Ok maybe my Badgers are not that good

Wow to cap off my totally terrible sports Saturday I got home in time to watch from the second quarter on of the Badgers game.

"Ach Mine Eyes The Goggle Do Nothing"

Was that an ugly Big Ten style football game or what.

It was like when two geeks have a slap fight on the play ground lots of swinging and slapping but no one really landing any blows.

The Defense play much better not facing a spread team. That stand they made after the second half kick off was fumbled might have saved the season. They held Iowa to 13 points so you would have to say the Defense did its jog.

The offense was just awful they looked like it was the first day of spring practice.

I understand a very tough and stingy Iowa Defense has a lot to do with that but come I am tired of seeing our vaunted O-Line get pushed around like they were UN peace keepers. Really they should have had their helmets painted that pretty UN Blue. Tyler Donovan was running for his life most of the night. And even PJ Hill cannot run when there are no running lanes or holes. But as bad as the Offense played they did just enough to get them to 1-0 for the 4 straight time this season.

I give up fighting it I now agree the Badgers are not a top 10 team at the moment they might be at the end of the season. As Penn States loss to Michigan showed it is going to be the usual bar fight in the Big Ten this season throw out the non-conference records I hate to say it but OSU looks to be the class of the conference at this point in the season. And long time readers here know how much it pains me to say that.

Who knows maybe this team will grow over the season like last years team maybe they will start hitting on all cylinders and still win the Big Ten.

But they will not win at Happy Valley and the Horse Shoe playing like last night hell they will not beat Michigan at home if they play like they did last night.

But ugly as it was it still counts as a win and 4-0 still beats 3-1 1-0 in the Big Ten.

I have a feeling my October is not going to be as kick ass as I thought it was when September started.
