Published on: 15th September, 2009
That's just how it is. I'm overlooking Wofford. I have the September 26 date with Sparty circled. This weekend? Meh. You can't overlook anyone, right? I can, and I will. Though I hope the Badgers don't. And that's the thing. They won't. I'm fairly confident the Badgers have a one-point escape over Cal Poly in ...Some Early Lessons Show The Badgers Have Promise

We really don't know how good the Badgers are just yet (though the same can be said for virtually every team). After two weeks, Bucky is 2-0, but has endured two scares.

Complete this sentence: "If you have two starting quarterbacks...
