Badgers football fans unload after Wisconsin leaves Michigan with loss ... and 3 timeouts
Where they came from
Thank goodness for the remaining Chryst recruits. If we had more like Anthony, Barten, Brown, Brooks, Peterson, Brunner, Mahlman, Zachman, and Holloman- we would be a better team.

Wake up already
Does Fickell have an analytics guy on staff that tells him when to call a timeout? Maybe that guy fell asleep or got a case of diarrhea so that’s why Fickell didn’t call a timeout?

Show something
I am pretty indifferent to wins/losses at this point, but I apparently care more than Fick

Ugly ending
Luke literally quit on his team at the end.

I’ve never seen anything like that before
Deserve better
The coach threw in towel with 3 minutes on the clock and then swallowed his timeouts. The players deserved better from the coaches.

How does that happen?
I know nobody is watching in the state with the brewer game on but that end of game clock management was unbelievably bad and signals to anyone who thought they had any right, that they gave up.

This doesn't look good
Speaks volumes that the Brewers almost outscored the Badgers

Will you be serious
They had two weeks to prepare to compete against a (very) down-year Michigan team. And it wasn't really ever competitive.

It's year 3 and we're all squinting to convince ourselves there's been modest improvements at positions. This isn't a serious FB program
Meh
I have reached the last stage of the Badger Cycle of Football Grief (call it the Fickell-MacIntosh model); from Confusion, to Denial, to Anger, to Sadness, and now . . . Apathy

Take your negativity elsewhere
Honestly I think this is a building moment. Beat the spread with your 3 string QB and 4th string Center. Beat Iowa (which is doable) and you’re 3-3. Bowl game still possible.

Keep things in perspective
Let’s face facts: the Badgers went into a hostile environment against a team with more five-star talent on their roster than Wisconsin’s has had in school history, and hung tough with the Wolverines. This was the style and identity the Badgers need to be.

“There can’t be an OC worse than Phil Longo.” … Jeff Grimes - “Hold my beer.” …..: defense did well considering how much they were on the field.

Perspective matters
Not as bad as I feared without actually being good.

Which is the Luke Fickell experience in a nutshell.
How 'bout this
The Badgers did the unthinkable. They beat the spread!

Taking some advice
It's not fun and I no longer plan my Saturdays around being to watch the Badgers. Someone wise once told me if it it doesn't bring you happiness to stop doing it.
