re: Sorry Tigers, but I think you guys are going to start 0-1.

Bid Bad Badger, sounds like you're a lactose intolerant stooge living in, of all places - Wisconsin! You're blowing as much shite out of your mouth as you are out of your arse.

I've been watching a lot of your games from last year to try and get a feel for your team. Teams moved the ball at will on you guys last year, so I'm not sure where your confidence in your defense is coming from, especially considering your thin defensive line going up against one of the best offensive lines in college football.

Well it's not last year.
Secondly, we played against 3 qb's drafted this year, as well as playing that team that made it to the championship game with 1 loss. Offense in the SEC was up last year, yet we still managed to shut down ole JFF and Auburn. I don't know if you are aware, but Manziels worst games of his career are the two against LSU.
Our biggest problem last year wasn't our Dline wearing down. It was our secondary blowing coverages constantly. don't see that being a problem this year. Had they not been so lost, the games against Georgia and Ole Miss most likely would have been much different. We left more people wide open for TD's b/c of blown coverages this past year than i've seen in probably the last 12 years combined.



Here's a fun fact:
Wisconsin has won 1 of their last 7 bowl games, including a double digit loss to South Carolina last year, and 3 consecutive Rose Bowl losses before that.
Go back 11 years and we've lost 4 bowl games. A hail mary to Iowa where Saban put no effort into winning that game as he left us, playing 3 qb's in the game. A ugly loss in a mud pit to Penn State that we had no business losing. A beat down from Bama. And a last second loss to a Clemson team that fought their asses off and just wanted it more than us, for whatever reason. 5 of those 7 victories were by 14+points with the two other by 7 againt Oklahoma in the title game and Iowa last year, both games in which we were in control the entire time.
And just to clarify when i said "title" game, i meant the game in which you play to win the national championship, to be #1, not sure if you knew what that was.

When we lose the other team usually jumps around like little girls b/c they feel like they did something they weren't sure if they were capable of doing. No one plays us and wins and says afterward, well thats a game we are supposed to win. Even Bama, if you watched our games, watch what the teams that beat us do after they beat us.
After we beat you, we will say, well we were supposed to beat them, and then go about our season forgetting about the victory against a Wisconsin team that will play no one all year and should make it to the B1G championship game.

We're not TCU.

No kidding. I saw that Rose Bowl.

We will match up with you guys, no doubt. I think your young QBs get rattled late and turn it over, giving us a double digit lead and the win. Just how I see it!

Well then you're really not seeing too well cheesehead.

I think you guys have a misplaced sense of how good your program actually is!! It wasn't too long ago that you guys got beat by Clemson

Pot meet kettle!

I wish I had the time to read this whole thread.

I could rebuttle most everything there. But might as well just let the teams on the field prove someone wrong.

You are out of your fricking mind, cheesehead.

Also LF is the real deal. When I SR running back gives him praise through the roof that means something


And the secondary that was not that great last year is older and experienced now. It will be one of the best Secondaries in the country

quote:

---

Our defense was 9th in the country last year. Our DL is deeper than it was last year. Less experienced, but more talented and deeper.

---

Nope. We're much more experienced on D than we were last year.

Our DE's each have one more year of experience (including backups)

Our DTs are less experienced.

Our LB's are way more experienced

Our secondary is far more experienced.

We're more talented, deeper, AND more experienced. We're going to wreck shite on defense this year.

OK....wasn't planning on bringing piss bombs to Reliant but am now reconsidering. I pity the Wisky fools sitting around us!

Don't know why people are getting so mad at the OP. Tons of you are saying we're going to be 0-1 but then the outsider does it and you get mad.
