    What happened to UW's bags of money?

    Counterfeit?

    Saving it for better players come spring
    Better players portaling in the spring that aren’t the starter or in the two deeps? Sounds like a good plan.
    Well, they will still likely be better than what is on UW's roster currently.
    They’ll be filling empty spots so yes, I would hope they were better than nothing.

    My point is we’re not bringing in Hunter, or Watson, or Green, or Rogers caliber guys during that period.

    Next years going to suck ass.

    Adjust the expectations and next year will be fine ...

    I'm actually looking forward to seeing a bunch of guys get snaps that probably wouldn't have otherwise ...

    Will give us a chance to see who is and isn't part of the long-term solution

    Happy for your ability to make lemonade with lemons.

    Unfortunately, UW will need to make lemonade with turnips

    I'm not buying the Sky is falling bullshit, however, I'm not subscribing to "I don't see a loss on the schedule" either. The truth lies in the middle. We haven't been delt a good hand in this shit thanks to DeBoer. The program in general is doing what it takes to put a winning product on the field.

    We need smart, physical football guys, I know everyone wants the high profile sizzle bullshit, I don't think there will be much of that.

    You should be able to ferment turnips into jail hooch, so there’s still hope.

    Considering this weird situation where only a few schools can be poached from, and UW is one of them, it's paste eating levels of stupid to run with this narrative that the current players don't like the new staff and are leaving.

    "They won't be able to field a team!!!!" as the Springfield drug task force closes in on their house with flashbangs..

    It's not going to turn into ASU or Michigan State. The staff is proven enough we don't have fucking Herm Edwards and Mel Tucker managing the program. And we were just in national fucking championship game. Pretty sure kids tuned into that.

    Don't forget Jimmy Lake. His 2021 class was bad and the 2022 class that DeBoer / staff stitched together wasn't much better.

    The Natty game proved that UW can and will play at the highest level under the right circumstances. Last season squelched alot of the TTTT football theories and rhetoric. Hire coaches that want to win Natties and are football guys and find players that are tough, maybe overlooked with a chip on their shoulder, sprinkle in a few portal mercenaries and BAM! 7-5 Baby! Or 14-1..,,whatever

    More kids are going to leave in the spring. I am sure we will get a bunch also but good schools will be in market too, not just us. I think Fisch is playing the long game here with a new contract and will look for early enrollees and younger transfers that get beat out on the depth chart.
