Greg Gard and the Wisconsin Basketball team put on quite the show to start off 2025 with a bang!  The Iowa Hawkeyes were torched by the Badgers in what turned out to be a record setting evening in Madison.  Led by John Blackwell and Nolan Winter, this Badger offense certainly can be lethal!! Can they build upon this victory and go on a run?  How high is the upside of this offense?

Jay'viar Suggs became the latest addition for Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers football team!  With yet another defensive line add, how good can this unit be?  Is it vastly improved or are we over-hyping the potential on that side of the ball?

JUST IN:  D'Yoni Hill, CB from Miami is Fickell's newest commit!

The Badger football team has a QB coach, but its not a new name...

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 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?
