This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The numbers don't back up your memory by luckymcd

I'm not sure if it's my comment you're referring to or not; but as tends to be the case with teams other than our own, the highs seem to get remembered while the lows get missed.

Wisconsin's record by opponent since Bielema left:

Ohio St. 0-4
Michigan 2-2 (we're 2-1 in the same timeframe)
Penn St. 0-3
Michigan St. 1-0 (we're 2-1 in the same timeframe)

They're also just 3-3 against Northwestern in that time and have lost seven games to unranked teams in seven seasons.

I understand the appeal of Chryst or other coaches from Wisconsin. They run a system far better suited to our recruiting base than we do. They also have achieved similar levels of success as we have with less highly regarded recruits. It's important to consider all the facts when considering coaches though, and I don't think that is being done by those championing Wisconsin.
