Huh.

He still had a hitch in his step from his injury of a few years ago at the end of this year. He had some nice-looking runs against 3rd strings in garbage time but he did not look anything close to his former self.

Good for him.

Saw a story about WR coach Gilmore leaving for MSU but now it's been taken off JS website and Potrykus hasn't tweeted anything so maybe that was premature.

Sounds like MSU is going to pay him big bucks to...be the TE coach.

Kinda jives with the idea that they're not **** around on the recruiting aspect of things at MSU...can Tucker coach? That remains to be seen.

Looks like Gilmore is now easily the highest paid TE coach in the nation and is basically only behind a handful of O-coordinators and D-coordinators in assistant coach salary.

Will be interesting to see who the Badgers pick up next.

Couple days old but didn't see anyone post it. Despite what happened in GB, I think this is a really good hire

Four-star ATH Zakee Wheatley trims list to eight

Badgers on the list. We already have what's currently a top 10 class of 2021 even before potentially adding this kid.

Usual caveat that "top 10 class" will turn into "top 30 class" once all of the big boys commit to the SEC and other helmet schools.

This is probably the best in-state class since Oglesby/Clay/Toon in the mid-2000s, so that will certainly help rankings. But yeah, we won't stay top 10 very long. Big names commit late.

Definitely has potential to be another strong class for us, though. 2019 and 2020 were both great classes for us. When we're top 30, that's a lot of talent for us.

Happy Melvin Gordon day (4/08).

Sounds like traumatic life events with his son were part of the massive depression but who knows how much football played into this. Would be noble of him to donate his brain to science after his death. I would be interested to see what regions were affected and how it looked.

Glad he’s in a better place now.

I'll say this. Over the last three weeks I've had the exact same problem he's had with sleeping. I almost dread trying to go to sleep because I know even if the 300 mg of Trazodone kick in around 12:30 at night, I'll be right back awake at 2:00 am. I keep thinking that my body has to catch up with my lack of sleep and it never happens. I'm never so tired that I just conk out. I'm just perpetually awake 22-23 hours every day. Depression is definitely a factor and I'm on meds for it. I've got an over-active mind and it always feels like I'm thinking about 30 things at once when I close my eyes. That's maybe the worst of it all. I wish I could just calm the voices in my head.

I just don't know why it's gotten so bad lately. I feel relaxed all day. I'm uber-productive with work and everyone loves what I crank out. I don't have a care or worry in the world, even as everything else is going to ****. Nothing makes any sense.

FPI has the Badgers as a dark horse title contender, with the 4th best odds to make the playoff.

Even if 189 is correct, he could be 30 lbs heavier by the time he's a badger.

to be ahead of Georgia and LSU is crazy, imo. that discussion mentioned Coan like he was a big difference maker.

I don't know what it is with FPI...I'm always banging the drum that UW is underrated most years given models like FPI but that's obviously a bit high.
