Russell Wilson Should Break Passer Rating Record in Rose Bowl

By

Wisconsin QB Russell Wilson will enter the 98th Rose Bowl game with a passer rating of 191.6. I bring this up because Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III just finished the 2011 season (including the wild Alamo Bowl win) with a pass efficiency of 189.5, which broke the FBS (previously known as college football Division-1A) single season record formerly held by Hawaii's … [Read more...] about Russell Wilson Should Break Passer Rating Record in Rose Bowl

Wisconsin Badgers Next 3 NFL OL: Konz, Wagner, Zeitler

By

In Wisconsin they produce offensive linemen like they produce cheese. Former Badger Joe Thomas is a franchise LT for the Cleveland Browns, and three Badgers alums play tight end in the NFL (Travis Beckum, Lance Kendricks and Garrett Graham) Even though they lost Gabe Carimi (now with Chicago Bears) and John Moffitt (Seattle Seahawks) on the left side, not to mention a backup … [Read more...] about Wisconsin Badgers Next 3 NFL OL: Konz, Wagner, Zeitler

Packers, Badgers Undefeated, Brewers Dominating NLDS, Cheeseheads on Fire!

By

Last year, sports fans in America’s Dairyland probably thought things were as good as they could possibly get. But 2011 is looking a whole 'nother level can be reached. You have the #5 Badgers at 5-0, the reigning Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers as one of the NFL’s two undefeated teams (the Detroit Lions are the other), and the Milwaukee Brewers about to eliminate the … [Read more...] about Packers, Badgers Undefeated, Brewers Dominating NLDS, Cheeseheads on Fire!

Badgers, Illini Again Top Rushing Teams in Big 10: Part 2 Illinois

By

Since Ron Zook took over at Illinois (2005), the top two rushing teams in the Big Ten have been Illinois and Wisconsin. It will surprise you, but the leagues top rushing team is the Illini, while the Badgers are second. Another surprising fact: the two schools are tied for 5th most players on current NFL rosters among Big Ten teams. This season is very young, but so far if … [Read more...] about Badgers, Illini Again Top Rushing Teams in Big 10: Part 2 Illinois

Wisconsin “Disappoints” in Win Over San Jose State Saturday

By

After watching Alabama handle San Jose State 48-3 last week and seeing the Badgers beat UNLV 41-21 in Las Vegas, many thought this game would be a similar blow-out. Instead, the Badgers just couldn't seem to open up their lead, leaving San Jose State hanging around until the end of the game. The Badgers were able to win 27-14, but it certainly was not pretty. Just like last … [Read more...] about Wisconsin “Disappoints” in Win Over San Jose State Saturday

College Football National Signing Day: Your Team’s Future, Now

By

By Paul Schmidt and thesportsbank.net staff This is almost like a holiday for many people, and doubles as the day that some people work the hardest. I'm speaking, of course, of National Signing Day, when those football players who waffle all season long finally make a decision (or, as in the case of Terelle Pryor a couple of seasons ago, delay the inevitable for several … [Read more...] about College Football National Signing Day: Your Team’s Future, Now

Wisconsin Badger update: Questions have been answered…at least for this week

By

By Jake McCormick Breathe a little easier, Badger fans. We won our NCAA-leading 12th straight season opener. We may have found a quarterback that can actually throw, a slew of underrated receivers with almost every skill set covered, and a defense that has already matched half of last year’s total for sacks and tackles for loss. A 28-20 victory over Northern Illinois isn’t … [Read more...] about Wisconsin Badger update: Questions have been answered…at least for this week
