Maybe because in volleyball everyone plays everyone, not to hard to figure out. He complained because it gives others a pretty big advantage. He was on the committee and they ignored everything he proposed. I think I would be pissed to. mwm89 and jayschool 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is it is not close to the same situation. Even if we were as good as OSU it is a big disadvantage to have to play them every year if Wisco doesn’t. Much harder to win a division let alone a conference or if we somehow ever get really good again a national title. Also don’t invite someone to be on a committee and just ignore their ideas. We are in a big boy conference we are going to get hard schedules and play elite teams. That’s what everyone wants to see and hopefully we will start competing better. Just make sure everyone else is on the same level. That is a Moos wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with the schedule. It definitely does make it harder, how can you even debate that? Just because we have not been in position to win one lately does not have any relevance. Plus you are wrong a few years ago we were in the hunt for the west. We had to go to OSU and got beat down, swap that for Rutgers or someone else and we might have won the division jayschool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creating an argument about how its unfair "if"...We haven't sniffed "if" in forever. Sure, when/if we get to the point your argument matters I'll scream from the rooftops with you. Until then it sounds like whining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandalay Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 So wait till it matters and is to late to say something? What if we are in contention this year? I will never agree to just accept getting hosed and keeping your mouth shut. I would stand up for my players/program every time. I guess we disagree so I will bow out. mwm89 and jayschool 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott would never be one to bring up the schedule, but we all remember when he said at that first B1G Media Day, “if you’re gonna get us you better get us now.” Bottom line, until we get some NFL talent in that Blackshirt front 7, it’s all conversation... We technically had NFL talent in our front 7 last year and it didn't matter. Bottom line is...with Frost's system, we're going to win with offense. We have the pieces in place to improve dramatically there. There other aspect is attention to detail in other phases. Simply being competent in special teams, which is as much coaching and focus as anything, can pay huge dividends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply being competent in special teams, which is as much coaching and focus as anything, can pay huge dividends I appreciate your optimism, but we haven’t had a “Blackshirt” defense since Suh graduated, our best offensive player is @ TCU, & Martinez hasn’t proven to be anything but inconsistent.

I’m not optimistic But if we’re coached well, we have more than enough talent to go 4-4 or 5-3. If we win 3 or less, there’s some very big concerns.
