For the first time since joining the B1G, if we actually play NW, we beat them senseless.....They are going to walk into a healthy and extremely pi$$ed off Nebraska team.....

We are in the beginning stages of seeing a light at the end of the tunnel from roster flipping, redshirting and strength and conditioning 

 

It's early, but we look pretty damn good at the line of scrimmage.  On both sides

There's no conspiracy and they're not scared of us. It seems as if they're having an outbreak (possibly their players' fault, or possibly just bad luck) and are trying to get ahead of it so that they only have to miss one week voluntarily instead of three mandatorily. Get mad at the Big Ten for bungling this season and providing no flexibility with this asinine half-measure of a schedule. 

National writers even starting to weigh in and make fun of Wisconsin...for being afraid.

Last call for alcohol is earlier now.


Apparently not for Kool aid though, which you have to be chugging if you think anybody is ducking this team. 
 

We just had an entire week of ‘ya know getting beat by 5 tds wasn’t really that bad’ posts.

Mike Farrell:

 

“Nebraska is being targeted and screwed.

To me it’s clear that the Huskers are getting the screws put to them by the Big Ten. They were vocal about playing this season and obviously rattled some cages at the Big Ten office and were rewarded with Ohio State, Wisconsin and Penn State in their first four games. Now the Badgers lose some key players to COVID and the game against the Huskers is cancelled when they would have a very good chance to win. What if this wasn’t Barry Alvarez’s team? Alvarez is, after all, the puppet master of the Big Ten. What if it was Nebraska who was missing two QBs? You think they’d cancel a game against Wisconsin? No chance. It’s clear this is a message to the Huskers for their daring take that we should actually play football this season and even though Nebraska helped save the football season in the Big Ten this kind of punishment will continue for years to come. And it’s petty and unprofessional and the leadership at the Big Ten, Alvarez included, should be ashamed. These are the people that postponed the season, got egg on their face when others played and then started the season so late that there is no wiggle room to postpone a game like they can in the Big 12, SEC and ACC. And it’s simply ridiculous.

I have vented. Thank you.”

So...

It's also rate that has been above 20% for 2 weeks and 15% for a month. And it's a metric where, as testing frequency grows, increases the likelihood of having a high rate.

 

If they've been above 20% for two weeks and 15% for a month, and they're at 27% now... 

 

Why did they play Illinois? Shouldn't they have shut down for that game, too?

Much better than previous years for sure.  Not bad to hold our own at the LOS against OSU......

People buy into conspiracies because it's easier to do that than accept a bleak reality: That there's a surging pandemic going on, and that playing sports during it was going to be difficult and unwieldy at best.

 

Ask yourself what's more likely: 1) That one school that has kicked our asses for 10 straight years without really passing the ball wanted to duck us and coordinated with a massive, de-centralized corporation in a couple of days to intentionally screw only us over, or 2) That one school just had some players make a dumb decision during a pandemic and are trying to stem an outbreak before they are forced to cancel a third of their season.

 

Constantly playing the victim any time something bad happens is getting really old. Sometimes you just get unlucky.

We know the answer...

 

One school (Wisconsin) CAN play this weekend according to the rules that they helped to write.

 

They are CHOOSING not to play.  That is the answer, they are choosing not to play.  How would playing create an outbreak?  Germed players stay at home, rest of the non-germers practice.

 

But now...now they are going to give 18-22 year old guys 7 days off with nothing to do?    Guess what...they will find stuff to do.

By the sounds of things, Wisconsin is gonna come out of this looking reeaaally bad.

They are choosing not to play one game voluntarily in an attempt to stem a burgeoning outbreak and not go above the threshold that would make them cancel three games. Don't be intentionally dense because you're mad.

 

The tests are giving false negatives; that's how the outbreak at Baylor happened. Wisconsin can't be sure of who has it and who doesn't, so they are choosing not to gather in a large group to limit the spread. I would hope our coaches would do the same thing.

Agreed.  I'd be much more frustrated if Wisconsin decided to play and then a week later Nebraska has an outbreak in their locker room costing them more than one game.

Stem it how???

 

THEY HAD RULES IN PLACE AND THEY BROKE THEM.  But now, by giving them a week off to "stay inside" they are going to follow the rules?  That is dense.  

 

I am mad but not dense.  I know why they are doing it, it isn't because they are scared it is because they think it benefits them...it benefits them at the expense of others that HAVE followed the rules.
