They really aren't very good, although the defense will probably keep them in the game against most teams. Iowa's offense didn't score today (2 pic-6's were their only scores), after scoring 7 touchdowns against Ohio St. last week.
Sure it is fun, but so would be having more free time to be a college student. Also, it's fun until you blow your knee out or it's fun until you are 50 and having football related health issues. All I am saying is playing football at that level is a major sacrifice and puts an incredible demand on one's body. We shouldn't be so flippant about asking the players to play more games when the only benefit will be our personal entertainment and the schools bank accounts.
They are already getting that. We are asking for more, something more needs to be offered.
I'm here to be entertained. Whatever arraignment they need to make to compensate the players for these extra games, I'm fine with.
I like being entertained too, but this is 2017- entertainment is endless (even politics has turned into entertainment). I would never expect young adults to put themselves at more risk for no extra compensation.
Is the part of my response that says I'm for compensation getting filtered out??? This is twice now. I might have a virus on my machine
I am not calling them slaves- they are choosing to play football. However, the season is already longer than it was 30-40 years ago and it requires even more commitment, sacrifice, etc. I do think we should consider them as people and not just means for entertainment. If we keep adding game and adding requirements, maybe they should get something more in return.
Dodge what? I said it's an idiotic opinion to even suggest a scholarship is enough. Do you want it in crayon?
I'm just saying, they have scheduled stronger non-conf games the past few years. This season, they went back to their old ways of nothing but cupcakes, and then ended up with a weak conference schedule just by chance. So this is the bed they made. The Badgers don't have a schedule that's going to put them above a 1 loss team from a power conference. Its true they've done everything they can given the schedule, but also true Iowa at home today was the toughest opponent they've played. I know they've got Notre Dame on the schedule in a few years, but until then, the fact is they will have this issue every year.
*yawn* *stretch* Oh, you guys talking Wisconsin? That's mighty kind of you. It happens every 6 years or so but I'll take it. Not gonna lie it feels dirty having the Oregon honk defend us. He's got a point, but so does the committee. Run the table, they're in. Lose, even on a last second 98 yard FG to tOSU in the B1GCC? Out. Regardless, they're not in today.General Malaise said:
BYU was a perennial 10 win team when they were scheduled. How about that Mercer game for Bama next weekend? Talk about crazy OOCS. Hope those reserve 4* can recover. Bucky is doing it with mostly 3*.CletiusMaximus said:
People care less about the entire Pac 12 than they do Wisconsin. Let that sink in.
Wisconsin is having a great year, congrats. Oregon has a great recruiting class coming in but the jury is out if Taggart can actually coach. I think he needs to hire a good offensive coordinator this offseason.
That's what you pick out about the tough Bama schedule? Ok fine. FSU might beat BYU like 27-24.
Lol
And my point is, that matters how? BYU is poop. FSU is poop. Neither is a good win. Alabama is top 4 because this was perceived in August as a good win. Today, it's not. But they're not penalized and Wisconsin is.
OOC schedule might end up being comparable but Wisconsin is being hurt by their in-conference schedule. UM and OSU in a few weeks should help that.
Oh. In conference schedule. Ok yeah Wisconsin's is bad.
There's no room for logic in college football ramblings at 3am. Unless it involves a Hawaii over/under.

Hope the little one is treating you well. I had our 2mo for about 8 hours without mom for the first time. Along with our 5yo and 2yo. I'd put that up against any SOS in the country. Except @General MalaiseCurrently feeding a baby, surfing and watching replays.
