Could do without these 2 clown announcers pining for the Zook years.

Any chance of a fake?

Of course the pillsbury dough boy drills it
Exactly he was figuring not to micromanage. And was starting to see merits with Bowl Wins. Thomas screwed us royally
You're looking at things through Beckman colored glasses. It's easier to say this after TB drove things into and through the ground. Zook didn't know what the score was in the middle of the game. If he was such a good coach, he'd have been picked up by someone in the last 5 years. He isn't.
So hard to be patient, but Lovie will get us much higher than RZ ever did or would again.

Zook raised our profile. The biggest mistake he made was botching the hire after Locksley with the TCU guy disaster. The cupboard wasn't bare either . Beckmann was a complete disaster. Zook wasn't perfect but he had us in better shape then now.

A good team that completely fell apart and lost 6 in a row? A good team that had enormous roster imbalance, discipline issues, and legal problems?
Ron Zook had exactly 1 good season and maybe 4 OK/fair seasons in 10 years as an NCAA head coach. He's so much in demand that he was unemployed for 2 years and is now a ST coach for the Packers.
The revisionist history is strong with this one.
(1) Our QB play is embarrassing
(2) Freshman D holding their own as well as can be expected
(3) Are we going to have someone kicked out of every game?
(4) Lovie’s prevent D strikes again as it did so many times with the Bears. Inexcusable giving up 3 there at the end of the half

Lot of things to like here at the half.
BUT, then again, the typical historical shooting ourselves in the foot syndrome.
Been watching this for 40 years now.
I will say though that I do like the broadcast team of Patrick and Tuberville. Patrick is definitely on his last legs, and Tuberville is very forthright in his analysis. Very refreshing.

I'm here! It is cold! Wisconsin travels much better than Rutgers (obviously) but overall there are probably fewer people here. Usually I can't even connect to the internet on my phone during the game.
Defense has played well. QB play is a disaster though. At least they are playing hard and there aren't too many Wisconsin fans around me.
