I don’t think there is a standard a team has to meet for their fans to observe clear issues with other program.
Yup, you don’t have to have an IQ of 160 to recognize that someone else is dumbass.

Way too early to say at this point. Rhule has gotten A TON of help from our NIL initiative. I'm certainly expecting him to take advantage of it.Their guy took a program that was pre-season top 25 his first year, and had been to a bowl game in 22 consecutive years is driving it into the ground. Our guy is taking Nebraska to its first bowl game in 9 years. Give me a guy turning around a program over the guy ruining one.
Not sure but he is now putting pressure on Wisconsin by making the situation public.
It’s possible the person that does the entering of names into the portal is on vacation. Or maybe they are dragging their feet to punish him. If that’s the case what a terrible thing for the school to do.
Typically where there is smoke there is fire and these types of comments from former players and those outgoing is a lot of smoke.
if we played the #1 overall team and only lost by 3 you’d still be celebrating the moral victory.Their guy took a program that was pre-season top 25 his first year, and had been to a bowl game in 22 consecutive years is driving it into the ground.

Doesn't the portal close tomorrow? I assume no getting around that?Not sure but he is now putting pressure on Wisconsin by making the situation public.
All he needs to do is have his “reps” speak on his behalf and he is fine.
It's easy to look great with Ohio State talent.Are you calling Luke Fickell a doofus? Dare you to say it to his face.
We played Ohio State to the wire on the road and I don't see him or others celebrating it. Ohio State is favored to beat that #1 team this week fwiw.if we played the #1 overall team and only lost by 3 you’d still be celebrating the moral victory.

Wisconsin is already imploding.Really? Give me one example when disgruntled players talked smack on their way out the door and sure enough, the program imploded shortly thereafter. Not saying it doesn't happen, I just can't think of it ever happening. I think it's much more typical that it amounts to nothing.

I think what is being communicated in this instance is the amount of smoke pouring out of Madison. It seems to be a larger amount than normal… maybe?Really?

Sounds like a stupid move by Lucas. Is this agreement binding?It sounds like Fickell and Wisconsin was blocking Lucas from the transfer portal because Lucas had previously signed some sort of agreement to return next season. Stupid move by Wisconsin.
Sort of. No court will ever force someone to work (or in this case, play football for) an entity if the person doesn't want to. That would be involuntary servitude. What courts may theoretically do is preclude him from playing for anyone else, which again is unlikely. Most likely, if anything he would have to pay damages to Wisconsin, whatever those are determined to be (maybe the Vadgers can establish that they didn't recruit any running backs, to their detriment). But no court will force him to play football for Wisconsin if he doesn't want to.Sounds like a stupid move by Lucas. Is this agreement binding?

We were 6-6, which is better than last year’s 5-7. We were also 1-3 in November to close out 2024 after 0-4 last year in November so that too was improvement. But if that’s enough to be making fun of Wisky, then have at it. I want to see a bit more progress before I make fun of them or any other school.
Yep, that will really make Wisconsin an attractive place to play. Sue a guy that changed his mind about where he wanted to play football.Good. I hope he has to pay something somehow
I make fun of Wisky for getting their azz kicked, this year, by that shitfy Matt Ruhle coached team that I will continue to watch and root for, and hope for additional progress next year. GBR and fuk 2nd choice and Wisky.You don’t get context, do you? Let’s start with the baseline and then add some context. They both took over their respective programs in 2023, now let’s look at the 8 years prior to their arrival.
Wisconsin > 72-29 (.713), 8 Bowl Games 7-1 (.875)
Nebraska > 36-55 (.396), 1 Bowl game 0-1 (.000)
Luke Fickell > 7-6, 5-7, Bowl Games 0-1
Matt Rhule > 5-7, 7-6, Bowl Games 1-0
There you go, now you have some context.
He’s a cornerback, not a running back. He signed whatever they gave him to sign in late November or early December, he decided to leave while the portal was open. Wisconsin blocked him. There is no case for damages unless every school has a case to sue for damages when a guy enters the portal in December. The NCAA still prohibits schools from paying players so I’m not sure what contract Wisconsin is having their players sign.Sort of.

To be clear, I don't have any way of knowing what sort of contract he may have signed either and whether the school could prevail in court. Just saying that if the school had some kind of enforceable agreement and could prove it was damaged by his backing out (the only scenario I can come up with was the one above -- "we didn't recruit anybody at your position and now we're screwed") he could theoretically be liable for damages.

There's a search feature, use it.Like who? Names some names. If people were really celebrating the close loss to OSU their posts should be easy to find. My guess is your full of shit like usual…
Maybe not but these kids have got to have some accountability in this.Yep, that will really make Wisconsin an attractive place to play. Sue a guy that changed his mind about where he wanted to play football.

I made the claims because they are true and it's exactly what happened. I have way more important things to do than to placate message board warriors on every request. I don't make anything up. Everything I say is backed by evidence. If you're too lazy or too stupid to look up that evidence that's readily available, it is not my problem.I’m not the one making up false claims. I’m not the the one saying people were celebrating the OSU loss. YOU SAID THAT. SO YOU LOOK IT TF UP AND PROVE YOUR CLAIMS. I never saw anything like that, I never made such claims and I don’t believe they really exist. So why TF should I look it up? You made the BS claims. Now prove it.
