 Spring football has come to an end.  Rajeev and Justin are back with special Guest Nick Osen from 247 Sports to break down some of the happenings of the 15 practices.  Who was most improved?  Who's the MVP thus far?  Those and so much more!

Luke Fickell signed some much needed reinforcements in offensive lineman Davis Heinzen and Tight end Lance Mason to replace at least some of the production lost from the injured Kevin Heywood and transfer out Tanner Koziol.  How will these new players impact the team's depth?

Greg Gard also landed a few more players to round out his 2025 team in Aleksas Bieliauskas from Lithuania and Braeden Carrington, a transfer from Tulsa.  Is Greg Gard done??  Should he get more??

In what can only be described as pure heartbreak, the Wisconsin Badgers basketball team and head coach Greg Gard are out of the NCAA tournament and fail to reach the sweet 16 yet again.   What many thought was going to be a failed season turned out to be pretty successful, especially the Badgers' best player, John Tonje.  We talk about what he leaves behind and the impact he had on this program.  

Where does Greg Gard go from here?  What does he need to get back to this point in a year?

The Womens Hockey team is playing for a National Title!  We react to that game.

Spring football is in full swing.  We focus in on the defensive line today and talk about how different that room looks to last year.  How BIG of an impact will the new size be up front?  Can the run defense be like the old school Badger teams?!?

An epic disaster of a final regular season game for Greg Gard and the Wisconsin Badgers basketball team.  After celebrating this deep class of seniors, the Badgers took a 40-27 lead...only to see it slip away in what can only be called a senior day meltdown.  How will this loss affect the Badgers going into next week's Big Ten Tournament and the NCAA Tourney right after that?  What's going on with John Tonje?  Has Steven Crowl quietly been the most consistent player of the season??  

We'll preview the Big Ten Tournament as well as talk about the Jackson Ball commitment

Plenty to dive into in football as well.  We'll get into some chatter about the 2026 class with some key official visits planned.

Spring football is right around the corner, so its time to talk more about Wisconsin Badgers football led by Head Coach Luke Fickell!  We begin our official spring previews by taking you through our predictions for the offensive depth chart.  What is our two deep and who is someone we want to see growth from in the Spring?

Greg Gard suffered a tough loss on the road to Michigan St, a team that proves to be a difficult win for the Badgers, especially with that tough defense! The 3 point shooting wasn't there, and Wisconsin paid the price for it.  Is the shooting a concern right now?  We break down our thoughts on the game.
