Geeze, I can even just sense the smugness from the web right now. You know it's college football season when you're hearing mark may and praying he gets hit by a bus.


If it is fake, my props on whomever's writing this, as they've just nailed it.

Well it's true in a lot of respects. I expect Wisconsin to content heavily for the B10 crown and the schedule does set up for them to have a great shot at being undefeated.

I also think UConn may kick off the season by beating UM.

Hate MM, but his comments here are only slightly exaggerated IMO.

I think it’s too much or too strong or whatever.’ I said, ‘well, we might have to.’ And he goes, ‘well, if we have to, then you’ve got to tell me, because I won’t do it.’ And I said, ‘OK, then I might have to tell you. Fine.'''

I think Wisonsin is the Virginia Tech of the Big Ten. One of those teams that always looks great on paper before the season, but winds up losing 2 or 3 games and out of a BCS game.

Don't get me wrong, I'd kill to be in there position as a purdue fan, but I just don't see any team that doesn't play in either the horseshoe or that toxic waste dump in ann arbor, ever really winning a national title.

also you're probably write about scUM losing to UConn, really this is michigan's rock bottom season where they end up finally getting rid of Dickrod and either luring Les Miles or Jim Harbaugh away to run the show.

I have serious doubts about the Wisky defense being Big Ten champion caliber. They really struggled at times last year, and they lost half their starters, including their best pass rusher, Schofield.

Offense should be very good. They finally look like they have a receiving corps to go with the power running game.

I think the key component is the schedule, Dan.

If you give them a punchers chance vs OSU and Iowa, you are giving them a punchers chance to get to the National Championship game IMO.

I don't know about going undefeated, but Wisky is my BCS at-large pick out of the Big Ten.

ESPN college preview - big ten players picked WI to win the Big 10..like 40% to 37% for OSU. Also Terrelle Pryor most overrated. Hoping this is the year he lives up to the hype cuz he hasnt shown much yet.

I think he's shown more than he's been given credit for.

Here is a post from another board with some stats that will surprise some, I get the feeling that if he had a more traditional smoother delivery with the same results people would feel a lot different (obviously the 12th and 13th games can skew historical placement):

Just to put things in perspective,in spite of all his faults, weaknesses and shortcomings, here is where he stands after 2 years:

Total Offense/game-career: #1 Terrelle Pryor 185.2 y/g. Followed by Schlichter, Germaine, Smith and Hoying.

Total Offense-Season: 4th place.

Total Offense-Game:5th, 9th and 11th place.

Total Offense/Game-Season: 4th place.

Touchdowns Responsible For-Season: 4th place.

Touchdowns Responsible For-Career: 8th place.

200 yd games-Season: 3rd place.

200 yd games-Career: 8th place.

300 yd games-Season: 3rd place.

300 yd games-Career: 4th place.

Total Offense-Career: 11th place. If he gets 3000 yds Total Offense this season, which, barring injury is very reasonable, he will move into 2nd place behind Schlichter.


Passing:

Yards - Season: 13th place.

Yards - Career: 10th place.

Completion Pct. - Season: 7th place.

Completion Pct. - Career: 4th place.

Yards/Game - Career: 7th place.

Badgers have their best team on paper since Alvarez left. Offense should be good. Would agree with Dan's sentiment on the D. Also, I am not sold on Bielema.

Their outta conference schedule is very soft. Only test before they play us is their game at Michigan State in week 5 ... which I see as a pivotal early season conference game.

Good chance we roll into Camp Randall on Oct with us and them both 6-0 and both in the top 5 in the country.
