The Nebraska loss wasn’t pretty, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. In this Rajeev’s Corner, I dive into why I’m not panicking about Greg Gard, what context matters most right now, and why I still believe this Wisconsin basketball team can steady itself and move forward.

College football is changing fast. In this episode of Rajeev’s Corner, I dive into what the transfer portal is doing to the sport, what loyalty really means now, and whether “once a Badger, always a Badger” still holds up.

Wisconsin football enters a defining transfer portal offseason, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. On this episode of The Bucky Report, we go position by position through every major portal need for the Badgers in 2025 — breaking down how many players are needed at each spot, the types of athletes Wisconsin must target, and what it will take on the field to be successful next season.

But the biggest question looms over everything: will Wisconsin actually spend the way athletic director Chris McIntosh has promised? This show centers on whether the Badgers are truly prepared to go all in with NIL, revenue sharing, and roster investment — or if this is another offseason of talk without results.

If you care about Wisconsin football recruiting, transfer portal strategy, NIL spending, roster construction, and the future of the Luke Fickell era, this is the most important Badgers show of the offseason.

Wisconsin fans just suffered one of the toughest weekends in recent memory. The Badgers closed the football season with a brutal loss to Minnesota in the Axe Game — a performance defined by stalled offense, missed opportunities, and more questions about the program’s direction under Luke Fickell. And on Friday, the basketball team led off with a frustrating letdown against TCU, raising real concerns about consistency, shot creation, and defensive identity.

Tonight, Rajeev and Justin break down what went wrong in Minneapolis and what this loss says about the state of the program. We’ll also dig into the TCU loss, what it exposed about this Badger basketball roster, and whether this team can steady itself heading into conference play.

If you’re frustrated, confused, or just looking for answers — this is the show.

Wisconsin football finally delivered the dominant performance fans have been waiting for, hammering Illinois in a statement win that showcased real progress under Luke Fickell. The Badgers ran the ball with authority, unleashed a relentless pass rush, and looked energized on both sides of the ball in a way we haven’t seen all season. From Darrion Dupree’s explosive breakout to Carter Smith’s poise and the defense controlling the line of scrimmage, Wisconsin sent a loud message in Madison about where this program can still go.

In this episode of The Bucky Report, we break down every major storyline from the win over Illinois — how the offense finally clicked, why the run game exploded, the best defensive performances, and which young players are starting to emerge as the future of Wisconsin football. We also take a big-picture look at what this victory means for Luke Fickell’s long-term vision and whether this performance can be a turning point heading into the offseason.

If you’re looking for honest Wisconsin Badgers analysis, reaction, and big-picture insight on both football and basketball, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.
