In a perfect world, we realize what Crouch can/can't do preseason and give the early season reps to George and Thomas from day one. They'd be much better by now if so...

The 6 straight loss season was 2011. AFTER the Rose Bowl season of 2007, and the Texas (LOL) Bowl of 2010. Neither of which provided any significant recruiting benefit.
Again, that's revisionist. He didn't build a solid program, he managed to get to the RB in 2007, then went 5-7, 3-9, 7-6 (Texas LOL Bowl), and 6-6 (Kraft Fight Hunger LOL Bowl). The program was so moribund when RT was fired that "reviving" it was a pretty low bar, but Zook did such a good job clearing it that his overall winning percentage was only 2 percentage points higher than Turner's, and his conference winning percentage was only .89% higher.
But this is all academic, we have Lovie now, the frosh are playing better every week, and hopefully we have an AD and an HC that won't accept mediocrity any longer.
No excuse for this team not to have a better option than these 3. The staff had 18 months to find someone, anyone who could learn a playbook and throw a reasonably accurate pass. We would win 5 games this year with a QB that was a 4 out of 10 good. We've got one who should be 3rd string; one who is way under-prepared, but might be good in 3 years; and a TE.

Offensive line just being dominated by more mature Wiskey defensive line.
Great now Dudek and Samlling both out.

Wow! Yes you are very correct. Went back and checked it out, guess I remember the bad plays more. Had great numbers, just can't remember many great games. Old age and years a disappointment can harden a man. My apologies.

Apparently Wisconsin's o-line never holds
When the beloved play Wisky, we get about 5%/95% call ratio. It's been that way for 25 years both Fball and Bball.

There have been 2-3 blatant holds not called

So is it turning out that Gabe Megginson (spelling?) is a washout? Or is he hurt?

I'd love to be there, but a game is a full 2-3 day commitment for me. I chose the IU game in a couple of weeks instead, because what's better than getting beat by a bad team in November???

Kicking a long field goal against the wind down 14 made no sense Lovie.
