Kinnick, which makes sense, because Wiscy hasn't lost there in going on twelve years.

Wisky is going to get their recruits. They hawks have really good players also but I am not so sure we arent losing to Wisky most of the time due to coaching , us vs them

I think our problem with Wisconsin, funadmentally, is that their system and schemes are just more refined than ours. We are catching up, quickly, but if you really look at it, we pretty much revamped everything 3 years ago. A lot of coaches, and not just players but types of players we are recruiting, and we are just a different program now than before. So what we have 3 years invested Wisconsin just has more.

The overhaul is behind us, and so is a lot of the steep learning curve by a lot of our coaching staff including our OC. I think we are more in the fine tuning mode now and I think we all could see the evolution of our offense against USC, with respect to countering what the defenses have been doing to us.

Go back to your fucking huddle or sideline you whiny west coast punk.

There is always hope

Like watch Wisconsin against Oregon here. Oregon was and still is loading the box with 9 and 10 defenders. You know Wisconsin totally expected this. What is really impressive is the amount of action that Wisconsin has to the weak side, and with the number of players. They have run several different players on reverses and misdirection plays, and its like clockwork.

I dont think we have anywhere near the depth in the playbook, or practice these plays, like Wisconsin does. Its obvious Brian is trying to get there, but it just takes time.

I usually root for most conference teams in bowls, but I am also strategic about it. Definitely not rooting for Wisconsin...they need to take a hit. I no longer root for PSU in bowls. Never used to root for Nebraska either, but they don't go to bowls anymore, anyway.

Oregon has been getting penetration up the middle, which is why the TD was such a brilliant call.

#50 was waiting for Taylor on the goal line. He never came.

They've had much better RB's than us going on a decade now. Much of it can be boiled down to that factor alone. Not all of it, but it's a big part of it.

Wisconsin took their hit last year. But it may have been an aberration.

We have to get them next year. Our road schedule is brutal and now includes Minnesota on the rise.

Oregon's ready to brawl.

UCLA was the same way in '94 and '00.

Could have been a late hit out of bounds on top of it.
