2025 4-8

Yeah he’s had some lousy luck with QBs getting injured but the amount of hype he’s received this offseason is nauseating. The fan base is still split. Half want him gone. The other half believe he’s assembled a 10 win team!

Still hasn’t produced a 1k rusher in his tenure, last season was the first time Wisconsin hasn’t had a player selected in NFL Draft since 1978!

Since 2016 Wisconsin has started 14,12,12,12, 14, 16, 12,10, 9, 11 and 8 in 2026.

OFFENSE = 5

QB RSr. Colton Joseph 6’1 215 *Old Dominion transfer. Talented runner. Worried for him as a passer.

TE RSo. Grant Stec 6’5 240

LG So. Collin Cuberly 6’6 325

C RSr. Austin Kawecki 6’4 310 *OKSt transfer

RT Kevin Haywood 6’8 320 *coming off ACL surgery. Racially slotted to RT to make room for sumo LT transfer.

DEFENSE = 3

LB So. Mason Posa 6’3 235

LB So. Cooper Catalano 6’1 230

SS RSr. Matt Jung 6’2 220

A lot of pressure put on 2nd year LBs Posa and Catalano to lead the Defense…

Key Backups: QB Ryan Hopkins(true freshman, I expect him to win number 2 job over upside QB deuce Adams). TE Ryan Schwendaman, OL Blake Cherry, Barrett Nelson, Nolan Davenport, and Ryan Cory. DL Jake Andersen, LBS Thomas Heiberger, Aaron Witt, Thomas Schareder, and Liam Danitz. Safeties Carson Van Dinter and Grant Dean.

Hey, it's Wisconsin's blackest team ever! I'm amazed that statements like this simply don't occur to the typical fan.

I should add that Blake Cherry is taking the reps
At RG while Mendell (mixed) is out with foot surgery. May be a slight bump to 9. I’ll keep an eye on the Guard position as summer closes.

Also Tyler Jansey, a converted LB, will be the team’s FB. Not sure how much he will be used.

Dickell is worse than Andersen.

Here's some handy charts that even a Wisconsin DWF might be able to understand.....



Note: 2020 was excluded due to the COVID scam shortened season.

who compiled that chart?

if “our guys” equals “White athletes,” then more gym rats tends toward more wins. not surprising, except to the herd.

I did, with my AI personal assistant.

I was trying to not use racial language, as I wasn’t sure if it would make the AI not want to compile my data. Probably being paranoid, but it wouldn’t breakdown rosters on racial lines when I’ve tried previously.

interesting. “unbiased” mainstream ai models are not a thing. perhaps Gab’s package of ai models would work?

I’ve got to give them a shot still. Has anyone used them yet? Probably a topic for another thread.
