I think the biggest issue is the recurring issue: Finding a QB worth a shit and enough athletic d-backs.

They've had a bunch of game manager types that have done well in the modern era (Alvarez and after). They minimize mistakes, play within the system, and win between 9 and 11 games every year with an occasional 12 win season.

They just haven't had the arm talent to beat Ohio State. Coan, Sorgi, Bollinger, Bevell, Sorgi, Tolzein, and Stocco all fit that description. Several of them were at least good enough to stick around and hold a clipboard in the NFL. They weren't awful, but they weren't there to win games themselves. They were there to hand the ball off and learn how to throw a few play-action passes to wide-open receivers every game.

What they need is a guy who has the skills to be an NFL first-round pick, but who is content to hand the ball off in almost all the games except for when they play Ohio State or in a bowl game. Those guys don't typically come to Wisconsin because they want to showcase their skills for the NFL. Obviously, they've had one guy in 30 years that fits that description - Russell Wilson. And they mainly got him because his coach at NC State was an idiot (when you have Mike Glennon, you have to play him, right?) and he was thought to be too short to play in the NFL.

We'll see how Chryst handles Mertz going forward. They cannot waste the next two years of the program with him as the starter. He just makes too many mistakes. Maybe they'll be a grad transfer available next year that can get them by for a year as a game manager type (you know, a guy like Jack Coan).

To finish this thought, the issue is finding a QB that is good enough and enough fast DBs that can win against Ohio State.

Since 2004, the Badgers are 1-11 against Ohio State.

Since 2010, the Badgers have had a legitimate chance to make the BCS playoffs in 5 different seasons: 2010, 2011, 2016, 2017, 2019. In those 5 seasons, their regular-season record and the Big 10 Title game is 54-10.

The losses were the following:

1. 2011 to MSU on a Kirk Cousins Hail Mary

2. 2016 at Michigan 14-7

3. 2016 vs. Penn State in Big 10 Title Game 38-31 (passing defense killed them)

4. 2010 at MSU 24-14

5. 2019 at Illinois 24-23 (J. Taylor fumbles)

and 5 losses to Ohio State

The lack of an NFL-level QB and enough DBs to cover NFL-level WRs costs them, but what we are really saying (most of the time) is they can't beat Ohio State.

We may have now reached Defcon 5 clusterfu** with the Jags:

The hilarious thing about this isn't his full kancho on the whore, it's that not a single player respects that turd other than Tim Tebow. 

That would be the reason he should be fired.  Being a completely ineffective fuck up would be pretty solid reasoning.  Instead Khan goes with the "we don't approve, he's really really sorry" bit. 

That's why your team sucks Shad.

After this, it's going to be tough for a lot of moms to send their 18- and 19-year-old boys to Meyer, no matter which college team he is coaching. It seems like the Meyer hire was to help Lawrence and the other young guys transition to becoming pros; instead, Meyer has become "one of the boys." What a joke.

I doubt it.  American rationalizing should be an Olympic sport.

I don't think he just became one of the boys. I think he's never gotten beyond being one of the boys. I don't think the blonde in the bar last week was the first co-ed he's "danced" with while he was presenting himself as a good Christian male roll model.

He’s a hero for it in the panhandle, even if she wasn’t quite 18.
