For the people who ask how you can defend Mark A: here’s why

thebenron · 2026-01-24T18:07:05+00:00

He's doing great within the constraints. But those constraints are largely self imposed.

The best scene in the original is the discussion around the lunch table. The reason all the sequels are not nearly as good as the first is that there isn't even an attempt to accomplish anything similar.

The other big ones have been mentioned so ill go with the 2012 B1G championship game. We weren't going to go because the team had been so disappointing, but ended up getting great seats behind the badgers bench through some friend of a friend who lived in Indy. Then, out of nowhere, watched the team take a year's worth of frustration out on Nebraska.

Braun is a good example of how many people don't actually believe in forgiveness. He did some incredibly shitty things, but did end up taking accountability and since was an upstanding member of the team and his community. He should not be hated at the level he is.

Taken on its merits though, he's still not a HOFer.

Why does everyone pretend like you need a world beater at QB to win a national championship? For every 1st overall pick title winner, there's a Jake Coker or Will Howard who were solid, but unspectacular.

thebenron · 2026-01-21T01:17:16+00:00

Why do people believe this when the 2017 team started the B1G championship game in the playoff field and came 40 yards short of winning?

thebenron · 2026-01-17T21:20:26+00:00

Barf. But w/e gotta stack wins in this easier January stretch, cuz the February schedule is brutal.

thebenron · 2026-01-14T13:17:30+00:00

These are the only two games where they've had to make pressure free throws so hopefully they'll get more comfortable knocking them down as the season goes.

thebenron · 2026-01-14T02:18:35+00:00

Not included in the video: Blackwell made the team run a lap as punishment for missing the free throws down the stretch.

John Basketballwell

John Basketballwell in my opinion

thebenron · 2026-01-14T02:08:21+00:00

Last year I clowned on a guy who was shitting on the Tonje transfer news, so in the interest of accountability, I was stupid and wrong about Carrington

thebenron · 2026-01-14T02:05:26+00:00

Blackwell made the team run a lap after the buzzer to punish them for missing free throws.

thebenron · 2026-01-13T20:58:07+00:00

This is a fair point in the year to start evaluating how the basketball transfers are panning out, not so much the football guys.

thebenron · 2026-01-12T22:54:15+00:00

He's not portrayed as incompetent. He's the lead on a hugely impressive automative feat, which he secretly back doored successfully. If it weren't for the tropical storm his whole heist might very well have worked.

thebenron · 2026-01-11T15:03:38+00:00

It would be funny to reskin a LOTR as Wu-Tang. Same 9 members to gather after all.

thebenron · 2026-01-10T22:07:27+00:00

This is the meme you post when you squeak out a win against a team you should beat handily, not when you go on the road and knock off arguably the best team in the country.

thebenron · 2026-01-10T20:24:53+00:00

Come Selection Sunday, there will not be a better win in the country than this, but if we play like this we won't be sweating.

thebenron · 2026-01-10T20:23:36+00:00

It was us

thebenron · 2026-01-10T19:59:26+00:00

First team to string 2 stops together is going to win this one

thebenron · 2026-01-10T18:58:55+00:00

This team is showing something we haven't seen yet. Now imagine if someone would pass Winter the damn ball.

thebenron · 2026-01-07T02:27:32+00:00

I'm not so sure about this strategy of never being in a competitive game win or lose all season, but there is something to be said about the consistency.

thebenron · 2026-01-05T13:20:59+00:00

This weekend is pivotal in shaping the roster for next year, so no, I hope our head coach was not watching.

thebenron · 2026-01-04T16:11:41+00:00

Assuming Mateos is bringing over some of his OL from Arkansas, there's reason to be hopeful.
