Divisional Weekend Thread

I don’t like OSU, but I like ND even less.
Go Buckeyes!

Nowhere else to post this.

Me too. When I was young, and Notre Dame was on TV every week and hardly any other games, I was a Notre Dame fan - Hanratty, Seymour, etc. But it all ended abruptly when Notre Dame hired that all world piece of shit, Dan Devine. Every since then, I just can't bring myself to root for Notre Dame.

Glad OSU won; they spent 22 million in NIL in the offseason. Football is going to be so money driven going forward. It's kinda sad. The great recruiters are devalued because if the players don't play immediately, they just leave. Crazy money in FB

You ain’t dig NIL and the transfer portal?

I thought you would be jolly. I mean, under the old system, your beloved Badgers couldn’t recruit QBs worth a duck. Nowadays, if a Joe Burrow is stuck on Ohio State’s depth chart, Wisconsin can pony up frogskins for the Burrow’s service.

It’s about time them young uns get paid to play. Futbol, unlike wimpy soccer, is a violent sport with omnipresent health risks. Compensation and free transfer are fair game.

There's actually a tape of that? hahahaha - you oughta post a link so people would believe it.

There have been a helluva lot of Badger QBs playing in the NFL in recent decades - not exactly stars, but good enough to hang around.

I actually don't hate the portal shit or even the damn NIL simply for pragmatic reasons - meaning it seems to be a positive thing for the Badgers, football and basketball both, not to mention the women's sports where the Badgers tend to be among the very best in the country.

As for the players getting paid, yes but ...... Most of those getting NIL money are on the road to being NFL millionaires anyway. Those who aren't good enough - but still risking their necks and all other body parts - don't get much NIL anyway. Just making it straight out play for pay for everybody with a salary structure a little better for the better players might be a better way.

One semester worth of Russ Wilson ain’t denote QB whisperer, hombre. Alvarez couldn’t recruit QBs and neither do the fish who came after him.

Bills gotta know Mahomes will draw a couple roughing penalties. Make it count and put him out of the game.

No, no, no.
Just hit him clean. Beat the crap out of him. Keep him in the game. Serve him up what he isn’t used to.

There is no hitting him clean when he is protected. Defensive player gets within 2 feet of him and they get flagged.

I was referring to Sorgi, Bollinger, and several others whose names don't quite come to mind.

Yup, gotta be just a split second better.
Gotta beat the best to be the best.
