The dumb timeouts, the weird play-calling, the lack of focus on Beckham at the start (although Graham did have a nice game). You're right, it was sort of like the UNLV game at times. I like Paul Chryst and think he's a good OC, but I think the announcers need to dial down the whole "this guy is one of the best minds in the game, he'll have a head coaching job soon" talk a little.<BR/><BR/>Two unintentional/annoying moments:<BR/><BR/>1. Speaking of Chryst, did anyone catch when the shot of him in the booth while the announcers were talking about his abilities? As they are talking, Chryst spits something out of his mouth (looked like chewing dip or some sort of food) and takes a drink. Kind of funny.<BR/><BR/>2. While the trainers attended to Donovan's injury - which at first glanced seemed ver serious - the cameras cut to TD's concerned family. Two fans - UW fans sadly - answer their cell phone, realize they are on TV and jump up and down and wave to the cameras at the very moment the parents are straining to see what's going on the field. Nice work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791900055012948732.post-75759498350391772382008-01-02T11:06:00.000-06:002008-01-02T11:06:00.000-06:00Hey Scott, As one of the posters at Camp Lambeau, ...Hey Scott, <BR/>As one of the posters at Camp Lambeau, we listed you on there, as per your suggestion. If you want to reciprocate, that'd be great. It's just http://camplambeau.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>Totally agree with your view of the odd playcalls. Also, Lance probably shouldn't have been playing at all. His unbreakable tendency to dance simply does not work against a fast, physical defense. The one good play he had, (the first coming-across sweep) he just ran without dancing. When is that guy going to learn? <BR/>I also felt that Chryst fell in love with the pass too much, especially after Donovan got knocked around early and wasn't full operable. The run game had stops and starts, but generally it was working.

I came into it with fairly low expectations (the SEC is unstoppable, don't-ya-know!) and Bucky was supposed to play the role of the overmatched. Instead they stayed right with them and had a decent shot to win at the end (where of course the basketball team completed the steal).<BR/><BR/>All in all, a good season. Others have mentioned it, but it was another year where the pre-season hype (justified or not) didn't match up to the on the field production. Similar to '94 et al. <BR/><BR/>Great point about the 40 wins for the seniors. I noticed that too. It's indeed a good time to be a Badger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
