Sadly, The Packers And Badgers Are Going To Have Bad Football Season

From ESPN: They never even try to hammer people, they can't stop teams when it matters and even a patchwork secondary such as the one thrown together by the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday no longer needs to live in fear of Aaron Rodgers.
Ten months after reeling off 19 victories in a row, the big, bad Green Bay Packers no longer intimidate anyone, and they can't even protect a 21-3 halftime lead against a once-proud franchise starting over from scratch.
The wholesale collapse concluded when Mason Crosby basically choked, wildly hooking a 51-yard attempt that would have forced overtime.
It was the second miss for Crosby in a flat, disjointed, puzzling performance by the Packers, a seven-point favorite. Though less talented, the Colts just seemed to want it more and, in the end, they richly deserved their 30-27 victory at Lucas Oil Stadium.
"We've got the ability, but we're playing bad football," defensive end Ryan Pickett said. "We play well in spots and then we just die. We're not a good team."
At 2-3, the Packers sit two games behind Chicago and Minnesota in the NFC North and are tied for the ninth-best record in the NFC. The last three times they started 2-3 or worse, they finished 6-10, 8-8 and 4-12.  http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/173026821.html
And the Wisconsin Badgers, for the 2nd week in a row and despite beating Illinois, did not receive a single vote in the ESPN poll, for the 2nd week in a row.  When was the last time that has happened?
At least, those of us in Las Vegas have the UNLV Running Rebels football team... oh wait, they suck as well.
Crap, football wise, I am just screwed.
