wisconsin V tcu bowl

**EaglesPhan36** · 12-01-10, 04:50 PM

Gary Patterson with a month to prepare against an offense that needs to run to succeed? I'll keep my purple kool aid.

**milwaukee mike** · 12-01-10, 04:52 PM

i think tcu can do more than "closely hang" with the badgers
keep in mind those last 3 teams wisconsin ran up the score on were completely pathetic - indiana, michigan, and northwestern have nothing close to the defense that tcu has

**ncat12** · 12-01-10, 04:52 PM

drink up, the only way you stop that run is w/ 10 in the box...it is the MEN V the boys

**ncat12** · 12-01-10, 04:53 PM

no doubt about the last 3 , remember they took it to ohio st

**firedawg** · 12-01-10, 04:57 PM

wisky will destroy them.........

**pokernut9999** · 12-01-10, 05:00 PM

Doubt it will happen , Wisconsin will be Rose Bowl bound to play Stanford

**Sunde91** · 12-01-10, 05:00 PM

Don't know what it's going to take for people to realize teams like TCU and Boise are jokes. How's strong is that 9 point win over Oregon State looking?? Utah win?? 5 point win over SDSU at home??

Don't want to hear about Gary Patterson either "getting a month to prepare"..see how they did against Boise last year. The guy has done nothing.

**The Bet Master** · 12-01-10, 05:03 PM

I don't think it will happen. Since Stanford will be ranked #4 or #5 they'll still keep the Pac 10 Big 10 Relationship. Your more likely to see Ohio St. Vs. TCU or Arkansas Vs. TCU in another BCS game.

**Harry Beever** · 12-01-10, 05:06 PM

wisconsin also has a month to prepare, which means they're gonna change up their style just like every other team. both teams will mix things up obviously. i'll take the badgers by a touchdown.

**cant call it** · 12-01-10, 05:13 PM

I like wisc to win a close one

Love the thread!

Love the Badgers by at least 5.

Wisky -5...no more than -5. Hell, TCU will probably be favored.

2 cents.

Most posters do not grasp this concept.

**Ch3fDan** · 12-01-10, 05:27 PM

If it does come down to TCU vs Wisconsin I think that will be an awesome game. However, I'm sure the in the interest of the Rose Bowl they will pick Stanford over TCU.

Except the Rose Bowl is contracted to take a non-AQ BCS eligible school the first time it loses a team to NCG for 2011-2014. Thus, TCU.

They also played clunkers against San Jose, UNLV, Az St and lost by 2 scores to Sparty... Lots and lots of points does not mean you are unbeatable... TCU plays defense in the trenches and this game will not be the blow-out you envision.. I can promise you of this...

THIS.... TCU is going to the Rose or the BCS Title game... not even a discussion

Unfortunately, as much as we may want the traditional Pac10-Big10 matchup, it can't happen this year.

**dngf** · 12-01-10, 06:30 PM

Unless Oregon State upsets Oregon in the Civil War. In which case it very well could be Oregon vs Wisky.

**rm18** · 12-01-10, 06:34 PM

These are the two best teams in the country, Wisky is the only team that I would not take TCU against but would still be a good game.

Wisky -13.5 vs. Oregon
Wisky- 17 vs. Auburn
Wisky -3.5 vs. TCU

**M.W.** · 12-01-10, 11:19 PM

75% chance TCU beats Wisconsin.

**steve18** · 12-01-10, 11:27 PM

Wisconsin wins this game hands down. TCU could barely beat San Diego State as almost four touchdown favorites. Who are they kidding themselves?

**M.W.** · 12-01-10, 11:40 PM

Can I be your bookie?

**M.W.** · 12-01-10, 11:46 PM

Or to put it another way, do you want to bet some SBR points?

Surely if you followed college football you would know that San Diego St was a very decent football team? They lost 4 games by a combined total of 15 pts... They had Missouri beat in Columbia but for an amazing 68 yard catch and run with 51 secs let...the same Missouri team that put the smack down on #1 at the time Oklahoma when at home...

I certainly hope you don't handicap your own games.... or at the very least steer clear of the MWC...

**your pixel army** · 12-02-10, 12:04 AM

Remember when Wisconsin had a month to prepare for a Miami team that was supposed to run circles around them last year?

I like TCU, but I think they lose by a TD.

**terpkeg** · 12-02-10, 12:09 AM

I think this would be a -4 at the most, probably -3..

**M.W.** · 12-02-10, 12:09 AM

If you're going to base your impression of a team on one game, why aren't you talking about Wisconsin vs. SJSU? Obviously, SJSU was healthier early in the season, but beating them by 14 at home is pitiful compared to beating SDSU by 5. And Wisconsin had no excuse. At least the SDSU game for TCU came the week after their huge showdown against, and beatdown of, top-10 Utah. It was a huge letdown spot when you would expect TCU to play 10-14 points worse than usual.

But the point is that it's ridiculous to base your handicapping on what a team did in one out of the eleven games they played.

oh a most def. , when the bowl games are set we will have a good discussion

**jjgold** · 12-02-10, 11:21 AM

TCU easy

**1teamparlay** · 12-02-10, 11:37 AM

Will definitely be an interesting line. Wisconsin finished so strong that it definitely gives them a lot of credibility of big 10 nutsuckers. I'm guessing it will be Wisconsin by 3. Will people really be that confident in Wisconsin that they would give up the hook?

**FrozenMAN** · 12-02-10, 01:05 PM

if dalton is healthy TCU can whip up on wisconsin and truly show who this team really is...an overrated team...only thing that could lead to problems is wisconsin's size, as they are huge compared to TCU, who are quicker.....

LET'S GO TCU!!!!! i wana see em drop 70 on em and roll em like wisky likes to do to the dump schools of the big ten

So rather than root for your conference you want to see Wisconsin lose because they are the best team in the Big 10?

**k13** · 12-02-10, 01:17 PM

Its -3 TCU early.

**italianman4000** · 12-02-10, 01:17 PM

Go Badgers!!!!
