Our team is absolutely locked and loaded with talent. There’s no other way to put it. We’re ready to ball out against everyone and anyone who is dumb enough to test us.
The time for negotiations ended at sunup today. Now, it’s time to massacre whoever takes the field wearing different colors.
Voluntary workouts are the first step in that process, and I could cry I’m so damn happy! Pundits will debate for the next three months where the Badgers should be and what we should expect.
All I’ll say is that we’re going to be damn good, and anyone dumb enough to bet against us has everything they deserve coming their way.
We’re the Wisconsin Badgers, and we’re coming for it all in 2020. Today is the first step in that journey. Now, let’s get to work and win some damn football games.

Not one Democrat responded or condemned the Minneapolis City Council for pushing to defund law enforcement .
City Council President Lisa Bender , City Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins and council members made the announcement at a rally , saying they plan to “ dismantle ” their police department .
The money for the police would instead go towards a “ community-based public safety model , ” according to the local TV station KSTP .

Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin slammed the idea of defunding the police Monday, an idea some Democrats have run with after the death of George Floyd.
“You can’t defund the police, that’s stupid, it’s crazy and anyone who talks about that is nuts,” Sen. Joe Manchin told Politico. “You have to have the police.”
This comes after The Daily Caller contacted every Senate Democrat asking if they would consider defunding the police after a majority of the Minneapolis City Council pledged to “dismantle” the city’s police department as a solution to police violence after George Floyd’s death. Not one Democrat responded or condemned the Minneapolis City Council for pushing to defund law enforcement.
City Council President Lisa Bender, City Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins and council members made the announcement at a rally, saying they plan to “dismantle” their police department. The money for the police would instead go towards a “community-based public safety model,” according to the local TV station KSTP.

Earlier Sunday morning, Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker was asked about defunding the police, to which he responded by saying he would not defend or use the term but that he does believe the U.S. is “overpoliced as a society.”
Former Hillary Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon, who now leads the left-wing group Demand Justice, tweeted out his support for defunding the police Wednesday. Protesters then booed Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Saturday after he wouldn’t say he would abolish the city’s police department.
Protesters began chanting, “Go home Jacob, go home! Go home Jacob, go home!”

Bro, not telling you how you should have addressed it but I was there and it’s false, I don’t recall him saying the N WORD at all.
