    tOSU 31, Vagers 17, 7 of the 17 come in garbage time....

    Let's get some college football banter going!

    Weak............ I'm not sure what to make of this game. I wish we had Stave yet as starting our 3rd string QB with 3 knee surgeries is not the best. It doesn't mean anything to the Badgers other than pride as we are already going to Indy. Guess that is the reward for running a clean program.

    BTW, you guys really think you are going to waddle into the Camp in blow us out? Really? Recent history speaks otherwise.


    BTW, Badgers are a mild favorite right now. What does that say? I'm not sure who is going to win. OSU is clearly the better team right now with our QB issues.

    Come on, if you were betting with your brain.. There is no way you take Bucky as 2.5 favorite, I don't care if they are playing the game in Madison or Mars... Not happening.

    Sure Wis has a chance to win, but I am a homer and don't look at the slim chance that actually it happens.

    Your right my brain tells me NOT to bet bucky -2.5 points. However, you have to admit the people setting those odds are smarter than you and me when it comes to this. My brain tells me a close game and OSU by a field goal.

    Senior day is in play as well and I know you are aware that makes a difference.

    So when are you going to admit Bret is worth something for a coach? The Badgers were terrible the first few weeks. He fired our new line coach from the SEC and promoted someone that can teach how to run block. This is his best coaching job so far in his career as the wheels could of come off quick on this cart.

    Bama was a 14 point favorite against A&M... How'd that one turn out?

    They choose spreads to dictate how they want people to bet, not on who they really think will win or lose.

    It annoys me just to look at Brett... His head is five sizes to big and that stupid brah hair cut.

    Actually it's how they think people will bet. Not how they want them to bet. They want it 50/50 right down the middle.


    What did you think of Barry? So is Brett a good coach or not?

    I like(d) Barry... I do not know if Brett is a good coach or not, he is at least in the top 50% of coaches, where he falls in there I do not know. However, I do know he chokes in most big games. He is 2-4 in bowl games with 2 Rose Bowl losses.

    You guys cant even trash talk each other without mentioning bama...:lmao:

    Also saw the jab, about how he fired the former SEC line coach and now they can block...why the hate...you were blaming the sec for a line coach of all people. I would think since the SEC runs the ball alot, he would know how to teach blocking. The problem may have been teaching blocking to all those slow lineman and backs...like a honors teacher being ask to teach physics to the highschool dropout:ninja:

    Scott...once your boys get of probabtion, your gonna be killing these guys (on the boards) again, I'm sure that feels so good...I like when tOSU is relevent on the big stage, always makes for some good trash talk for you guys and us boys down south.


    Carry on with your Wiscon....er I mean bama/SEC thread

    It was said after the fact that the SEC coach guy was an expert in pass blocking but did not have the elite skills required at a run first program like Wisconsin.

    It just was not a good match and the results prove that.

    No one to blame but yourselves... Wis took a perfect season away from tOSU a few years ago. Michigan hasn't done any serious damage in a decade.

    Why wouldn't these kids hate Wis just as much as Mich?

    Good question. On paper it seemed like a good idea. But I give him credit for knowing he made a mistake and fixing it.
