Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the Wisconsin football program executing such a masterful off-season plan - at least on paper.
Athletic director Chris McIntosh deserves a tip of the cap - the man has STONES.

Chucky Hepburn played 38 minutes on the road at Assembly Hall and didn’t commit a single turnover. He certainly doesn’t look like a true freshman manning the point.

You’ll have to forgive me, but I’m still salty that Melvin Gordon didn’t win the Heisman Trophy in 2014.
This dude ran for 2,587 yards (2nd most in a single season in NCAA history) on 7.5 yards per carry and added 153 receiving yards + 32 touchdowns.
Fucking insane.

Since taking over at Wisconsin, the tag team of Luke Fickell and Phil Longo has secured commitments from four of the program's top six QB recruits EVER.
It’s almost unfathomable what they’ve accomplished in such a short time — especially at QB.

The Packers have dominated the Bears for the last three decades.
Brett Favre’s Packers teams were 22-10 against the Bears.
Aaron Rodgers Packers teams are 22-5 against the Bears.

Everyone is bummed that Wisconsin got knocked out of the NCAA Tournament early, myself included.
But can we stop acting like the program is in shambles under Greg Gard? You don’t have to like the guy, but he’s a damn good head coach.

I’m still rattled that Melvin Gordon didn’t win the Heisman in 2014.
He ran for 2,587 yards (2nd most in a single season in NCAA history) on 7.5 yards per carry and added 153 receiving yards + 32 total touchdowns.
If RBs can’t win the Heisman anymore, the NCAA can just say it.
Kenneth Walker not being invited to New York remains the biggest Heisman snub in the past 10 years
