It has not yet translated to wins on the field, but Wisconsin football head coach Luke Fickell believes his team is moving in the right direction. “Internally, we are seeing a growth; it’s a little bit harder to see externally,” Fickell said two-thirds of the way through his third season at the helm of the Wisconsin Badgers.

Week-to-week, month-to-month, season-to-season, that internal growth has not shown up. Now, staring down the barrel of a disastrous season in terms of wins and losses, statistical production, and to generate buy-in among a fanbase longing for something to cling to, Fickell is considering a change at quarterback.

The Talkin’ Badgers After Dark crew reconvenes to break down Fickell’s odd comments, what it means for the culture in year three, and why Wisconsin has been incapable of getting opposing offenses to cough up the ball.

Plus, stick around for a palette cleanser as the guys discuss why Wisconsin men’s basketball head coach Greg Gard is “excited about what this team isn’t.”
