I made it a point to carefully read the Ross Dellenger article at Yahoo Sports concerning the Power 4 conferences 'solution' to athletic compensation and, yikes! I have a hard time believing this will hold up when the inevitable litigation occurs. Who represents the athletes' interests, Delloite? Nope, they're employed by the conferences. Will the 'investigator' have subpoena power? Will the investigator be able to bind people under oath? Who will bring charges against alleged perpetrators and vet the veracity of said charges? Do defendants have the right to countersue for damages if they can prove the allegations were made in bad faith or are found innocent? The whole thing feels like a half-baked attempt to move the problem of collegiate athletic compensation out of the courts and into a backroom somewhere beyond public scrutiny.

I remember everyone being excited about Phil Longo and what he said he was going to do when he got here. The proof will be in the pudding. Need to see what happens on the field. Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me.

Great interview guys! Give these guys a thumbs up and a subscribe!!

People need to put down the Kool-Aid on Coach Grimes. There is a reason he has bounced around since BYU and that KS fans were thrilled to see him go.

Coach Grimes will do 2 vital things to help UW's offense improve drastically: 1. Marry the run and pass game. UW will always have more size than speed, which lends itself to running the ball. But if you can create deception and conflict for the defense by making your run and pass game look same-as, especially with some interesting motions and formations, it should create more open receivers and explosive plays. 2. Adapt to personnel It seems like a no-brainer to adapt to what your players do best. But it's surprising how many coaches just want to run their offense regardless of the type of players they have.

I gotta give it to Gilmore. I would watch and wonder how this guy was even a D1 player. Now I watch him get in the game and look forward to his 3s. Also he never even used to look at the basket look how far he has come.

Top Wisconsin recruiter Max Steinikker is gone to USC!!! $how me the money.

The Camp just dropped so obviously there won’t be any big news today. Btw, anyone check in on Max S, so glad he is out recruiting guru.

Absolutely loved his expansive answer to feeling pressure! Thoughtful and insightful. The real deal!

Please be our savior Jeff 🙏 you’ll go down as an all timer if you can mesh the pass and run game for us

Great “get” getting the new OC on. Good job.

Zzzzz

Grimes bringing over the tight end is huge. I guy who can bring in talent is huge.

Boring

It’s crazy to me they took Carter’s scholarship…. Don’t give a damn if he makes it back in NIL. Give that man a scholarship.

I remember when Tonje commited, and a Mizzou fan told me he wasnt any good.😂😂😂

Happy Gilmore, Happy Badgers. But this final 10 game stretch will not be easy. Badgers will need a lot more out of Gilmore and others when several players disappear as they did vs NW. This team could easily finish 4-6 or worse down the stretch if they dont get it it going. Or they could go 8-2 if they play up to their potential and make a run to the Sweet 16. But last 2 games they have slowed down just enough to allow defenses to get set on them and take them out of their offense. That to me is a red flag.

I think it’s time to stop talking about Storr. Focus on this team. You sound like a bitter ex

Great interview!

Micah Potter would have been.

In the ncaa tourney it will all depend on how the damn refs call the games. Feels like they should make the sweet 16 this year for a change.

I have no clue what ken poms "adjusted tempo" even means?? Maybe you can explain. 151 makes zero sense!!

Gard made S16 his first 2 years...

The "lack of respect" from the national media (currently) comes from things like an ESPN article last week listing the TOP 15 candidates (including like 10 additional honorable mentions) for COY and Greg Gard wasn't even mentioned😴🤔😆.

Good UW transfers: Jon Bryant, Zach Morley, Sharif Chambliss, Clayton Hanson, Micah Potter, Max Klesmit, Kamari McGee, AJ Storr, John Tonje

I think all of our guys could use a ball control camp with The Professor.

Is Tonje good enough to be a bench player in the NBA?

After three years as a benchwarmer / role player at BC, Paul Grant was so great in his one season at UW in 1997 he was the 20th pick in NBA draft.

amos needs to watch rodman vids on repeat to get more physical. he is my hope for rebounds if he continues to develop. the dude is a specimen

U nailed Daniel spot on Jesse. It "feels" like he stays & works on his game but only Dan knows that. Hope so cuz he looks great in Badger Red!!

Obviously, got terrible advice or not smart enough to play 4 us with decision making like that.

U should have understood how good Kmari was gonna b when his injury last yr caused the Feb swoon. When did the ship get right? On his return... U should know we're gonna content 4 title & 2xbye spot cuz that's how we roll 4 past 25yrs. Why doesn't it get noticed cuz we're not a sexy blue blood & consistency doesn't create clickbait. 4th or higher if u don't say yes ur a slow learner. Why in the stupid axe clickbait heck does any1 care about imaginary seeding in Jan lets talk a/b actual upcoming games.

Luv CE3 but NE move was best. Who would go to the bench 4 him to get minutes? Max or Kamari r only candidates, clearly a net loss 4 us. Heck we wouldn't take AJ Storr vs Tonje. Micah Potter & Paul Grant in convo but not Tonje at the top.

Team gotta do all they can to get to Milwaukee for first two rounds. Would be huge boost to try and get to S16

How does that Bosnian kid look at Indiana and look at UW and pick Indiana? Mustve gotten some serious bag

Why even discuss the talk of winning 8 or 9 games? Might as well talk about alien abduction at halftime🤣. There's zero chance of that happening.

What if they went 3-9 or worse and just look bad would they get him fired or is he just safe because of the buyout?

A lot of the portal transfer guys look good on paper, where have I heard that before and many of them look like big gambles to me trying to step up to this level of play. I remember everyone raving about the linebacker portal transfers from the year before. How did that work out? I just will repeat what I have said in previous posts, I have been burnt by this hype to much in the past to get real excited and now I just take a wait and see attitude. Got to see them on the field against good competition.

If Grimes style fits more in what Fickell wants then why in the world did Fickell hire Longo in the first place? I don't pay much attention to this coach speak when they talk about the offense or defense they are going to run. All sounds so great when they talk about it doesn't it. The proof in the pudding will be seeing it on the field. I remember everyone was so fired up when Longo was hired and we were going to open things up with the "Air Raid" When I hear people say we are going to now run a pro style offense what does that actually mean? I know we want to establish the run more but I don't want to go back to the Paul Chryst predictable type of offense where you can't pass the ball and try to run against 8 or 9 men in the box and basically only pass if it is 3rd and long. That isn't going to get us where we want to go and that kind of offense is not a pro style offense IMO. Statistically speaking hopefully the run pass ratio is something like 55/45 in favor of the run. You guys were talking about if you can't run the ball your dead but against the good teams you better be able to pass the ball too or you will be dead because those good teams will likely shut down your running game if that is all you can do. One other thing I hope our two minute offense doesn't revert back to the Paul Chryst days. I have seen glaciers move faster than our offense did. Drove me nuts that they looked liked they had never practiced running a two minute offense. Took them forever to get off plays.

I swear, it seems like they hate each other lol

I'm on Team Jesse on this one.

Like to know if the qb offer for the Capistrano Catholic high school in SoCal for 2026 is still good and if so what you guys think of him and his Jr year highlights….

Zach, every one of your listeners knew exactly what you were asking except one - Jesse 😂😂

Well this year Jessie is right with the schedule thats a dumb question. The best Fick could do is probably 8-4 and that is not raise worthy. He hasnt earned what he has made the last two years.......and we are talking raise. If he keeps his job and salary thats enough for this year! I doubt he gets fired after this year because of the buy out. Although anything under 4-8 would have to be probable. Realistically i'm looking at 7-5.

Fickell came in with too much dip on his chip and these hires show that he’s recognized that and is adjusting!!!! We have a chance to surprise a lot of people next year if everyone locks in!!!

I agree with Jesse. Fickell isn't going to get any "bonuses" unless he makes the playoffs.

Meh, if you can't pass....you can't run against good teams. That's what MI did in the pre-Harbaugh era. I remember watching Ron Dayne go nowhere because they knew we couldn't pass to save our a$$.

As a result of Jesse’s fine reporting I subscribed to “The Athletic”.

They need contracts, a Commissioner, structure, collective bargaining maybe, etc. That way, things are nailed down and there is a template. Can’t operate as a major college sports program or coaching/program without it. Without it, it will fall apart and it won’t be pretty.

You are making incorrect statements regarding Miami as "evidence of tampering." That's not what stated by Wisconsin. They said, "We have INFORMATION of Miami tampering." That's not evidence. That is hearsay likely made up to scapegoat Miami for Wisconsin's illegal actions of violating the NCAA bylaws of the transfer portal. The silly thing is Wisconsin was ignorant and arrogant. The transfer portal exists for student athletes to put other schools on notice that they wish to transfer. The transfer portal is NOT the mechanism for actually transferring. Student athletes are students first. No athlete can compete in collegiate sports without being a student. The mechanism for transferring to a different school is the same for any student. Wisconsin could not prevent Lucas from transferring even if their agreement was deemed legally binding (it is not). The ONLY thing Wisconsin could get from a binding legal contract is money damages. So,j moving forward, student athletes could still transfer just like any other student. They may be liable for financial damages. That it.
