Hard to believe it but the semester is almost underway again at Wisconsin, meaning football season is almost underway as well (in fact this will be the first time the semester will begin before the football season begins since 2005).

This will be my last post, but Adam is bringing on a couple of new guys to write for the blog, and I'll still be contributing to podcasts. I must personally say that Adam's 9-3 prediction seems a little lofty for a team with an extremely iffy situation at quarterback, with a competition between two guys that have played a combined total of like 15 snaps in college. I'll go 7-5, (4-4 in Big Ten) with the one non-conference loss coming this weekend against Northern Illinois. I'll (try to) defend that more on this week's podcast.

How the season probably won't shape up, but my predictions nonetheless:

Sep 5- Northern Illinois - Loss

September 12- Fresno State - Win

September 19- Wofford - Win

September 26- Michigan State- Win

October 3- At Minnesota - Loss

October 10 - At Ohio State- Loss

October 17- Iowa- Win

October 31- Purdue- Win

November 7- At Indiana- Win

November 14- Michigan- Loss

November 21- At Northwestern- Loss

December 5- At Hawaii- Win

It's almost football season.
