In the words of George Harrison...

...My Dear Lord. We are the worst 5-0 team in the country. Our "defense" is terrible. I will grant that Sparty has some talent on the offensive side of the ball, but the fact that they ran the same 3 plays over and over and over and over, and were successful over and over and over and over does not bode well for the intelligence of our "defenders", nor for the coaching staff's ability to make adjustments (which, by the way, seemed to be a strength last year).

I agree with Mr. Man, the Illini should be favored because they may actually have an offense that is harder for our "defense" to handle. However, I do think that the coaches and press may be dumb enough to move us up rather than down in the polls.

Shouldn't I enjoy my team being 5-0 more than this? This sucks.

Yep. In the fourth quarter I was going nuts. How many times can you run a sweep or throw a designed pass to the halfback? Umm, apparently the entire game, until the last play, when Hodge finally played it right. That was pretty hilarious, actually.

What's weird about all this is that some games and/or periods of games, the defense and/or offense looks solid. Like the first few drives for the offense yesterday--they looked pretty solid. Or the defense's third quarter against the Citadel (currently ahead of Appalachian State in the Southern Conference standings). But they are incapable of putting it together for a whole game, or even playing solid at the same time. Key-rist. I'm feeling an on the road ass-kicking coming UW's way, a-la Sparty unexpectedly killing them in 2004.

From this point forward I would prefer it if you referred to the half of the Wisconsin football team that tries to stop the other team as "defense", not defense. As in putting both of your index and middle fingers up and curling them twice when you say the word. You will do this when you speak of them as well.
