    Purging the Pelini out of this team....

    Bo recruited this class, and left the holes where they are now. AA won us a lot of games last year we would have lost without him. M-State, for one example. Yesterday's loss is not on the players, but on the staff. As much as I hate to say it, I think Bo wins this game. The other losses, I...

    Time to fire Eichorst

    Results aren't as expected so far for many fans, but, it is early and we can't argue the last coach left us a ton of talent at certain positions. I agree, I expected us to be better than we have played, but it is a process. Patience is key, and hopefully it pays off... I certainly wasn't happy...

    Week 5, Serious Wisconsin Predictions

    Toss up. If we actually call run plays, we win. If we call the offense like last week......LONG GAME. Passing wasn't working, yet we tried to force it. It blows my mind how often we tried to force the pass last week. I want to believe we won't force the pass as much this week, but I honestly...

    Guess who's back, back again....

    I agree with you in some ways. In a way, giving him a year to recover is safer for a full recovery, plus he can improve his skill set and be a stronger factor next year. However, if he is healthy, he adds another dimension to special teams, jet sweeps, etc. that can be a spark for us the rest of...

    Winning streak continues for awhile!

    I really hope you're right about the win streak, but as of now I'm not convinced we will go on one. Before the season I guessed anywhere from 8-10 wins. I figured MSU and OSU in CCG would be losses, plus a game or two more, realistically. I'll be the first to admit I didn't expect us to lose to...

    I want the red pants back

    Too superstitious.

    Does anybody honestly see us losing to Illinois?

    I think we win tomorrow, and we build some confidence moving forward. I hope to see a blowout, but think this game will be close. It is possible that we lose--but I think that's unlikely unless we struggle on offense, which I don't think we will. The wind should also be favorable for us...

    I would rather finish 3-9 & beat Wisconsin

    I'm assuming OP was being overly dramatic to get his post across. If not, I'd imagine he would be calling for MRs job at the end of the year, as many fans would be with that record.

    Beating Michigan State would...

    MSU win would be great, but we have to be realistic. We have to play well against other teams and get wins. If we have a losing record, or a .500 record, that win diminishes in value in my opinion. I don't think we will have a losing record, or be .500, but with how we have played thus far, it...

    Terrible pass defense makes other teams pass more

    Hopefully the coaches are working on fixing the pass defense. I want to believe it's just adjusting to a new system, but Banker's defense was never great in the past. We have better athletes than OSU did on defense, though. We will see how the pass defense fares the rest of the year. Lot of...

    Shanle today on 590 reminded me of a very important point.

    LB or defensive QB, has to communicate with DBs. LB adjustments and shifts change how DBs have to cover. It's like saying Tommy only talks to receivers and backs, but not the line, "Switch to a run, switch to a run," and linemen stay in pass protection. See why it's important everyone on offense...

    Call your shot....

    It's honestly tough to say at this point. Illinois - W a close game Wisconsin - W Minnesota - W/L think this could go either way Northwestern - W (always play us tough, could realistically be a loss. Fingers crossed). Purdue - W Michigan State - L Rutgers - W (think it will be interesting...
