October 08 Dominant win over Michigan State further strengthens idea that this year's Badgers are different (10.08.2026)
A 31-3 over Michigan State gets the Badgers off to a 2-0 start, and now we have to ask just what this team is genuinely capable of doing. Could they hang with the three ranked opponents on the docket after the bye week? Host JR Radcliffe and Journal Sentinel reporter Mark Stewart look at a big day for Colton Joseph running the football, the star turn of Jacob Harris, the reshuffled offensive line and the defense holding a team to just a field goal without the benefit of a turnover. Plus: Nobody believes in the men's basketball team. Again.

September 29 Badgers pull an absolute stunner! Win over Penn State changes trajectory of season ... and maybe program? (09.29.2026)

How did the Badgers do this, and what does it change about the season or the trajectory of the Luke Fickell era? Who stood out? How concerned are we still about a quarterback who threw three interceptions, including a pick-six? Is this a one-off or have they shown they have what it takes to stack into more success?
