Re: 2 Fatal Flaws
2026 will be special. This is a three year build. They will get young next year and take their lumps similar to 2015 under Pete. Going into 26 they’ll know which of their recruits are good and they can use the portal to supplement where guys haven’t quite developed. I wouldn’t hold your breath that they will hit the portal hard for next year. Next year is about proving that Fish will ride or die with his recruits. If the kids next year don’t show talent UW is in big trouble. I’m in long term LIPO mode on Fish.

If having cancer surgery and losing my dad in the same week wasn't enough, getting clown stomped by Iowa might be the thing to finish me off

Re: What States have you been to?
OK, Wisconsin drivers do suck. The drive from Madison to Green Bay this morning was lousy with all of those retards slowly cruising in the passing lane. They are full blown retarded drivers. On one stretch of a three lane freeway, everyone including trucks were in the left two lanes. Nobody but me in the far right lane passing all of those idiots.
The state with best drivers is surprisingly Vermont. They must enforce “left lane is for passing only” laws.

Re: 2 Fatal Flaws
Sark, Pete, Lake and DeBoer inherited way better roster situations than Fisch.
I’m not saying we might not have to fire Fisch at some point so don’t twist.
But Creedence needs to be given to how hard year 1 was going to be. If Fisch was 6-1 right now it be some very impressive stuff.
On another note, I’m guessing home field advantage on the long road trips will prove to be a big deal in the B1G moving forward.

Re: Unlucky Loss in a close game
DeBoer isn't here anymore. Lot of crying over spilt milk.
The admin isn't perfect but it gave enough of a shit to make the best hire available when we were the last team looking for a coach.
Re: 2 Fatal Flaws
The OL feels like they really put it together for a play here and there and then have massive breakdowns. The OL situation and some other situations required some rabbits out of the hat pulls to exceed expectations and nothing happened.

Re: 2 Fatal Flaws
Fair and I'm not an anti Sark guy on here. I think the situation he walked into in 2009 was really friendly though compared to what Fisch took over at Arizona. Not that I've deep dived that roster or anything. Having Locker there was huge for Sark.

Re: 2 Fatal Flaws
The O line thing is infuriating and the first major red flag following the Fisch hire. Fisch knew our o line was decimated after last season and yet, as the OP pointed out, he put in almost no effort into getting portal guys for that position. So what we're left with is a bunch of freshmen from the 2 years that Huff couldn't recruit and some grad transfers that should be playing at some place like UC Davis
