Open Jim: Should Wisconsin basketball be playing an easier nonconference schedule?

hey Jim, is it still too early to get a pulse on how differently UW hockey recruiting is being done under the new coaching regime ?

When that Florida WR compared Graham Mertz to Joe Burrow, every Badgers fan I know did a spit take. At this point, Mertz is more likely to play in the XFL than the NFL.

But if Mertz does unlock his full potential at UF, what will that say about Paul Chryst and UW?

Last season the NCAA selection committee showed that they no longer care if teams schedule easy, now Gard has decided to schedule even harder. What's your opinion on his philosophy?

Seems like the talk for a big man for the badger basketball team is now 50/50 if we need one with the freshman coming into the program. If that is the case I say lets go after another athletic wing/shooter..someone that can make something happen. Can never have enough!!

The optimism the new football coach exudes is unstoppable even for me, an eternal pessimist. I have seen it in questions to you. How are you going to keep us in line? When do playoff tickets go on sale?

If Miami sweeps Boston, do the Bucks pull a George Costanza and let Coach Bud show up for training camp as if he was never fired ?

How do you think the Packers will take advantage of Jordan Love's skill set? I keep hearing how they'll protect him in some ways but I don't see that happening. I think after this much time the chains are off.
