  • Ep. 190: Wisconsin Spring Football Q&A Part 5

    The BadgerBlitz.com Podcast returns once again with our last Q&A of the spring football season. Senior writer Jake Kocorowski requested questions from Wisconsin fans last Friday -- just hours before the program's final practice of April -- and y'all came through with plenty of them!

    The topics discussed this podcast include:

    • The quarterback position and if any players stood out from that room; also, a discussion on Deacon Hill
    • The offensive line responding to new position coach Bob Bostad
    • If Wisconsin's defense is one injury away from being deemed "relatively soft up the middle"
    • The wide receiver room and the players' performances this spring

                • Ep. 181: Breaking down Wisconsin and Michigan's postgame melee, and oh yeah, the Badgers' win over the Wolverines

                  BadgerBlitz.com's podcast returns early this week to chat about the postgame skirmish between the Wisconsin Badgers and Michigan Wolverines from various angles. That, and you know, actually discuss the win over Juwan Howard's program thanks to a huge second half surge. We then talk about the jersey retirement ceremony for Michael Finley and his legacy in Madison.

                  Here's the full breakdown below:

                  • What transpired in the final minute of the game with Gard putting in reserves that included some walk-ons, the "press' or "pressure" from Howard and Michigan, and "THE" timeout
                  • What transpired in the handshake line from initial harsh words to Howard hitting Krabbenhoft and players' involvement thereafter
                  • What's next in terms of punishments, and who actually should serve them

                  • After that, we discuss the actual game -- one where Johnny Davis asserted himself once again in the second half. Plus, we talk about the impact of Finley and the Wisconsin teams of that era
