Popular Post JJ Husker Posted October 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2021 I might be in the minority but that game gave me hope. That was a legit top ten team and we were right there with them. One fumble at the worst possible time and a bad decision to not take the 3 points on our first drive. Those two things were the difference. The offense and play calling in the first half were not ideal and we got hosed by the officials every time we turned around. It hurts but we are so close to flipping the script on so many of these close losses. I don’t know when we’ll make it over that last hurdle but for the first time in a long time we can play with anybody on our schedule. Thats not claiming any kind of a moral victory but it is a fact. We are on the doorstep. 2 7 1 Quote Link to comment

Wisconsin still has good coaching and can turn their season around. The only 2 likely wins are Purdue and Minnesota but I struggle trusting this staff and team in any game anymore. Wisconsin has a good coaching staff? When did they hire new coaches? Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Sucks because I feel like AM had really turned the corner on game management. But he pretty much gets an F in game management today for that mistake alone. Quote Link to comment

We have a player that has led the nation in TOs for the last 2 years. Do the math. And their offense can’t capitalize on said turnovers. Stop the run…. Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Learned once you have the losing gene in you, it’s very hard to get rid of it. Quote Link to comment

Because even if Martinez comes back…I dunno…do we want him to next year? If some big time name is in the portal I think Scott has to cut his loses and ask AM to move along. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Also, it’s looking likely that 5-7 will get teams bowling. So is our academic rating (or whatever they use to judge) good enough for that? Quote Link to comment

I would gladly take that over 15-24 or whatever Frost's record is now. Wisconsin is having an off season for them, but I would not count them out from finishing 2nd in the West division.

Hey remember that time Frost went for it on 4th and 2 instead of kicking the chip shot? Man those were good times. Quote Link to comment

I wonder if Barry leaving will cause Wisky to fall to Urf. He had his hand in a lot of football decisions (supposedly)… Quote Link to comment
Cornfedred Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 That Frost is doing just enough to justify keeping his entire staff in tact for one last “Sh!t or get off the pot year”. Not sure how I feel about that. Quote Link to comment
