Really? Mellusi twice on the 1? Chryst is an absolute moron and continues to make me think lower and lower of him week after week.

I don't care about Allen fumbling the ball. You play him there.

Chryst has about as much passion as a corpse.  Watch this team get bowl eligible and they keep this fool for another year.

There's a graphic in the article that shows recruiting spending from 2005 to 2020 and we're consistently in the bottom 5 or at the bottom, period. This school only cares about the money the team brings in because they know that Wisconsin football fanbases are loyal and will attend games every week no matter how putrid we are. 

Becky Blank is leaving for Northwestern after this year. I'm really hoping, with a new chancellor and athletic director, we take a revamped look at the program and try to compete more. Obviously, that's probably a pipe dream but leave me be.

The program funds literally everything yet gets limited resources compared to programs nationally. They don't spend on recruiting, their standards for athletes are prohibitive and they don't pay assistants (yet they pay a doofus $5 Million to stand on the sidelines looking like a confused child).

Kicked Berger, Roberts and Crawford off the team. Easterling, Chandler, Lyles and Burton have now transferred out in the last 10 days. Am I missing anyone?

Are changes coming and that's why they're all leaving?

The only ones that had a chance to play much are Berger and Burton. The rest probably wanted some PT (or in Chandler's case a team that throws the ball).

We still don't know what happened with Berger, will be very interested to see if we ever do.

With Burton, he was playing behind Engram and Smith and now we got a transfer CB, his odds of playing next year were diminishing.

If they were unhappy and changes were coming, why would they leave? More likely they were unhappy and no changes are coming.

Because maybe it's Leonhard that's leaving and not PC lol. I'm not talking in solely positives here. 

And we're not done yet either. Only a matter of time until more non-local kids leave for PT.
