Mike Lucas is struggling with who to like in the MLB playoffs after the Milwaukee Brewers "fell asleep at the plate" in the postseason. Tom Oates isn’t surprised by Green Bay’s loss to Oakland but doesn’t think the Packers’ defense was the problem. Oates is blaming a shaky offensive line, conservative coaching, and quarterback Jordan Love’s slipping QB rating. Lucas is waiting to see how the Packers contend once running back Aaron Jones is healthy. 

Also on the show, the history of the Wisconsin versus Iowa football series including the game when the Badgers snapped a 23-game losing streak which caused bars in downtown Madison to run out of beer and sent Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch up a pole.

Finally, how are college player licensing agreements affecting Badger football and basketball? It’s not nil.
