Play the damn games..........ok?!?

The whole thing is a mess and primarily a result of feckless B1G leadership and undue influence of Barry Alvarez in all things B1G football.
Wisconsin is deciding not to play this weekend due to six players and six coaches testing positive. The Badgers are down to their 4th string QB as a result. Barry is pulling the plug on this game as a no contest, but also saying that the 21 day B1G rule for positive players should be reduced. They want to avoid having to play this game with their 4th string QB and then get their starters cleared for next week to play against Purdue.
The B1G decided that teams can back out of games due to positive cases even if it does not push a team above the threshold for a mandatory cancellation. Wisconsin should be forced to forfeit this game, not skirt by with a no contest.
Adding a layer to the cake of stupidity that is the B1G, Penn State is allowing students to congregate at their baseball, lacrosse, and soccer stadiums to watch the PSU-OSU game on Jumbotrons together. The students can’t distance themselves in PSU’s 110,000 seat stadium where the game will be played, but they can do the same in multiple stadiums around the campus during the game...

This just further reinforces how poorly the B1G has handled the season.  If they'd been proactive and not dilly dallied around, they could have scheduled bye weeks to allow for such events and the possibility that such games could be made up in the bye weeks.  

21 days seems like an excessive amount of time to make them sit out..

As bad as Penix was in the first 59 minutes he was that good the rest of the game. Well done.  Instant classic for sure. And the heartbreak couldn’t happen to a more deserving fan base 

Big 10 officials fuming rn

(Just for luck)
Does anybody really think Penix can win this for us in overtime??

Regardless of what happens, you bring back the Kevin Wilson method of discipline and lock the special teams coach in a shed for the rest of the weekend. 

I have a feeling this is going to end in the most IU way possible. Hope I’m wrong. 

At least we're changing it up and starting with the crippling depression in the first game this year.

Good thing we kicked our QB to the curb that led us to most successful season in decades. Definitely a good leadership decision 

I have absolutely no faith that we'll even get a first down, let alone have an opportunity to score. 

100%

Threw for 371 yards and completed 75% of his passes last season against Penn State. Don’t want to relitigate all of that, but I think he was severely underrated by a lot of people. 

Penix is really making me miss Ramsey

This is probably the toughest opponent Penix has ever faced.  
 
so not surprising what’s happening but also why expectations for him should have been tempered. 

Wish we still had Ramsey. 

Well Allen isn’t any better at clock management than he was last year. 

**** TOM ALLEN.  There is no ******* reason to not take a god damned knee.
