Does anyone feel like explaining to me why the Badgers paid Wofford $500,000 dollars in a shitty economy to drag Wofford's sorry ass to Madison so we could stomp it in? Meanwhile our neighbors to the West, whom we share reciprocity with that put my siblings through school there, play a VERY overrated Cal and almost pull off a big-time upset. They get DAP and we lose $500,000 and get a W that might guarantee us a bowl game, but I have to believe there is a better way.
Why does it make sense to play paddycake opponents before the start of a grueling Big Ten season? Why can't we play a bad team for free on the road instead of a completely fucking awful team for $500,000 at home? Why not Vanderbilt, or some other nearby D-1 doormat? The Badgers have the most shameful non-conference schedule every year and it's sickening. Why can't we pony up a play a real team in the preseason ever? At least play somebody that is a real D-1 school before the Big Ten season play starts. How can you prepare for a team that can actually bring in players that actually have athletic ability? How is it OK to pay a horrible team to come to your place? I imagine the University makes all that money back during a home game, but I refuse to believe we couldn't get a decent school begging for national attention to come here and play UW for free.
I just remember this biting us square in the ass when a bad Cincy team beat us and ruined our national title hopes before a meaningful game was played. Nothing was learned and we are content to limp into the Outback Bowl every year and get shit-stomped by the SEC, fucking sweet.
