@AdamKinzinger I appreciate what a man of principle you are. That wasn’t new to me, but was further exemplified here. I hope we see you in office again - when rationality takes back over.

I'll be honest, making the documentary The Last Republican was a gamble. But I couldn't stay silent. Some things matter more than politics. Watch The Last Republican for free on my YouTube page.

@THEbadgermaniac Yes…shot show on average for the season. Suspect it would be significantly higher based on last 4 games (young guys experience, some consistency, restored depth…). That needs to be part of the assessment.

#17 out of 18 teams for this once proud unit. The need at QB is real of course, but we cannot understate the need for significant improvement from the OL or this offense has no chance.

@ZachHeilprin @The_Camp_WI Let’s assume we get a Pribula level QB in portal. Are we feeling pretty good with C smith as our QB2 in 2026? Is that the beginning of end of the portal QB hamster wheel?
English
@ZachHeilprin @The_Camp_WI Great win and effort. How do you explain the extreme highs and lows from the past few seasons? (i.e. - Iowa & Ill in 2025; solid effort mid 2024 then complete collapse late season). Difficult to interpret this as anything but a coaching issue.
English
@THEbadgermaniac The coaches got a lot of flack, and rightly so, for the early season Oline incompetent. But, I think they need to get some credit for pulling it (Oline) together over the past few weeks, even in the face of more injuries.
English
Also wanted to give a shoutout to the OL. No, they weren't great, but considering the Badgers were not threat to even complete a pass and were facing a top 20 run D playing an 8-9 man box, there were more than a few credible runs where they were able to move people.
English
Seems there is something systemic going on - lots of changes and presumed improvements in the O coaching staff, but the results just go from bad to worse. I appreciate that we can point to “lots of changes” as cause, but in that you should see some signs of hope.
English
@ZachHeilprin Grimes has produced in other places and everyone thought he was a great fit here. I don’t see him called out for this O disaster. Am I missing it, or is he being given a pass and if so why?

@THEbadgermaniac I generally agree, but most felt at the time that this was a great hire. Even those that thought the choice should be JL agree this was the next best thing.

This is the world of Chris McIntosh. Labeling this as anything but a catastrophic blunder (to this point) not only in UW history, but in college athletics history, would be considered grossly erroneous.
English
Think of the level of mismanagement it takes to fire (or not hire) a successful coach, 100% loyal to your university (and willing to work below market value), and hire a coach that not only tanks success, but also with a buyout/salary so high that it is impossible to move on?
English
@THEbadgermaniac Makes me wonder how the hell he did what he did at Cincinnati.
English
Right now...that is as far from Wisconsin as you can get.
English
Coaching is all about decisions. Things will never always work out, even with the right decisions, but Fickell/staff has made wrong decision after wrong decision. Choices of which players to run off the team. Which transfer to bring in. Choice of OC/direction of offense.

@benkellyone I’d like to learn how I can work with you. Can you DM me with details?

@ZachHeilprin question: seems more Fr / RS Fr are challenging for 2 deep roles than we’ve seen the last couple years. ( I think?) Has there been some change in recruitment philosophy and / or development? Or, has luck just shifted in the staff’s direction?
English
@ZachHeilprin an interesting camp topic would be how you’re feeling about each position group (better / same / weaker) as they end camp 2025 vs end of camp 2024 (as best possible w/out actual game insight). Would help me better sort out hype / reality.

@BadgerMBB @UWMadison Congrats to these fine men. On a side note, is no one concerned that Max is wearing a boot?!

@MattLepay I have a similar “headquarters” - good for you and well deserved!

@ZachHeilprin @TheSwing_WI Arguably the best of The Swing and The Camp podcasts you’ve done. Great questions and dialog. It also helps having an open, honest, and thought-full guest.

New episode of @TheSwing_WI with #Badgers coach Greg Gard joining us. What he likes so much about this team, how he's evolved as a coach, the challenge of trying to retain players in the current environment and much more.
