I'll end up punching through a wall if that happens. Hate the vadgers.

No, different divisions. Almost everyone has that as the title game matchup.

I was going to say I would make that my title game but wasn't sure if they were in the same divison

I've been impressed with Russell Wilson so far

Wilson's looked fine so far but he hasn't had to do much. UNLV's defense is shit.

Wilson looks pretty good. Obviously some early season timing issues, but I think if they get that worked out, Wisconsin could be the most balanced team in the nation

If Wilson can just make the simple throws Tolzien made and add in his running ability....with how good their running attack is....they may be one half of the NCG

I hope Alvarez gets caught screwing another cheerleader and his kid gets put in jail for microwaving more parrots.

Not sure how much Wilson will really have to run? I think the biggest thing is plays where Tolzien got 0 yards, you may see Wilson get 5 with his ability to scramble.

I just think they're all douchebag freaks. Bielema is a turd too. I have zero respect for their fans or their program. Honestly, I have nothing to be afraid of ... not like Minnesota has beaten them since 2003 or is expected to give them a game. I just don't respect them at all. Much the same as a hardcore Ohio State fan might feel about Michigan, or a Florida fan about Georgia/Tennessee.

And yes, some of this is just posturing :)

Wisky looks good as expected. Wilson looks really good, and they could very well be in the NCG this year. That running attack is nasty.

Listening to this game on Sirius and a guy doing the game said this could be the potent rushing attack since the '95 Nebraska team

I'm gonna wait till Wisky plays a respectable team before I put them in the NCG.

UNLV is terrible, but Wisconsin looks how a championship contender should look.

Also, Montee Ball has lost 28lbs, in case you haven't heard.

Uh oh, UNLV just got a field goal. Mississippi State looks good and HASN'T allowed a point this year; I can see them as one half of the NCG.

Vick Ballard makes Montee Ball look average.

Purdue just took a 27-24 lead on Middle Tennessee State with a minute left trying to avoid the upset. Good win for Northwestern today over BC too.

Interested to see how Minny does @ USC.

Does USC not have a kicker? 2 failed 2 point conversions, but they lead Minnesota 12-0.
