Really? One that is consistent and talented. The defense is the biggest problem. I&#39;m not sure firing Brett is the right option (although I&#39;m starting to feel like that&#39;s not a bad way to go) but the Badgers are never going to get out of Florida with a horrible and weak defense, an inconsistent QB and the ability to always fall apart in the last 1/2 of every game. The Michigan game was embarrassing. Penn &amp; Iowa par for the course.BadgerInNYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006346130897012230.post-46132773729022454352008-12-27T17:43:00.000-08:002008-12-27T17:43:00.000-08:00I think its hilarious that people felt compelled to write about how the student section should be ashamed because they did not fill the stands. I remember as a senior that Barry sent an email to the student population asking them to "tone down the vulgarity" in the student section...but I guess that was a different time and a different flavor of student section types that camped out at the Kohl Center during the week to get tickets. Does it really matter if the students show up or not? It shouldn't matter to the players because a stadium packed with fans or not packed, they have to play the other team. <BR/><BR/>As for the worry about playing Va Tech before the "murderous" stretch of Big Ten play...why should that matter at all? I think it probably had more to do with trying to please boosters who donate a lot of money to the University and want to see an ego boosting blowout. Something along the lines of rich people donating money to Harvard because it makes them appear important instead of donating those millions to a smaller school or school with less of an endowment that would actually benefit from a huge donation.<BR/><BR/>As for the triple option, if it was so devastatingly efficient, how come they don't play it in the NFL or in the higher level of College Football? Hmm......the Academies play it because they may or may not get quality players because they are in the buisness of training military officers, not football players (well, except to beat Army!) and anyone who mentions the Citadel as a great football power...you have to be kidding me. My buddies who are El Cid Alumni have stated that football games are good excuses to get drunk with the alumni pre-gaming near the stadium.<BR/><BR/>All in all, Bret Bielema today has shown us why he is the next generation of college football coaches and why guys like Bobby Bowden are destined for the trash heap of history....12 Knots to Nowherehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06213715442856078957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006346130897012230.post-60002659215166393362008-12-04T07:18:00.000-08:002008-12-04T07:18:00.000-08:00Weber State (I know I had to look them up too) beat Cal-Poly by much more that Wisconsin did just a week later.

As I've already mentioned in previous posts, I'm a UW graduate and I've supported the football program since the mid 70s. What I won't support is a coach who is running the program into the ground. In case you can't remember what happened last season, here's a recap:<BR/><BR/>They lost all their games against ranked opponents. Their seven wins came against football juggernauts Akron (5-6), Marshall (4-7), Fresno State (7-4), Illinois (5-7), Indiana (3-9), Minnesota (7-5), and FCS Cal Poly. That's two wins over teams with a winning record and both wins were by three points. <BR/><BR/>Just about as unimpressive as it gets.David Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02275294704956469175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006346130897012230.post-74842102955521090372008-12-02T16:55:00.000-08:002008-12-02T16:55:00.000-08:00David Miller go whine some where else and if you dont like the wasy wisconsin football is then go find another teamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006346130897012230.post-76527810176961874902008-12-02T14:41:00.000-08:002008-12-02T14:41:00.000-08:00...and this one...<BR/><BR/>"Bielema has taken wisconsin to a bowl game every year since he has been here. if that isnt good enough then you are just greedy."<BR/><BR/>Thats what's known as 'settling', as in settling for any bowl game.

The problem is the results, as evidenced by their won-lost record, shows the team is moving in the wrong direction.

Have you watched any good college football teams like USC, Texas, Florida or even Ohio State lately, like in the last decade? Their offenses both run and throw the football, an amazing innovation that keeps defenses off balance!
