If you’re concern is the Badgers might hire a coach who leaves for another job because he’s highly successful at Wisconsin you’re not really thinking about this right

Been biting my tongue because it will get me yelled at but Braelon Allen is not the next great Badger RB. He’s not bad, but he’s way more PJ Hill than he is Montee Ball. He can be productive, but if you’re looking for him to pull a JT vs Purdue 2018 this isn’t the guy.

If Fickell is able to pull a two-fer on the transfer QBs that’s the first concrete evidence of a step up in recruiting

Least favorite thing about this season is Keeanu had an all time great year at interior DL and it’s just diluted by the complete chaos that surrounded it. Will go down as a favorite Badger for me

Just want to give a huge shout out to all of the recruiting Reply Guys.
All of your likes, retweets, hashtags, waving Bucky GIFs, links to that 10+ year old Scott Van Pelt video about Madison, and praying hand emojis are what made today happen.
Thank you for your hard work. 🙏

Chez transferred in to be the starter and never complained or sulked when he was passed over by Allen. Good for him

Was making $380K at Minnesota. The question that I want answered that no one has been able to so far is tell me where they are getting this money all of the sudden. What changed from last year to this year.
There is no more “more with less”. This is “more with more”

Leo Chenal rightly gets a ton of credit, but the fact the Badgers have one of the best and deepest DLs they’ve ever had doesn’t get enough credit.
Those guys do so much that’s not on a stat sheet. Rodas Johnson is a rotational player but’s a starter just about any other years

Given how effective seeking a new offensive vision has been with QBs there’s no reason to think the staff can’t do the same with WRs

There’s no reason the Badgers can’t get a QB like Cam Rising. He isn’t really an NFL level prospect but can make enough throws and has enough mobility to be an effective part of a balanced offense.

Going to trip my realignment suggestion:
B1G should absorb all of the remaining PAC-12 teams and create an East/West division with the former P12 teams in the west.
Every year have the conference title game played on January 1 at a unique site…let’s say Pasadena.

By my math Badgers are over one scholarship going into portal season. This assumes Nelson & Allen to the NFL and no one taking an extra COVID year.
Interesting note: this season was the first year since at least 2010 that the Badgers didn’t have a walk on QB on the roster

With the addition of Walker the Badgers are currently at 87 scholarships for the fall. No predictions, but I have a hard time seeing this team carrying 8 scholarship RBs or 7 scholly TEs

Rodas saying it’s time to move on because he’s been to the KK and Wando’s enough is very, very relatable if I’m being honest.

1. Every throw across the hashes takes an hour to get there. Don’t know if it’s weather or injury but this is Mertz’s worst game of the year
2. Lean on Guerendo in the 2nd half. You’re not going to sustain drives and might as well give yourself the best chance for the home run

Why did this take 4 years for people to figure out?
James Thompson Jr. said TJ Bollers has been playing on the defensive line in bowl prep. Bollers transitioned late in the season. He had been a 270-pound outside linebacker.

@JimPolzinWSJ
My pushback: the hype right now isn’t around Evers as a player it’s around Fickell as a coach. We’ve been fed the mantra of “more with less” for decades. There is someone new in town who isn’t accepting that. That’s what has people excited, not another 4* QB

A lot of talk about a massive offensive transformation are overblown. A few years ago with Badgers ran 11 personnel more than anything else. They’ve run RPO out of the pistol this year. It’s a change, yes, but it’s not like they’re running the same offense from ‘99

Portal additions this year feel much more overtly about addressing shortcomings in personnel vs addressing a lack of personnel like last season.
