2023 Badger Football Thread

Think for a moment. Evers has already signed with the Badgers. He's going to be a Badger. Yet, the Badgers followed up on Armstrong. He's visiting Madison.

That means that either Evers knows their intent, and is good with it, or the coaches are complete blithering idiots, by offering Evers, then pulling the rug out from under him by bringing in Armstrong for a visit.

I'd find it very hard to believe the coaches are that dumb. I think not seeing it as a possibility is way too narrow minded.

Now, if the Armstrong visit was "before" the Evers signing, I'd agree with you guys. But, it's not, and the timing changes the whole scenario.

Do I think Armstrong becomes a Badger? No. I don't think he wants to compete with Evers to be honest. Just the risk of not being able to beat him out of the job would be enough to scare him off. He'll go where he's "guaranteed" that starting spot.

But, believe what you want. I'm not going to argue over it.
Armstrong visited Stillwater last week and was scheduled to visit Madison this weekend (17&18th) not sure if that happened As to signing, nobody has signed an LIO to this point , early signing day is Wednesday the 21st. I know semantics but kids flip each year at singing day. I give the staff credit for due diligence and a visit does not guarantee an offer either.
 
So closes the Barry A/PC era at UW, A highly successful run that lasted a decade longer than anyone would have imagined. Turning the page to the LF and Chris Mac era of Badger FB.
Probably safe to add Bielema to that “era”, 8 total years in Madison and 3 Rose Bowls but to be fair the 2012 team backed in. While he had his faults and they were many, he and Partridge could recruit and opened some doors in Florida.
 
It's happy Brats, Cheese, and Beer in Wisconsin
Not only was I the only guy at the bar last night cheering for the Pokes, I was also the only guy cheering for the Badgers.

I looked a bit strange in my PANTONE | 021 Spot CMYK | 0, 75, 100, 0RGB | 250, 100, 0 HEX | Fe 5c 00 Orange and black while also donning the Cardinal and White.

So many of my friends were texting me, though the common theme was they couldn't believe WI and OK State hadn't played each other before. Though I'd imagine since they know me there is a much closer connection between the two in their heads than in most peoples.

But woof, I could not stay for the whole thing. First because I had a trial today to prepare for, the second because the bar closed at 11pm.
