Posted December 31, 20177 yr I don't care about their schedule. I dont care about their style. They are just better. In every aspect but recruiting......and that just makes it worse.
December 31, 20177 yr They’re recruiting is amazing!!! A ton of 3 star guys who flat out just ball and get so much better. The QB, Hornibrook, a Philadelphia area kid, was a borderline kid but my goodness do they look smart.
December 31, 20177 yr Having Alvarez pretty much as a GM has worked wonders for them. It seems like whoever the coach is whether it be Anderson, Beliema or Chryst they all have success. The two guys leaving for lesser jobs leads me to believe Alvarez takes some control for them. Either way Barry has shown that his way works and it really doesn't matter whose coaching. They've done more during the last 5-10 years in the post season than we've done in over 25. Not saying we need a gm but as a coach, Alvarez>Kelly.
December 31, 20177 yr I don't care about their schedule. I dont care about their style. They are just better. In every aspect but recruiting......and that just makes it worse. They know who they are. I'm a fan of elko because in on season you can see his philosophy take shape and he's recruiting guys that fit his system. Our offense however is a generic mess. They dont recruit guys to fit the system. They try to get a little bit of everything and thus never having a smooth attack on offense. The great coach K would often say "it's our systems vs theirs"
December 31, 20177 yr Wisconsin does the best job of any team in the country of finding a type of player, and developing those players. Almost all of the offense comes back for them next year. The D just keeps reloading. Living and coaching in Wisconsin, our highschool football is very underrated. There's a reason Wisconsin has the linemen and lbs they do.
December 31, 20177 yr Can ND get their receivers coach? I only saw the 2nd quarter yesterday, but their receivers were fighting for and catching everything. Fun to watch!
December 31, 20177 yr Both their young receivers are true frosh as well. That Davis is a beast. I'd like to take their strength program as well. Really maximizes their ability.

Contrast having Alvarez as AD to ND having Swarbrick and you wonder why Wisconson's football program is outperforming ours, when in reality it never should. Why ND would entrust a multi-million dollar enterprise in the hands of a guy who probably never played a sport in his life confounds me.
December 31, 20177 yr All I’ve seen of Wisconsin is a 59-0 loss in a big ten championship game and then another big ten championship game where they gave a valiant effort, but were clearly overmatched. They may be better than us, but they’re irrelevant and largely overlooked everywhere except for their immediate region.
December 31, 20177 yr Wisconsin is 2-6 vs non-Big 10 ranked teams since 2010. ND is 10-14 in the same span. Color me unimpressed. But they do have 20 wins vs FCS and low-level FBS teams since then, so good for them. Getting 3 free wins every year with an abysmal non-conference schedule will tend to make a lot of teams look good. Edited December 31, 20177 yr by corysold
December 31, 20177 yr They have a formula that has worked for them and where they are located. Big tough o-lineman that can pound the ball. Mix in easy scheduling every year and the fact that they only play Ohio St or Michigan every couple of years, call me half impressed. 10 wins should be a norm.
December 31, 20177 yr Wisconsin was an undefeated Power 5 team that was on the outside of the CFP heading into championship weekend. Everyone knew that they were smoke and mirrors because their schedule was absolute trash. Congrats on playing two Top 25 teams (OSU and Miami), while ND will play seven (Georgia, Michigan State, USC, NC State, Miami, Stanford, LSU).
December 31, 20177 yr Author Wisconsin was an undefeated Power 5 team that was on the outside of the CFP heading into championship weekend. Everyone knew that they were smoke and mirrors because their schedule was absolute trash. Congrats on playing two Top 25 teams (OSU and Miami), while ND will play seven (Georgia, Michigan State, USC, NC State, Miami, Stanford, LSU). And how did that work out for ND? Limping to a 9-3 record. I'll take 13-1 please. And Jelly has just said they are reevaluating their scheduling going forward. Good idea.
December 31, 20177 yr Hand jack will take any opportunity he can to slam ND. Any rational fan knows the U obliterating ND wasn't a true rep of how good they were, just like how ND dismantled USC.
December 31, 20177 yr Author Hand jack will take any opportunity he can to slam ND. Any rational fan knows the U obliterating ND wasn't a true rep of how good they were, just like how ND dismantled USC. Oh, i agree. The last 20 years have been a true rep of how good they are.
December 31, 20177 yr Oh, i agree. The last 20 years have been a true rep of how good they are. Why do you waste so much time coming here to stir up crap? Don't you have better things to do?
December 31, 20177 yr Why do you waste so much time coming here to stir up crap? Don't you have better things to do? Agree if you hate the team so much and how things are run why would you continue to post?
January 1, 20187 yr At least wisconsin didn’t show up against miami in the same stadium we played them and look like they were a bunch of scared “pussies”. They went toe to toe and punched them in the mouth.
January 2, 20187 yr Wisconsin has not done well against quality competition. I strongly disagree with the OP. I would favor ND over Wisconsin most years (including this one).
I don't care about their schedule. I dont care about their style.
They are just better. In every aspect but recruiting......and that just makes it worse.
