GT: Bucky at Purdue - 6:00 - FS1

Purdue isn't very good. We haven't played a complete game yet. No idea what to expect. Line has drifted between Badgers by 5 and 6.

Tonight's game should tell us quite a bit. If we really are going to compete for a West title then we should win this fairly easily. If it's close or we lose then expectations should be adjusted accordingly for this season

Buffalo lost to Fordham and got blown out by Liberty. Georgia Southern... is Georgia Southern. And yet UW looked slightly worse than both teams for an entire half, while not even being remotely competitive against a Power 5 team that no Power 5 conference even wants anymore for an entire half. Even so, they looked like a respectable team that could still steal the weak BT West in the second half of each game. Here's hoping they finally play a decent first half. :-?

A blowout either way would not shock me.

I know the Badgers have underwhelmed given expectations and I'm not judging Fickell too harshly this year with changing schemes/getting his guys, but if they get blown out by this Purdue team, I'd be pretty disappointed.

I do understand this defense has been shaky for periods of time, but it would be very disappointing to get blown out by this offense.

I'm glad I read this because I had no idea the game was tonight instead of tomorrow.

Me too, but tbf Wisconsin is a volleyball school.

I don't have the slightest idea what just happened. Great play.

A rare great start. It's Purdue but I'll take it.

Why do the announcers always seemingly root against the Badgers?

That play would have given Chryst an aneurysm

Apparently I'm missing all the good ****. I saw the Brewers put up 10 so I switched to that game to watch Yeli homer and the inning end; then flipped back to the Badgers to find we completed a 30 yard pass TO Mordecai? What is going on?

Purdue would have nearly 100 rushing yards and over 10 yards per carry if not for two holding penalties that frankly didn't affect the play.

How does Joe Barry find the time to coach the Badgers' defense too?

This is not the Bucky defense we knew and loved ! Still only gave up three !

Sometimes I think they sync the commercials !
