The Badger football team got knocked out last night at Camp Randall by the No. 6 Nittany Lions. The bad news is that last night's loss was the third straight for UW and the team is 0-3 in the Big Ten. The good news is that the schedule does get theoretically easier for the Badgers.
UW has 6 games remaining and 5 of those are against Big Ten opponents - Iowa, Illinois, Michigan St., Indiana, and Minnesota. The Badgers should be able to pull out at least 3 wins from that group (2 of those games are at Camp Randall, and playing at Indiana shouldn't be tough this year).
As long as the Badgers can find a way to regroup they should find themselves in a bowl game. But it almost certainly won't be played in 2009.
Meanwhile, in light of recent events, the university might want to consider changing the promotional video that is played during UW sporting events. It prominently features the UW marching band, including a cymbals-player with a crazed look near the end of the spot. Check it out:

First time since 94 when Kordell Stewart and Colorado crushed us 55-10 that we truly did not have enough talent to even stay in the game. What concerns me is that this is not a young team with 1st year starters trying to figure things out. This is a senior laden team, especially defensively, that is probably going to get worse before it gets better.
The QB situation is a huge concern. I don't see an answer on the roster, unless Phillips develops monumentally before next fall. Motor city bowl here we come.
