sheesh, Badgers falling apart

I just hate seeing the same old $EC love...

I should hope for Wisconsin to lose...helps Nebraska...

but somehow I guess I hope for my conference to look good nationally



Fukc the Badgers. Helps the Huskers and the Gophers.

It's not SEC Love, it's a deeper SEC team with better athletes at almost every position.

I'm just happy to see Wisconsin play a non conference game against a team better than me and some neighborhood kids.

198 rushing, against a pretty darn good defense. 100 yard kick return TD. Somehow he only had 4 first half carries.

Now, if he just got more comfortable putting the ball in his left arm, when running left, I wouldn't have anything to criticize about his game. He's a beast.

The best part was when he slowed at the 5 during his KR and the guy caught him right at the goal line. He just shook him off like he was a fly.

No kidding

I was gonna ask when the last time our Husker lovers on here pulled for the Sooners to win a National Title? (back in the day)
Theres conference loyalty ... and then theres "I'd rather die a painful death than pull for those scumbags" Right, guys?

They've got about six of them. Don't expect to see the green helmets much. I like the smoke helmets the best.

And remember, before you hate on Oregon, Oregon was the Gophers prior to 1988, minus the titles from the '40's.

Over the past ten years they have done pretty well for themselves.

Baseball still astounds me.

Don't have a team.
Oregon State has success and wins a couple CWS
Phil Knight: "We should get a team. Let's build a ridiculous stadium and hire one of the best coaches in the country."
2-3 years later; one of the best

Crazy.

Will this serve as a wakeup call for them or will they, being the #1 target, struggle most of the year and lose?

I think they will play a lot better this week. First games are tough for most teams. They will bounce back.

Two things to add though,
1. They used to have a team, up until around 1981, and the lack of a baseball team had hurt them a few times in football recruiting for two sport guys.
2. Knight shelled out big donor bucks to keep Pat Casey at OSU.
Just as he shelled out a lot of money to OSU in the past, as well as his two alma maters, Oregon and Stanford.


Now, that being said, the new baseball stadium is pretty nice.

Are we insinuating that money plays a major role in most successful programs?

From this

http://bluebook.state.or.us/notable/notknight.htm




Knight donated $105 million to the Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2006, the largest donation to a business school in history to that date. He also provided financial assistance to his high school alma mater Cleveland High School in Portland for their new track, football field, and gymnasium. Knight and his wife, Penny, donated $100 million to the OHSU Cancer Institute in Portland in 2008 and gave $5 million to Willamette University in 2009. A prominent booster of University of Oregon sports, Knight's donations over the years have paid for many state of the art athletic facilities at the university.

from this


http://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/index.ssf/2014/05/pat_casey_dared_to_dream_and_n.html

Pat casey did this






He dared to call a meeting with Nike founder, and University of Oregon alum Phil Knight to ask for funding. He not only got the meeting, he got the money, helping spike an upgrade in facilities that now rank among the conference's best.

They wait 2 years to investigate? Really?

The jerseys are different, but snazzy.. I'm not a huge fan of the helmet.

Aside from the clock numbers, which aren't awful, just not close to traditional, the color scheme and design is very nice.
