Wisconsin 48, Michigan 28. That’s former Michigan center Stevie Everitt on the sideline near the end of the game—not pleased, not really looking too patient either. That’s me too.

I agree, losing sucks. I hate it. I hate listening to MSU and Ohio state fans after a loss, and the last few years have not been fun in that regard.
But…..
Aren't you the guy in the maple street magazine who predicted 6 wins ? Or was it 5 ?
Weren't a lot of people making similar predictions at the beginning of the year ?
Wisconsin is ranked #5 in the country and while a lot of our wins have been pretty ugly, they have been wins. Progress has been made, although after watching the D today it's hard to remember.
I understand people being upset, but we still have OSU and a Bowl game left, let's see if we can get something out of those 2 games at least.

Forgot to put this in, thought it was pretty funny:

Someone's already looking for a new coach.

Duffy, I predicted 6 and Rich Rod gone but I think preseason W-L predictions are silly FWIW.

Seven wins is probably where this team should be right now BUT I do think people have a legitimate gripe when it comes to the defense in terms of scheming and coaching. Yes, overall our defensive players are young but from Game 1 to Game 11 our defense hasn't gotten progressively better i.e. the same tackling and assignment mistakes plus points allowed. That's what I wanted to see. In fact, the UConn game was our best game defensively and it's pretty much has gone all downhill from there (I consider the Purdue game a fluke for both the offense and defense due to the poor weather conditions). And I don't think anyone saw the kicking game become the disaster that it is right now. But I don't blame Rich Rod for that. I just think we don't have FG kickers who have the "onions" to play big time ball.

I agree pre-season predictions are silly, I guess my point is if Doc & Marty McFly showed up in their Delorean outside my house and took me to my August self to tell him we had 7 wins before Ohio State, I would of totally taken that.
Watching the defense is gut wrenching though, or seeing the offense get blanked in a half. I try to console myself with thoughts that most everyone returns and Michigan will be healthier next season (knock wood).
