    Is Adam Haluska of Iowa a complete fraud as a basketball player?
    Question:
    I have watched this chump twice play against the Wisconsin Badgers and both times he was exactly the same!!! A ball hog who takes rediculous shots and repeatedly lowers his head and blindly drives the lane hoping for a foul call to go to the free throw line!!! He can't pass or play much defense but all I keep hearing is about how he leads the big ten in scoring!!! BFD!!! Anybody can fill the stat sheet against lousy teams. This guy WILL NEVER be a NBA player as he will get posted up repeatedly. He also won't get half the BS calls he gets now simply because he appears to have studied at the Larry Bird or DUKE school of flopping! I guess against good teams with good defender he isn't worth a turd! In t wo games against Wisconsin he is shooting 10 for 38. . . .OUCH!!!!


    Answer:
    he is an ok player, a lot of people have put up bad numbers against the badgers this year they are just a good team, but haluska is ok, nothing spectacular, just ok

Minnesota 2/20/08 @ Illinois 3/8/08 @ Northwestern 3/9/08 @ Northwestern Now that is alot of BIG Important Games that are not able to be viewed on TV for Charter Cable Customers. Sometimes when a game was not on TV and it was on a Satilite Network they would show it on WISC TV 3 CBS, or My Madison TV 14, which realy helps, they got to have some of The Games on The Big Ten Network on WISC, and My 14. I hope to God by next year, so many Charter Cable Customers will complain to Charter, that Charter will HAVE to Have The Big Ten Network for the 2008-2009 Season. The Big Ten Network will be the WORST thing EVER, to happen to The Big Ten, unless if Charter and other Cable Companies like Comcast, Time Warner, through out Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Pennsylvania (Those are the states that have a Big Ten Team, and have The Big Ten Network)


    Answer:
    Why the hell are you bothering us with your problem ? Contact someone who can straighten this out for you. Call Charter Cable to find out what your options are. Threaten a class action suit and use the word 'monopoly' a few times. Call the FCC and find out what you can do. I'm sure that everyone who reads this will print it out and clip[ it to their refrigerator because virtually everyone in the country is dying to watch Wisconsin football and basketball games. I'll bet Bo Ryan doesn't even care.

    What will the Wisconsin Badgers record be this upcoming year in football?
    Question:
    I think 10-2 with losses at Michigan and at Iowa. What do you think?


    Answer:
    No - I think they will take Iowa and loss to Michigan. I am a die hard Illini fan but the Badgers are going to be awesome this year - and will probably be tied for the Big Ten Conference with Ohio State. They most likey will go 11-1 if no one significant gets hurt.

    Why are all the dumbest ncaa football games on tv and none of the good ones are on?
    Question:
    we are stuck with lame a.s.s games like virgina tech vs.clemson (yaaaaaaaaawn) then there was georgia v.s tennessee (okay semi decent game but really both teams are boring to watch) NOW they are about to show freaking ucla vs notre dame..MY GOD..please someone stop the hell. oh I didn't even mention asu vs washington state (please someone shoot me) heck texas and ou AREN'T EVEN ON TV..yet we had to watch freaking illini vs wis (really..lets be real wis isn't a top 10 team and illinios only looks good because their league is a joke). the badgers-they should have lost to unlv) AND iowa AND michigan state. but calls got them the wins heck i'm out here on the west coast and usc isn't even playing..but yet i have to watch ucla and notre dame? i'm a cal fan (and grad) but no way in hell do i care to watch ucla and notre dame much rather watch ou vs texas. at least we get florida and LSU. but even that will probably ruined some how. that's what i mean. who wants to watch neb and misso? (yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn) both teams aren't worth a dime. virigna tech like i said..boooooooooooring. i have comcast so i'm not getting the usc standford game. instead i have to watch two really boring baseball teams oh and instead of giving me a west coast game i get a lame a.s.s texas am vs oklahoma state WHAT THE HELL! DC. don't be a coward like one of your lame teams i probably mentioned. use your real account instead of a fake one.


    Answer:
    Texas/ OU was on in So Cal. It was a great game. The only other game that I really don't get being on ABC is UCLA/Notre Dame. That really could have gone over to cable today and played only in the LA market. All the other games were actually pretty exciting. I think you are wishing the Cal Bears were on right now! BTW~ can't wait till the Bears stomp the Trojans.

    Wisconsin Badgers Football?
    Question:
    I'm wondering how people think the Badgers will do. They are 7-1 with thier only loss coming to Michingan. I think they were underated going into the season, but P.J. Hill and their defense have been dominant. The only game that i think they will have trouble with is the game AT Iowa.


    Answer:
    I am a huge Michigan fan and I think the game Michigan strugled the most with was probaly Wisconsin. I think Wisconsin can kick Iowa's #$% all they need to worry about is the OSU game. That's what everyone worries about and no team shouldn't bet Wisconsin is one of those teams can take there mind off it a little which makes them a great team if they can do that. No matter how much Michigan strugled verse Iowa I still think Wisconsin was the hardest matchup. Please Badgers BEAT OSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
