T1B

This whole run you've had the last couple of years WITH SMOKE AND MIRRORS is about to come to an end. You can only play with fire for so long. Illinois will win this game by 10-21 points and then it's all downhill from there. You're a mediocre team and you were last year.

Teams only get lucky for so long and then they just fall apart and implode. The end begins on Saturday and it will only get worse. Yes, I know the Big-10 sucks, but a team this bad cannot continue to win games.

I know, I know, Goober.....Iowa sucks and that will be your response, but the topic is Wisconsin and they not only suck but were LUCKY to beat Iowa.

Luck comes to an end on Saturday. Top 5?? My hairy nuts! You're not even Top 25. There's never been a crappier Top 10 team than Wisconsin.

I hope you've enjoyed this lucky run you've had because it's now over.

Illinois is a 3 point FAVORITE over a Top 5 team. That's all you need to know. Bet Illinois with confidence.

how did that asskicking to IU taste?

now i know why Gary Pinkel got out of playing Iowa?


He wanted to play competitive teams.

I see Wisky losing two conference games, which would be about par for them. Wisconsin isn't exactly USC, but they don't "implode" either. They generally beat those they're supposed to, but drop a big game or two a year. What exactly is your definition of "imploding?"

In any event, Wisky's got both UofM and OSU this year, and have tough road games at Illinois and PSU (as well as the OSU game). We'll know a lot more about them this year, than in year's past.

this?

Imploding?

Good point.

Yeah, Bielema sure likes to scabdick, but he doesn't let the bottom fall out like his good neighbor Mr. Ferentz.

Was JON rooting for IU this year, too?

Oh yeah, and I should probably take Wisconsin and the points.

At least Wiscy is a "fraud" that beats the teams they are supposed to.

this is about the funniest thing i've ever seen on this board, no matter what the incarnation.

That's interesting.

What that says, essentially, is that rankings at this point of the season don't mean shit.

It also says that we, as fans, don't care that they don't mean shit and still eagerly await the latest "official" rankings.

Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. I'll let you know on Sunday when the newest rankings come out.

Wiscy has been king of the scabdick wins thus-far and will run out of luck sooner or later. Illinois is at home and have played well of-late. Illinois could take this but I'll predict one more scabdick for Wiscy before their bubble pops.

I agree that the Badgers have played down to the level of their competition this year, and to continue to do so is playing with fire. I also think this team has a lot of talent, and whenever they decide to put together offense, defense and special teams full-time, they’ll be tough to beat.

They’ve gotten a ton of heat in the local media for winning ugly, and I think they’re developing a circle-the-wagons-us-against-the-world mentality right now. Being underdogs against a one-loss team can only add to that. They should also have the best corner in the Big 10 back on the field this weekend. And I have a lot of faith in Bielema.

RACK our smoke and mirrors, and RACK the Patrick Bateman troll.

17-1 over the last two years, with the nation’s longest winning streak.

Yeah, JON, we’re just lucky. Fucking retard.

it was a laugh riot.

Ok, that Patrick Batemen dude is fucking funny. Shit, I know it's smack at me but that's good. Props given when props are deserved and props are deserved there. Rack 'em!

Jon, it seems like ever since you started ripping Wisconsin, they've done nothing but win football games. I don't see how this week will be any different. Basically, whenever you spout off that Wisky=Fraud, I already know what's gonna happen in advance. Please stay away the week leading up to Nov. 3rd. Pleeeease.

They keep winning football games? Wow, congrats on being 1 play away from losing to Iowa and UNLV. Those teams are fucking terrible. And they were 1 play away from losing to MSU in a game they gave up 560 yards of offense. Regardless of who you are playing, that is pathetic. And then throw in the fact that Michigan St is nothing but an average team and that makes it even worse.

The fact of the matter is the difference between teams like Iowa and Wisconsin right now is they have the ability to make a play at the end. Iowa does not. Otherwise, they pretty much suck just as bad.

Look, if you haven't figured out by now that Wisconsin just isn't any good then you either don't know shit about football or you haven't been watching them play. It's not exactly this big secret. Wisconsin sucks, water is wet, the sky is blue.....

Wow, congrats on being 1 play away from losing to Iowa and UNLV

How many college football teams do you think would trade in their close losses for Wisconsin's close wins?

I'm guessing right around 100%.

A team that does nothing but win games doesn't "suck," JON. Wiscosin's a little overrated, and that's about it. They probably don't deserve to be in the top 5, but they are. No matter. If a team doesn't typically belong in a certain spot, they probably won't wind up finishing there. So if you're so confident that they blow, I wouldn't worry about it. Look, they're not USC. They're not LSU. But to say they flat out "suck" is just absurd.

The problem is, you're not doing well at hiding your bias. You hate Bucky, and you're letting that override your ability to reason.

I'm sure if Iowa was 16-1 right now (or whatever it is), with lotsa close wins, you'd be saying the same negative things about your Hawkeyes, right?

Uh huh.

What's funny is, Wisky will inevitably lose a game. Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not in three weeks. Hell, maybe not this entire season. Who knows. But of course when they do lose a game, JON will be in here promptly to remind everyone how Wisconsin was who he thought they were.

He's just pissed that the best Hayden Fox desciple isn't Luther, Dobber, or Kirk. It's Brent.
