  1. Bauers just a bit short of being able to tell Willson exactly who the h*** he is.
  2. Basketball is not my favorite sport to begin with, but this is why I don't get upset about UW getting upset in the NCAA tournament anymore. I'll root for them, but if they lose, I don't care anymore.
  3. I think it's to free up space for some extensions. Those signing bonuses will partially count towards the 2026 cap if they are signed before the end of the 2026 season.
  4. And boom goes the dynamite.
  5. One thing we have to keep in mind is that the top kids start getting recruited when they are sophomores (QBs often earlier). It's two years before they commit. For the class of '23 (signed December 2022) and '24 (signed December 2023) he had already developed relationships with non-WI kids and was trying to play catch-up with WI kids that the prior regime didn't develop relationships with. For '25 he got a bunch of WI kids. Flanagan and Strebig are Catholic kids who went to Catholic HS and when ND comes calling... that's a really tough battle to win. Poteat wasn't coming to UW because they fired his father. But he got Roeske, Dean, Catalano, Pettaway, and Bork. So this narrative that he hasn't been recruiting WI kids until now is false. He got just about everybody he realistically could get for '25, and for '26 the talent level was poor and got 1 of the 2 he wanted.
  6. Yep. Last year there were two they really wanted. One they got (Ben Wenzel, LB), one they did not (Gavin Meier, OL). The WRs and OLs they had - up until close to signing day - were rated higher on most if not all services than the WR and OL kids from Wisconsin they didn't go hard after. Also, raising the scholarship limit to 105 helps. They can take a bigger class, and some kids they may not have had room for in the past and hoped they walked on they now have a few extra scholarships for.
  7. And boom goes the dynamite.
  8. SiriusXM has a channel for the Brewers radio. I can work and listen to the game at the same time. Just have to make sure that if I'm in a meeting I have it on mute.
  9. So he was holding players accountable and getting in their face when they screwed up?
  10. I'd call it karma.
  11. So sad to see Duke on the business end of a last second shot in the tourney....
  12. Contreras saw some time at 1B in the WBC.
  13. Ethan MacIntosh also has a chance to be a 4-star as well. He has the frame and the athleticism and absolutely projects to left tackle; he's held back in the ratings because he hasn't fully filled out yet. 24/7 has him at 6'7", 250. If he can get to at least 280 in a year he has a decent chance to rise to a 4-star.
  14. UW lands their 5th in-state recruit in 4-star OT Cole Reiter. 24/7 is projecting the Mallinger brothers and Kingston Allen to UW which would make 8 in-state kids and three of them 4-star with one of the Mallinger boys a chance to make it four 4-stars. I don't know if UW has ever had that many in-state scholarship recruits.
  15. Yesterday Denver broke the all-time high temperature for that day. By 13 degrees.
  16. About every six months or so I get a random letter in the mail from some company about a data breach involving some of my data being exposed, and get 12-24 months of a credit monitoring service free. I've had free credit monitoring for several years now. Just got extended another two years.
  17. I've heard from sources that it takes about $5M to field a good basketball team these days. I'm guessing that football is a lot more, simply by having 7x as many players even though not all get "NIL". Gard has been able to showcase what a Storr or Tonje looks like in his system, but if they had blown their knees out early in the season and have little to no stats to show for it (like the football QBs), I wonder if as many agents would be knocking on Gard's door.
  18. Reminiscent of the 2019 Marquette team that lost to #12 seed Murray State. They had this Ja Morant kid...
  19. High Point gave Arkansas all they could handle. Was a 2-point game with less than 3 minutes left. Much more that High Point was way under-seeded than UW "choking".
  20. Badgers got a 3 seed. Was hoping they would get the Loveland, CO, region so I could see them but get Worcester, MA.
  21. I think there's a pretty good chance that Tucker Kraft makes All Pro if he doesn't get injured. Maybe Zach Tom too if he stays healthy. It also is a lot harder to land those when they're constantly drafting in the back 1/3rd of the round. The two All Pro QBs went 1/1 and 1/3 the years they came out - never had a chance to draft them. Yeah, they got Rodgers and Matthews late in the 1st but other teams had to pass on them first. (And Matthews wasn't their first 1st round pick that year - they picked Raji 9th overall and he never made All Pro, only once Pro Bowl.) Rodgers was in the discussion for 1st overall, and then 24 other teams over-thought it. And you can't cherry pick what years to include. Last six years also includes 2021 and 2020 - and they're still one of the top teams. The point is that every team misses on some picks; the Packers have missed on less than most.
