Sooner or later in this industry, you just have to sit down, unfold your napkin, grab your fork and knife, ask for just a bit more grated cheese, and eat shit. Madison is a fun town, Wisconsin is a fine school, but the Badgers, God bless em, are about to get wrecked this season. Hooligans Storm Over Europe Full Game' title='Hooligans Storm Over Europe Full Game' />If youre looking for blame or reason, just take a gander at their schedule, chalk it up to karma, and come back in 2. Gta Vice City Ultimate Pc Game. For every shortcoming I pointed out last year, Wisconsin managed to make me look a fool twice over, rolling to its third straight season of double digits in the win column and a Cotton Bowl victory. My diagnosis that the schedule was too tough for the Badgers to overcome was incorrect, not in its assumption of Wisconsins talent level, but that of the teams it would face. The Badgers faced six regular season opponents that were considered by some writers to be top 1. They went 3 3 against these teams, losing to Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State all teams that finished with at least 1. LSU, Michigan State, and Nebraska the Spartans were horrendously overrated and finished 3 9, while LSU and Nebraska each finished with four losses. I should have both seen through Mike Dantonios facade and assumed the Tigers would be a disappointment I did not. I will not let Paul Chryst make a fool of me again. The Badgers enter the 2.

Theyll head into this season with a weaker non conference schedule and an unfair amount of returning talent, so their chances of returning to the Big Ten title are really going to be affected most by how much ground Iowa and Nebraska can make upthe Badgers have the benefit of skipping a cross division game with Ohio State this season, a benefit of playing in the weaker West division. The biggest alteration Wisconsin underwent this offseason was committing to one quarterback, both because its his time and because, well, hes all theyve really got right now. With Bart Houston fighting for a spot on the Pittsburgh Steelers roster, Wisconsin will hand the reins over to Alex Hornibrook, who was named the starter in March. Virtual City 2 Pc Game on this page. Hornibrook split time with Houston last yearHouston logged 1. Hornibrooks 1. 81though the elder quarterback received more starting nods, including in the teams win over Western Michigan in the Cotton Bowl. Hornibrook is a redshirt sophomore with a year of watching from the sidelines and a half season of running an 1. Hes a typical pro style quarterback, a southpaw with the arm to make the mid level, 1. He doesnt have a ton of zip, but he still manages to thread the needle occasionally thanks to decent placement. Hornibrook needs to cut back on his turnovershe threw seven picks to nine touchdowns last yearbut presumably a years worth of experience and film study will help him shore up some of the more errant choices he made last season. Wisconsins offense thrives on grinding down opposing defenses with its big boys in the trenches and whoever the hell they plug in to rush for 1,0. Hornibrook can give the passing game a little pushand hes got the weapons to do itthen this offense might actually rejoin the nations top 5. Motogp 2008 Rapidshare more. One other thing to take note of regarding the quarterback situation Its Hornibrook or bust. Behind him are two guys with no college experience, freshman Jack Coan and redshirt freshman Kare Lyles, which means that should anything happen to their signal caller of choice, the offense, and especially the passing attack, will be in crisis mode unless Coan or Lyles both possess preternatural abilities to read and react to Big Ten defenses. While fans all scramble to talk about the man throwing the ball, though, the more important position group the most important one as it relates to Wisconsins offensive game plan is still working through some of the kinks that come with turnover. The offensive lineand by no coincidence, the Wisconsin running gamehas spent the past two years looking very much out of place. This is a line that historically is renowned for being big motherfuckers, with guts popping out of their jerseys, capable of pushing any sad sap that lines up opposite them around the field like a dummy. Due to injury and poor line specific recruiting efforts in the past, the two most recent versions of the Wisconsin line have been rarely consistent, both in personnel and performance. This years group seems prepped to get back to the good ole days. Redshirt junior Michael Deiter is the veteran statesman of the group, having logged 2. Redshirt freshman Tyler Biadasz apparently balled the fuck out this spring, so much so that he took the starting center spot. Among the other changes along the line, former tight end David Edwards will take over Ryan Ramczyks post at left tackle, while junior Jacob Maxwell assumes the right tackle spot. This group will block for running back Bradrick Shaw, as the group is without Corey Clement and Dare Ogunbowale this season. As mentioned earlier, the rushing attack has kind of been subpar the past two years. Admittedly, following the Melvin Gordon Show is a tall task, and asking a guy to do better than Clements eight 1. Shaw might actually do it. Senior tight end Troy Fumagalli is back a year after leading the offense with 4. Hell again pair well with speedster Jazz Peavy, who led the team in receiving yards last season with 6. The fiery redshirt sophomore is all over the place for the offense, and if you tune into any given Wisconsin game, youre likely to notice a skinny fucker blazing past the other teams secondarythats Peavy. While he hasnt proved to be an every down guy yet, George Rushing appeared in all 1. Wisconsin receiver seems hopeful regarding his chances to return. The famed Wisconsin defense seems to be ready for yet another year of dominant play, though it will be tested with an injection of inexperience both on the field and in the press box. Defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard is just three years removed from playing in the NFL and logged his sole season of coaching experience last year as the Badgerss defensive backs coach now, with Justin Wilcox doomed to black pit that is Cal, Leonhard will head up what is consistently one of the most impressive defenses in the nation. The defense held opponents to 1. Buckeyes and Nittany Lions. This season, Wisconsin has the pieces to continue this trend, especially up front, where it returns all four starting defensive linemen from 2. Chikwe Obasih and Conor Sheehy will occupy the end spots while Olive Sagapolu, a 6 foot 2, 3. The biggest cause for concern comes at the next level, where Wisconsin will have to replace outside linebackers Vince Biegel and T. J. Watta combined 1. Biegel will be replaced by redshirt senior Garrett Dooley, who already had to fill in for Biegel when he went down with injury last year. At the two inside slots, losing linebacker Jack Cichy to a torn ACL hurts, given his proven capabilities 6. Badgers get back a load of experienced inside backers. T. J. Edwards, who has 2.

In the defensive backfield, cornerback Nick Nelson, a Hawaii transfer, is expected to step in for Sojourn Shelton, who is now fighting for a roster spot with the Arizona Cardinals.
