Whar ActiveVadger?

No, I'm here. Have been around just have responsibilities outside of message board posting as I'm sure everyone can relate to.

Wisconsin is 6-3 and has played a brutal schedule both non-conference and conference. Played two Top 5 teams (FLA, Indiana). About to have 3 Top 5 teams this weekend.

I don't know exactly how I'm supposed to react to Wisconsin being 6-3 vs. Iowa 3-6? Wisconsin has several good wins and the only thing even considered to be a bad loss would be @Iowa.

My opinion will remain unchanged (as it should) even if Wisconsin loses this evening. We'd be 6-4 and still well positioned to make our 16th straight NCAA tournament with the weakest part of our schedule still yet to be played. 3 more wins and we are dancing as our RPI and SOS will be very high at 9-9 with perhaps the best win in the country (@indiana) under our belts.

My response after the game will be yet the same as it's been all year. Bo is finding a way to navigate all our injuries and still put us in position to dance, win or lose to Iowa.

Same message has been repeating from me all season. Iowa fans were saying from the end of last season "this is the year Wisconsin goes back to their rightful place!!!!! The Hawks are backkkk!!!!!"

My response has been Wisconsin has been good for 2 decades now. We are here to stay. Whether Wisconsin loses one game or two to Iowa doesn't change that. Whether we win the BIG doesn't change that.

As I have told you many, many times before the "We're back" thing, is just for shizz an' grins.

You do understand what jokes are, don't you?

Wisconsin has to be in the bottom half of conf SOS, not sure what was so brutal about the first half of the Badgers' slate.
No Michigan yet. Only get them once. And only get Indiana once.
Nebraska - Penn State to start the slate, not tough. Illinois twice.

Not sure where the difficulty is in that early slate. Wisconsin might be at the top of the bottom half of the conf in terms of SOS, but certainly it's not brutal. Not compare to most of the other teams. Like Iowa, for instance.
 


Never mind, I can prove my own point via some quick research.

Wisconsin has the 8th ranked conf SOS.
So, no, not brutal compared to the rest of the league.

Again I call BS, after the last loss you were on here all butthurt saying that was our "Super Bowl".

Enjoy what you have right now and always remember you are just a Steve Yoder away from being back in the cellar.

Same thing I said prior to the game is the same thing I say after the game. 12 years of data with Bo Ryan and 20 years now of being a solid solid program. We are 7-3 having lost our starting PG prior to the season and have had the ability to win pretty much every game but one (Florida). Everyone has been saying for years how "Wisconsin falls back to the pack this year because how can they replace ____insert player name?" "The league is changing and Wisconsin can't keep up." Bottom line is Bo gets it done even with major injuries, and defections (Uthoff). Anyone who claims otherwise doesn't know history.

Good game last night. Both teams played hard. Lots of correctable errors on both sides. There's a lot of season left to go on streaks either good or bad.

Have you not listened to him at all, this wasn't their Super Bowl.

Iowa sucks, and this should be considered a win everytime they play. Just like the 3 games prior to last nights game.

Iowa = HS JV
Bucky = UNC, Duke and Kentucky all wrapped into one
