Fun game. MSU isn't very good. We aren't very good w/o Wahl. I had written off Hodges and Ilver, but they actually look like competent B1G players today. I love C3gian.
-
I actually thought it was fine considering Wahl was out. Hawkins was 15-53 from 3 entering today and he was 6-9 today. UW was 5-12 from the FT line today. Normalize those 2 stats and we win a B1G road game without our best player.

Meh. I like stockpiling arms, but this seems like a little bit of TOO big of a commitment. It's his age 36 season, and if he stinks they can't just cut him ($4.5M) and they cant just send him down to figure it out... I guess there is always the mystery injury to get out of a pickle, but that's annoying too. Odds are that somebody will be injured to start the year and this will be necessary, in which case I guess that's fine but there are also a lot of guys available in the last week in March for cheap if need be. It just seems too early in the offseason for this move.
-
The game was almost lost when Mcgee and Ilver got extended time in the 2nd half, along with Klesmit being on the bench which allowed Battle to have a little run--along with an absolutely atrocious rebounding/loose ball stretch when Minnesota got everything. When UW had at least 4 starters on the court they dictated play...Chucky could do whatever he wanted--particularly in the 2 man game with Crowl.
-
Western Michigan seemed better than advertised. We basically made their poor shooters shoot...and they made enough shots to keep it at a respectable score. But they didn't force a lot of things and didn't turn it over a lot and seemed to fight for rebounds...but they were ultimately just too small for Crowl and Wahl, who did whatever they wanted to do in the paint. Still, we didn't exactly shut them down the way we could have. A Bo team would have kept them to 55 points or so...Gard seems less anal about annihilating bad teams on the defensive end, but this team has shown enough defensive chops this year to lock down when they have to. I hope...

But it's just re-hashed stuff from regular threads the past few weeks! So instead of keeping topics together and nice and organized where discussion about something is in one place things just get scattered into chaos of multiple threads forcing people to re-read and re-post the same information....and any new information or ideas or thoughts get get lost in the shuffle. It's ridiculous. I used to be able to keep up with almost everything posted here because it was organized so well. In order to do that now I'd have to read twice as much stuff of the same stuff in order to get the one or two posts that is interesting/new info/new posts that have something to say.
-
Half the topics on the main forum are "articles" yet there is no new information in these articles...it's just longer, re-hashed versions of regular threads with fewer responses and views. Please put articles in a separate "articles" sub-forum.

Wisconsin Football 2022- The Jim Leonhard Show ends, the Luke Fickell era begins
Oxy replied to homer's topic in Other Sports
Bowl games are fun. Certainly they don't "matter" in the same sense that the playoff games "matter"...but guess what? Those playoff games don't "matter" in the same sense that things that ACTUALLY matter within the grand scheme of life. But, it's fun. Also, these minor bowl games actually take on MUCH more meaning within the modern landscape of transfers and draft-eligible sit-outs. It gives a lot of young guys a chance to simultaneously play what is basically an exhibition game under big bright lights under extraordinary circumstances. Sure, "nationally" these games don't matter one bit, but other than the NFL (and MAYBE college FB playoffs), there isn't really a "national" sporting event that everybody cares about anyway. -
Current service time (years.days): Woodruff 4.161 Burnes 4.049 Lauer 4.033 Houser 4.010 Tellez 4.004 Barring extensions, all of these guys will reach FA at the same time, yet the Brewers basically gain an extra 157 of control for Woodruff relative to Rowdy. If it is a reasonable thing to do, playing the service time game can be quite beneficial.
-
Really? Hiura was pretty obviously held down. Nobody else was clearly ready to play or definitely the best option.

Rumor: Market "Very Active" For Brandon Drury
Oxy replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Is he enough of an upgrade over Brosseau and Toro to be worth going after for the wrong price? -
Ho-hum. Team sleep-walked through 27 minutes before waking up and basically doing exactly what was expected of them (20+ point victory). McGee got some extra minutes, but I was hoping we could see more of Hodges/Ilver in this one. Not seeing them makes me hope the enter the transfer portal this Spring. They aren't Wisconsin natives and would likely be behind Yalden and Winter next year, let alone a transfer we bring in or Wahl coming back...Tea leaves are pointing to the portal...
-
And somehow we got one (with 5! years control!)...plus another couple of bullpen arms...for Esteury Ruiz--likely a AAAA player. Strange times.

Restaurant to be Named Later Finally Gets a Name
Oxy replied to Brewcrew82's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
What? It seems to me like "Later" was the clear leader for this title. More of a Night Club name, I guess. -
I think there will be a game this year where Essegian goes all Jimmer Fredette or Steph Curry and just cans a bunch of 30 footers because he feels like it. Mostly he has stayed within a couple feet of the line, but reports are he has the LONG range bomb in his bag as well.
-
UW basketball. The most over-achieving sports franchise in the last 25 years. To wildly over-perform pre-season expectations and predictions year after year after year after year for like 25 years now. Unbelievable. Sure, it's only early December, but is anybody going to bet against these guys?
-
To take your question literally, it's been 12 years...trading the farm for Greinke and Marcum and holding onto Fielder up until free agency. That was fun...but the last 5 years and next 5 years is way more fun...if it isn't it's only cuz...somehow...Brewer fans are...spoiled???? that cant be...
-
Would Mitchell, Ruiz, Ethan Small and maybe Russell Smith be enough to pry Bryan Reynolds away from the Pirates?
-
Wow. Heckuva W vs Marquette. Shot the lights out in the first half, withstood the inevitable comeback with Chucky recuperating, and held on again in OT. Lots of "what ifs?" for both sides here. Looks like a couple of tournament teams, anyway.
-
I haven't seen Wake Forest play, but their T-Rank profile looks like a balanced team...but guard dominant on offense. Lots of ineffective size. I'd hope Wahl can take advantage of that on the offensive end and that Hepburn and Klesmit can shut down their guards from scoring.
-
Wow. Loving this team...if Crowl and Chucky even begin to shoot they are awfully good. Tyler Wahl is the senior prototype of every player UW hopes to have. Conner Essegian is his heir.
-
Among the most UW type Ws of any W UW ever W-ed. Haters gunna hate. I'll take the W. Somewhere, Bo Ryan is smiling.
-
Huh. Mertz givith and Mertz taketh away. Didn't see that one coming.
-
They keep showing NOT Jim Leonhard on the sidelines saying that it is JL. Leonhard even walked in front of the guy once.
-
Not counting incompletions, they have 6 positive plays and 7 no gain or negative plays.
