Water up to people’s ankles in the now only walkway in the Molitor Lot due to the new (illegal) rideshare lot. Not a pretty night at the ballpark, folks.

There are leaks everywhere. Bleachers and multiple spots on the field at least lol

The crowd tonight is fantastic

Could also wait until he’s not coaching at Illinois

The bull case is that Grimes brings more competency to the overall operation so the QB is better supported, right? Best case is a 2016 or 2017 where QB isn’t special but you can actually run the ball and Edwards is more efficient throwing the ball <40 times per game.

Yeah it’s what you said for freshman, lottery with switching out all the 2nd and 3rd year guys, senior rentals with a lot of lower levels or those with previous connections, and a very few career Badgers. Those are the 4 or 5 pools.
December 5, 2024 at 8:44 PM
Yeah, if it’s from the right school that might work. Flip side is they aren’t playing for a reason in most cases. Either way, I think 2nd/3rd year guys in portal is the new “3 star lottery” UW used to be good at. Hopefully they’re good at this too
December 5, 2024 at 8:27 PM
For sure. Hard to measure but I think part of why they’ve whiffed on rentals so much is because it’s hard to come in, master a system, and play fast in one year vs. doing it on scout and 2nd team for 3 years. They’re going to have to accelerate development big time with newcomers.
December 5, 2024 at 7:52 PM
I feel like they’re about the same they’ve ever been with the true frosh and even middle classes. The problem is it doesn’t matter since those aren’t the guys playing. Instead of Leon Jacobs being around to grow into a role, you’re having to rent a Thomas and hope it works. It’s hurting them.
December 5, 2024 at 7:45 PM
Dovetails the @buckaround.bsky.social episode but feel like the portal is mostly redshirt frosh and sophomores so they should be able to find what they’re losing. Mostly musical chairs in the middle classes while swinging bigger with the rentals.
December 5, 2024 at 7:37 PM
Yeah, insane levels of bounce. Tonje is great but different type of player.
December 4, 2024 at 3:22 AM
Outside of when Crowl and Winter were both on the court tonight it’s been really rough in that area. Amos and Gilmore are not getting it done.

Way too much publicity for that one to count. Ratzlaff was playing junior hockey on a weekend we all assumed he was on the team. Thats the type of deception and obscurity the award is all about.
November 27, 2024 at 1:58 AM
Only like 3 of us care about it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not the most important part of the program
November 26, 2024 at 11:55 PM
You rang?

2015 Ray Ball (duh)
2016 none awarded
2017 George Rushing
2018 Arrington Farrar and Keldric Preston
2019 none awarded
2020 none awarded
2021 none awarded
2022 Jake Ratzlaff
2023 none awarded

2023 seems reasonable. I think we need some finality before 2024 is awarded though

Can’t imagine why he’d do that given the depth chart but agree that’s possible given the timeline.
November 21, 2024 at 3:14 AM
Guessing he didn’t see any value in sticking around in Guiton’s room for 2 weeks when he’s gonna need maximum exposure to get a decent landing spot out of the portal so he went before the portal even opened.
November 21, 2024 at 2:41 AM
Weird he was so cagey about it. You’re going to be able to tell what’s going based off sideline body language pretty easily I’m guessing.

“Who’s calling the plays?” discourse is back! Who would have thought?!
November 18, 2024 at 7:05 PM
Van Dyke and Locke’s brother both have ACLs so I’m not sure how you’d run spring ball with the numbers they would have had in that room. Probably a good time to go nuclear on the offense.
