We previewed Wisconsin’s opponents last week, but there are a couple of quirks with this year's schedule worth talking about. Question: Why do the Badgers have 2 bye weeks in 2024?

There are 41 total Bowl Games with 82 spots available. Yes, certain conferences have tie-ins to certain bowls, But 82 is the number that matters. Teams can play in bowls not associated with their conference to make everything work. They just need 82 teams that have 6+ wins. If all...

Usually, a coach gets fired mid-season after an embarrassing loss or a train wreck string of ineptitude and obvious regression. But something strange happened last Saturday. 2 SEC teams played; the score was 51-10, and both coaches were fired following the game. Put another way: Texas A&M beat Mississippi State 51-10...

A Pac-12 Elimination Game, A Possible Upset in the Big 12, and An ACC Matchup with Title Implications. It’s not the greatest college football weekend if we're being honest here. I’ll be watching games, but there is no national needle mover like OSU-PSU or Bama-Texas. In a normal year that game...

A Resilient Road Comeback. An OG Braelon Performance. Madison’s Super Bowl Saturday. It feels better to be a Badger fan right now than it has in a long long time. Going into the 2021 season felt kinda like this, but Wisco was 1-3 by week 4. 2019 felt like this...

Mordecai went down. The defense gave up only 13, but the offense couldn’t score. Wisconsin is way behind schedule in Fickell’s year 1. Fickell’s first season as HC had 1 very clear and attainable goal. Win the division in the last year of its existence, and build on that success...

Still undefeated all time vs. Rutgers. The first team to 15 points wins this week. Mordecai can run now? The Badgers play the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday. It’s easily the most important game of the season. I know they play Ohio State too, but no one is expecting Fickell to win...

What’s a Peacock? Iowa won with Wisco’s leftovers. Rutgers for Homecoming, maybe not my first choice. Watch out Rutgers, this Wisconsin team had an extra week to prepare and isn’t satisfied with their results so far. They may be itching to make an example of someone. And Badgers, this isn’t the...
