I have an offer to bet any of the big DOB fans....

  • I'll take the $10 bet. I remember many PSU fans saying that Russell Wilson wasn't that good, wouldn't fare well against us, we'd beat Wisky etc.

    Try to fathom the hypocrisy of a Government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured .but not prove they're a citizen

    I'll bet you that, if DOB is QB'ing Wisky when we play them, we will win, AND DOB will have less than 200yds passing (remember he'll be going against all our rookie DBs).

    You name how much or what.

    I was trying to be politically correct before, but now that he's officially decided I'll say it -- This kid simply is not that good. I have no doubt in my mind that as soon as he saw MM, RB, and PJ throwing the ball on Monday, his decision was made on the spot.

    And don't tell me how stupid I am or how little I know about football... Just take my bet.

    If DOB was scared away by the competition, what does this say about this kid's confidence level. Confidence is key for a QB. The most successful QBs of all time thrived on competition because they exuded confidence...Montana, Bradshaw, Brady, Marino. Remember Bolden's freshman year and how his lack of confidence destroyed the offense.

    It's interesting how things get flushed out through the recruiting process. If this kid has a confidence problem, then good riddance. Let him be BB's problem. So I somewhat agree with you. He will probably have a rocky start to the season, and could possibly crash and burn. If not, he may be successful by the end of the season.

    Time to move on!

    we lost DOB because he saw first hand the lack of playmakers we have on the outside. To quote BOB, Christ, it's a damn 16 yard comeback. It's one of the most basic routes, and kids couldn't get it right.

    We have zero, in terms of playmakers outside. Now does that mean someone won't step up? No, that's not to say that. From what DOB saw, it's pretty bad.

    That's an interesting angle that I hadn't considered. Its a bit of an exaggeration to say we have "zero" playmakers outside but I can completely understand if DOB was concerned about a lack of playmakers and thought he'd have more weapons to work with at Wisconsin.

    It's not like Wisconsin has Calvin Johnson and Justin Blackmon running around out there.

    The overall package of returning talent at Wiscy is better. Simply put. Better OL, better stable of RB's, better group of TE's, and some decent receivers. I think our WR's compare pretty evenly to Wiscy's. The same can't be said for any other offensive unit.

  • I like us @ home unless Silas is dinged up. I would like to say the 200 yards passing would get you with our lack of an experienced secondary; but Wilson only threw for 186 while putting up 47 points. I think they are going to rely on Ball, so I can't pull the trigger on it even though I would really like to receive a delicious case of Hazed & Infused or Killer Penguin at my front door.

    I bet you the slants and out routes were as crisp as they could be!

    LOL BOB said that to Kuntz- who will never see the field lol He is the one that couldn't get a 16 yd comeback right. Justin Brown did, and constantly heard "good job Brownie"... And Kenney had a great day... Robinson had a nice catch on the sideline... We will beat Wiscy. Mark down my words. BOB is the real deal, and we haven't seen coaching like this since the late 80s, early 90s. I am very excited.

    He may not know a thing about the NFL or NHL but Fish is going to make a mint on this bet.

    Boulder, serious question:

    Is this at all directed towards me?

    I ask this because I had this infamous bet with people, that no one took. But also cus i called out someone(s) for not knowing football in a debate, idk if it was you.

    So, are you calling me out?

    I'm not Boulder but I seriously doubt this is directed towards you. In the OP he seems to be directing it towards those fans lamenting the loss of DO'B who Boulder seems to think is overrated.

    I read an article in the Washington Post this morning where O'Brien is quoted as being impressed by Wisconsin's o-line.
