GT: Western Michigan at Wisconsin - 8/30/24 - 8:00 - FS1

Post #1 » by **MickeyDavis** » Thu Aug 29, 2024 4:43 pm

WM was 4-8 last year. This year they open at Wisconsin, at Ohio State.

No idea what to expect from the Badgers other than a convincing win would be a letdown.

Go Bucky.

I want to see some explosive offense.

I either want the motivational acronyms gone completely or I want them to become ridiculously elaborate.

8pm is quite a dumb start time.

FS1 has no other game before or after so I don't get it.

Classes don't start until next Wednesday, I imagine the student sections will have plenty of empty seats.

I'm excited and heading down to Camp Randall later this afternoon for this match-up. It's been quite some time since I've been in the stands.

Badgers are favored by 23.5 points last I checked. The alcohol will be flowing, and that's an interesting aspect.

After watching some youtube, WMU has a couple of really good interior lineman - especially at center - and some established vets throughout. A pretty strong returning north/south rb that accumulated 1000yds last season also is present. The Mac conference team lacks depth but has some good players.

This cat is fired up to be jumping around tonight.

I feel sorry for Bucky, I hope he doesn't blow out triceps this evening.

Go Badgers!!!

I'm sure some people have gone home for the weekend or whatever, yeah...but the freshmen are all there already (I saw the tweet about the class picture with all of them on the field).

For upperclassmen, from experience, this is about the halfway point of the 2-3 week bender one goes on when you move into your apartment in mid-August until classes start (and then you still continue it for a few days).

So maybe it won't be so bad, assuming too many didn't go home for LDW.

Going for it on 4th and 1 inside your own 45 was a good call.

O-line not getting much push here.

O-line is not looking good.

**** hell. I hate the college hashes.

Offense does seem to be flowing much better though.

I'm happy to be watching football again but these commercials are woof. November can't come soon enough.

I like how its clearly targeting and there wasnt even a flag.

Putting your head down and smashing your helmet into the qbs face mask is a decision nowadays

TroyD92 · Post #18 » by **TroyD92** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 1:49 am

Nobody can catch the ball.

jute2003 · Post #19 » by **jute2003** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 2:04 am

Defense is not so good right now

TroyD92 · Post #20 » by **TroyD92** » Sat Aug 31, 2024 2:05 am

Defensive line is terrible
