The transfer portal is in full swing and the Badgers picked up three likely starters in Tanner Koziol, Parker Petersen, and Mason Reiger!  How will these three fit into the starting lineup and what else does Luke Fickell need to do to get this Wisconsin Badgers football team ready for next season?!? 

Greg Gard and his Badger basketball team got a much needed victory at Butler in Indianapolis.  The return to form of the bigs Steven Crowl and Nolan Winter catapulted this team to victory.  We get into all the happenings of this basketball team as well

We will touch shortly on the Wisconsin Volleyball team as well!!

Greg Gard and the Wisconsin Basketball team are in the midst of a very tough early early season stretch.  Thus far, they sit at 0-3 with a trip to Butler on the horizon.  Does Greg Gard need to change things with the lineup?  Who needs more and less minutes to get this team out of their slump!

The 2025 football schedule is out, and the B1G conference did us NO favors!  An October straight from hell will be the center piece of what is surely one of the most difficult schedules in the country next season.

A packed show this week with so much to get into!  Jeff Grimes is Luke Fickell's choice to lead the Badgers offense in 2025.  After time at Kansas, Baylor, and BYU, can Grimes return the Badgers offense to past glory?  What kind of offense will he run and how does this fit the vision that Luke Fickell has laid out for this Wisconsin Badgers football program?

Greg Gard and the Wisconsin Badgers basketball team fell to rival Marquette in Milwaukee on Saturday.  After 2 straight losses and 2 very tough games on the horizon, we discuss whether this team can be the real deal?  Can they do enough defensively to allow the offense to shine?

The Wisconsin Badgers suffered arguably one of the most painful losses they've had in years, and are now sadly on the cusp of missing a bowl for the first time in 23 years..its not a fun time to be a Badger, and real questions now have to be asked about the efficacy of this coaching staff.  Is there still belief in Luke Fickell?  Can the recruiting be enough for now?  So much to break down about this football team

Meanwhile..Greg Gard has his boys undefeated!  After winning an early season tournament, questions (the good kind) have to be asked about how good this team can really be!  John Tonje is a bona fide star and could be the one of the nation's best wings this year! 

QB Carter Smith is the latest huge get for Fickell and this staff...how bright does the future look with him under center?

A tale of two games this weekend.  Bittersweet results leave Badger fans wishing for a bit more success!  
Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers football team gave Oregon a run for their money but fell short due to poor Quarterback play.  The defense played admirably in an effort that could have been the biggest win in nearly 15 years..but once again just couldn't happen.  We get into the game review and talk about the positives that can be taken!  Is it time for a QB change?  We give you our take!
Friday night was a joy in Madison as John Tonje led the Badges with 41 points in a huge upset of 9th ranked Arizona Wildcats!!  How good can this team be i 2024?  TONJE IS A STAR!
