Back in the preseason, I published an article entitled "One more year then NFL for Wisconsin's John Clay?" Today, that became prophesy as a Milwaukee newspaper reports Clay will forgo his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft. So what are his strengths and weaknesses? What does he bring to the NFL table? Here we re-publish that article, based off my Big Ten … [Read more...] about Wisconsin RB John Clay Entering the NFL Draft

Northwestern vs. Wisconsin: Battle for Better Bowl Placement
By Paul M. Banks and Jake McCormick (PMB) #16 Wisconsin has had themselves a quietly, make that very quietly, productive season. 9-2, 5-2 and neither of their losses were very bad losses.

There were no … [Read more...] about Badgers handle Wofford, take training wheels off for MSU
Wisconsin Badger update: Questions have been answered…at least for this week
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
