Thanks for the correction Soul. You are right, Joe Thomas has been a stud right out of the box. Good call.

I'd gladly trade them Forte for Thomas. Then we'd have a pair of Badger bookends.
I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

We need Badger offensive linemen. I'd be OK if we had Badgers tackle-to-tackle. The "Big Uglies" 
There are 8 Wisconsin offensive linemen in the NFL right now. They know how to coach up olinemen as well as any school in America.

Michigan and Ohio State used to send a lot of Olineman to the pros but lately Wisconsin and Iowa are taking the lead. I think one big reason the Badgers stay in contention ever year is their line. They just keep finding guys and replacing the seniors who graduate with the guy who has been playing behind him. They have another outstanding OT prospect this year too.
