Running in place
At least we aren’t Notre Dame , WI fans it’s time to get rid of a complacent coach and program that is just ok with 10-3 and a good bowl game! When usc and ucla join the 10 we will become northwestern

Not another re-run
This team is probably not a Top 25 team and got stuck with that label before the season started. Two more losses in Big 10 play, an overall okay season. Rinse and repeat.

Comes with the territory
Wisconsin lost to a better coached team who had his players ready to play. One loss should not have fans calling for Paul Chryst being fired. He recently received an extension. I understand the shock and disappointment but that’s college football.

Line looks lackluster
This line is the most talented (by recruiting rankings) of any in school history and it is throughly mediocre. It can't block unless it holds. Bostad better fix it fast or this will be another lost season.

Hold up, wait a minute
O line probably called for holding before you got tweet out

More than meets the eye
Well, that was embarrassing! Missed the two TD drives; what I did see in 2d half was sad; ball handling, poor tackling. Dike(?) eyes need to be on his QB in the huddle, not the replay board. Indicators of bigger issues. Get it corrected now, or it will be a long season.

Is Wisconsin a volleyball school now?

On the outside looking in
Meh. This program is not going to be relevant in the big picture of college football ever again. They will always be in the mix for a December bowl game somewhere but who cares.

Stop us if you've heard this one...

Can't escape sloppy play
Missed field goals came back to haunt us. And that late fumble. Ugh.

Grass is always greener
It’s gonna be great watching Nakia Watson score three TDs in the Rose Bowl for Wazzu.

Finding a silver lining
Proud of Mertz… he has really shown improvement. But the vaunted O-line was garbage and just way too many errors everywhere else. This one is on PC and the line.

In the eye of the beholder
Penalties, mistakes and an all-around disappointing performance. Not much positive from this one.

The window's closing fast
Typical Badger football team under coached and they lose a game against a team that they clearly should have beaten. Next two games they will be 2-2 but probably will win the Big Ten west because nobody should scare us based on today’s results

It was fun while it lasted
So long, optimism about the offense being improved

Don't hold your breath
Maybe this loss is what it finally takes to get Chryst fired. The coaching is horrendous

Is the glass half empty?
Only going to get worse Jim. 6-6 at best this season. Back let’s just be Bowl eligible. Too many players losses and uninspired play. Sometimes your best is just not going to be good enough.

Focus on fundamentals
Special teams poor, too many penalties, and turnovers.
— Bob Lewis (@AppletonTech) September 10, 2022
First things first
New offensive coordinator, same predictable, offense with no creativity. The head coach is the problem, but the Alumni AD will never make a change. Only one game matters the rest of the year. Get back the axe.

A long time coming
Anyone who is surprised has not been paying attention the last few years. This is a program going in the wrong direction on the field.

Recipe for failure
Wisconsin is not good enough to win when committing that many penalties, turnovers, and missed FG.
— Troy (@tkatlanta01) September 10, 2022
Offense wasn't alone
Let’s not let the defense off the hook. WSU got the ball with 5:14 left in the game and never had to give it back.
