Wisconsin losing 27-0 at home; yardage is 415 for Ohio State and 75 for Wisconsin. Imagine watching your team put up 75 yards at home.

I was worried they’d take our coach 2-3 years ago, but I honestly don’t care now.

Losing the 2017 Big 10 CCG ripped the soul out of the program.

Barry Alvarez was the only person who knew how to win at Wisconsin and ran the program like a mob boss.

He's no longer involved in the program.

Perhaps Wiscy should bring back someone with his mentality and how to play.

And Gary Andersen leaving after just 2 great seasons citing how difficult it was to recruit due to their admissions standards for athletes. No idea if that's still the case there or not.

Makes no sense. I was there in Madison in early September and their fans were really excited about their win over Middle Tennessee. They were really optimistic.

I see their loyal fans still show up though.


Even in the bottom of the Scott Frost years we still packed Memorial Stadium.

Just goes to show how random coaching is at different schools. Fickel seemed about as safe and one that would have success at his next stop as anyone.

Fickell trying to run the spread there has not worked. They need to be an I formation running team.

I don't see any way they can compete in the NIL era.

Are they known as an athletic program and alumni base that throws a lot of money around?

Turns out Luke Fickell is not only a COWARD that when trailing by Alabama 17-6 late in a Playoff Game that he thought it was better to be conservative and play for a respectable newspaper score BUT he is also a low IQ Moron that thought he could run the "dAIRy Raid" offense in Wisconsin.

Fickell now 0-8 against top 25 teams. That’s surprising he really seemed like one of the more proven hires.
