    It's never just one thing usually but while we can list off the reasons for why Wisconsin can't be OSU, we can also look to reasons why we rarely beat them. It isn't just the talent gap. We refuse to change our style to give ourselves a chance at doing something special. Most Badger fans and the University are completely satisfied with what they have for a football program. That's a big reason as to why it'll never progress into something that takes the next step. They are happy with raking in money and usually competing for a B10 West title and then going on to whatever bowl game. It's a great situation they are in so it's hard to argue against it. For fans wanting to see something different and to see them take a few risks to do something special, it probably just isn't going to occur.

    Where did that guy go?

    Pinstripe Bowl discussion yet?

    I guess I struggle with this, as this carries over from pro sports and doesn't translate well into college. Is every college basketball season a failure if you don't win game 6 of the NCAA tourney? I don't think so. You play to beat your rivals, compete for a conference championship, and to win a bowl game against a marquee opponent, preferably in a prestigious game. The season ISN'T a complete waste of time like it is in the NBA or NFL. I do agree that you play for other things and all of that is great but if you have a league with 130 teams and only 5ish are setup to actually be a champion, it’s very hard for me (and I’m sure other fans) to really engage themselves with that league. It almost comes down to what’s the point? It’s just a bunch of randomness for the most part.

    Stayed closer longer than I expected but the result is about the same. Badger program is good but just not at that level. It stinks that it is like that because for me, if you really don’t have much chance to win it all, the season doesn’t mean much. It’s just a bunch of random games of guys trying to play pro ball. It’s sort of like being a diehard AAA fan but at least those teams all have the same resources for the most part.

    Austin Allen would be a fun get.

    It'd be great for this Packers team to get this win away from Lambeau and to keep the Vikings a game behind. I think they can do it either against Mahomes or not as it should be a good ball game. I am interested to see our defense matchup against their speed.
  10. pacopete4
    I'm a little surprised that Vegas doesn't already have a team. Maybe they don't want to knock out their AAA team? Either way, that would be a good move as it would keep that team in the same region for division's sake. Otherwise, I agree, both Indy and Nashville would be good locations.

    The pinstripes are a great uniform. Hope it is true.
  12. pacopete4
    I would rather have more seats behind home plate that are of the style they are now than fewer seats that happen to be more comfortable.
  13. pacopete4
    Pina can catch 90-100 games. Can they find someone decent enough to catch the other 60-70? That is the key to this equation.
  14. pacopete4
    Keep seeing the title and thinking Counsell retired. I loved King Kong on the mound. If Melvin did anything wrong it is that he didn’t trade for him even sooner. Wish he had more years as a Brewer.
  15. pacopete4
    Correct. And what an odd scenario to boot.
  16. pacopete4
    Good move for the 49ers. Will help them offensively. If they get that on track, they'll be tough to beat with that defense they have.
  17. pacopete4
    Yeah, that's a move the Patriots can make, because they will just go out and acquire another Josh Gordon at some point. Because they're the Patriots. The Packers don't have the luxury. Why don't the Packers have that luxury? Teams choose not to use all of their resources but the Patriots do their thing and continue to make it work. Wish our GM would do much of the same. Target more players that would fit what we are doing. Stop being afraid to make a mistake with trading a draft pick. The draft is mostly a miss, to begin with.
  18. pacopete4
    All depends on how the rest of the season plays out. NFL losses are a bit different from NCAA losses. Especially if you are a Wisconsin team as most people don't believe in them, and sometimes rightfully so.
  19. pacopete4
    Huh? Nebraska had no losses. West Virgina has no losses and were still jumped by FSU (that years champ) to play for a Natty. Wisconsin wasn’t getting in.
  20. pacopete4
    People calling it the worst loss in Wisconsin history clearly aren't old enough to remember the loss to Minnesota in 1993 that probably prevented them from ACTUALLY winning a National Championship, or a horrendous loss to Cincy in 1999 that may have done the same. I doubt anyone at that time thought Alvarez 'might not be the right guy for the job', though. Again, I think the fan base for Wisconsin sports has become spoiled and fairly intolerant of normal losses that happen on occasion to most programs. We only think it happens to Wisconsin, though, for some reason. Neither of those seasons were going to result in a National Championship. 1993, they go on to tie Ohio State which would’ve taken them out of it. In 1999, they lose to Cincy but then lose Michigan the week after. Neither of these seasons were going to play out for a Natty bid as there was no playoffs. Alvarez was great for the role he played in resurrecting Badger football but in the end, he wasn’t “the guy” for job of taking us to highest level. He had opportunities and blew it. Chryst feels like much of the same right now. Call if a spoiled fan base all you want but it’s okay for fans to want more. The path is there for a Badgers team to get into a playoff format for something real and hopefully either Chyst or someone else will get them to do that someday.
  21. pacopete4
    Can Coan throw past 10 yards or do Chyst hold this offense back? That is a question I'd love to know. We have Coan who seems to be a solid QB and Mertz who has a whole highlight reel of hammering the deep ball. When are we going to see an explosive offense at UW?
  22. pacopete4
    Rodgers' rating needs to be perfecter? I get the sentiment, but I disagree. I'd rather roll with the young guys we have, and see them grow with the offense. I don't think using Oakland as a gauge for our WR's is a good idea. Yes, yesterday was fantastic, but we have also seen what our WR's look like against good teams. Nabbing Sanders gives you a good 1-2 punch with Adams that is stable and then you can fill in the rest with the younger WR's.
  23. pacopete4
    The only negative to yesterday is that Gutey probably thinks he's set at WR now. Getting a Sanders would really improve this team.
  24. pacopete4
    Oakland playing like they are only a score down.
  25. pacopete4
    Scoring a TD, heck even 3, out of the break would be a marvelous thing.
