In fact they have been adding players so fast that sometimes media like this become outdated before they even get published! Today we look at the players who have been added so far and ask the questions about the roster that their addition might answer.

Before the transfer portal list gets any bigger, and hopefully it doesn’t over the holidays, I wanted to run through the Badgers who’ve entered and give my honest two cents. Some of these will be quick, because when you look at it from the film-room reality side, they just didn’t factor in much; others land in that space where message-board panic takes over and suddenly the sky is falling. My goal here is to balance cold analysis with the emotional reaction that always comes with portal news, because the truth is usually somewhere between “next man up” and “how will we ever recover.”If you have any questions for a future mailbag drop them here! https://forms.gle/apPmnHxZhhasBvJv6For more in depth content check out the Dairy Raid on Substack - https://dairyraid.substack.comFind audio-only versions on your favorite podcasting app, like Spotify and Apple Podcasts.For additional guidance and insights, follow my updates on Twitter: @thedairyraid#WisconsinFootball #WisconsinBadgers #FootballStrategy #FootballCoachingCopyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

The silly season has begun and the coaching staff has a lot of work to do to bring Wisconsin football back to the level that we as fans expect. Today we take a dive into the staff, the work they have done, and what work they have left to do. And while I would never advocate for the firing of a coach I can see what is plainly there and which coaches are not working at the level that is needed for this team to go forward.

Wisconsin high school coaches have spoken, but it’s what they said in the margins and between the criticisms that spoke the loudest about the future of in state recruiting and the Wisconsin football program. A youth movement has already started in Madison and it’s not just 2 stars from Peshtigo anymore.If you have any questions for a future mailbag drop them here! https://forms.gle/apPmnHxZhhasBvJv6For more in depth content check out the Dairy Raid on Substack - https://dairyraid.substack.comFind audio-only versions on your favorite podcasting app, like Spotify and Apple Podcasts.For additional guidance and insights, follow my updates on Twitter: @thedairyraid#WisconsinFootball #WisconsinBadgers #FootballStrategy #FootballCoaching

After a hard-fought loss to Oregon, Luke Fickell may have just bought himself more time in Madison. Despite numerous injuries and a tough road environment, Wisconsin showed grit and defensive progress that should quiet talk of a midseason firing. We break down why the “players don’t play hard” narrative is flat-out wrong, and why the locker room’s belief still matters. Plus, we dive into why Hunter Simmons continues to start, and what’s really going on with Danny O’Neil.

I never thought I’d see the day that Badger Nation would turn on Barry Alvarez, but after comments he made on his radio show the fan base and media alike are sharing their displeasure with The Don. Is it repressed memories of being scolded by our parents or the fact that he didn’t publicly agree with the #FireFickell movement? Whatever is it it fails to see the point that maybe Barry is right.
