** 2023 Opponent Preview : Wisconsin (Game 11) **

[Danny Bateman]

I can see us dominating this game statistically, and losing, because, well, turnovers.

We’re gonna boatrace them. Purdy is going to surprise some folks.

Fickell is going have a Frost-like off-season because the honeymoon will be over.

Calling it now.

Also, lmao Puffs off to a great start  :laughpound

I'm actually interested in knowing what was funny about this comment.

Do people see Husker players quitting...not playing hard?  I don't.  Just because mistakes are made, doesn't mean they aren't playing hard and wanting to win.

I stopped worrying about the laughing emojis a long time ago. Some people on this board can’t handle opinions that contradict theirs and the only way they can be passive aggressive about it is through the laughing emoji. I am sure I will get at least 2 laughing emojis for this post. 

As for what you wrote, I agree with your comment. It is not a question of our players not playing hard. It is a question of talent. We just do not have enough talent on offense. Our QBs are not good, our OL is doing slightly better than last year but still needs much improvement, our WRs and TEs are not talented. The team is playing hard and I do not see any quit in them but if you do not have a talented QB to run your offense, there is not much you can do. Emmett Johnson has been one of the bright spots this season. I hope he plays well against Wisconsin.

Oh….I couldn’t care less about the laughing emoji. 
 

Just curious as to what that person thinks they are seeing.

I consider it to be shorthand for "Your post is so stupid that it's not even worth my time trying to argue with it."

So, you think the team has quit and doesn’t want to win.

He wasn't the one that gave the laugh.  Just explaining how it could be used.

Wisconsin going to a heated turf field so that it can host a 1st round CFP game.

If they do eventually host one game, it more than pays for that field.  Makes sense to me.

 Why do they need a heated field to host a playoff game?

What are they joining the SEC?

...CFP committee announced that first-round games could be moved from host campuses for "logistical purposes" in the future. Stadium upgrades like the ones at Wisconsin and Penn State could become more commonplace as universities try to hedge against bad weather costing them a lucrative opportunity to host a postseason game.

Oh...that's right.  Southern college kids from the south just can't handle playing up north on the fields we have.  Oh.....until they get into the NFL and have to do it all the time.
