Jesus has he been hanging out with Fickell?

I love that they miked him up at practice this week and he said “it’s going to be boring, just me being out of breath”. Then they showed him running a route and immediately cut to him saying “I’m out breath again”

Which is a direct indictment of LF and his player evaluation skills since it’s been ”his” guys for 2 years, but I hope they finally turned the corner

I was worried LF was folding when he didn’t force PSU to punt before the half, but on rewatch it was probably not worth giving PSU time to decide to go. Like you said, it seems like he finally has a group that believes in the coaches & the coaches believe in them. I don’t think they did before

As someone who has publicly called both Fickell and his past UW teams quitters, I have to say I was impressed by him yesterday. He handled the clock well, the team fought thru the 2nd half, and Joseph looks like a real leader. It’s been so long, I literally don’t know what this feeling is lol

I almost turned it off when it got to 17-0. Don’t know how to feel tonight even lol

He understands the difference between Fox/CBS/NBC/ABC/CNN and the right wing upstarts better than any of his followers that only consume those. He doesn't just want the core to see and think about him, he wants everyone to be forced to think about him

They're probably not there yet, but new members for the club? We really should schedule a meeting at some point (Also, I hadn't seen that article but I had to go look as I hadn't had my daily rage induction yet lol)

Drew, is it good when the UW archives are posting like this on Instagram? Also I’d been avoiding his post game comments so I didn’t have to hear about how Fickell doesn’t know what the team’s identity is (one of his few jobs as you know) so thanks for including that & providing my rage for the day
An Instagram post from the UW archives that says: “Badgers, we hope you’re excited for the first home game of the season!

Will “Fire Fickell” be making another comeback this year? Some have faith in him…we doubt the student section does though. 

Honestly, being archivists, we’d much rather think about the past than the future. We miss you Barry Alvarez! 😢”

And I think it’s glossed over as not horrible bc people don’t link recruiting rankings to production/retention/development. The number of his recruits who never played seems really high to me, even in the portal era. I not convinced he can evaluate talent for fit or potential

MountainBadger @mtnbadger.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
This game was indistinguishable from almost every other loss under him. It’s amazing what Denbrock & Freeman did for him at Cincy. And he doesn’t have that since he insisted on hiring his buddy Tressel (who makes me angrier than LF tbh). But like you said I’m madder at myself than anything else
010
MountainBadger @mtnbadger.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Drew, it’s just mind boggling that nothing has changed in 4 years. No discipline, no plan, no identity. Can’t wait to hear the presser clip “we’ve got to find out identity and who we want to be”. Christ I hate myself for continuing to watch this shit

MountainBadger @mtnbadger.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
It just felt like Déjà vu to me. Almost every game in his tenure against a team with equal or better talent has been hanging tough for a half and getting blown out in the 2nd half. He and Tressel seem absolutely incapable of making any sort of in game adjustments or identifying their own weaknesses

I guess I don’t understand how NBC’s clock could be wrong when we have footage of the full play and it starts at 0:09 and is at 0:00 in the screenshot you showed. I assume replay didn’t run the whole play during the review, which is why they just released this clip. Seems like a B1G screw up still

I wonder if this is going to be a new trend. Wisconsin women’s soccer did theirs last Sunday before classes started

Also, I’m really interested to see what Champion can do. She’s young, but given the way people are talking about her and her experience, she could be a key piece. But man, I hope Auguste’s injury doesn’t linger all year. Wardlow looks almost unplayable at times, esp for a 2nd year player
010
MountainBadger @mtnbadger.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
I think a lot of it is an age/experience thing as they look a step slow and are not adjusting to where the attacks are going, but Wardlow/Tarnow/Auguste are absolutely not the physical presence of Booth/Smrek/Rettke. They’ve got to get better fundamentally

MountainBadger @mtnbadger.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
I think the trial by fire will pay off later in the season but man they need to get the middles to improve defensively. Something that was a no question strength for 5+ seasons has been BAD bad this year so far

I took me until the 3rd quarter to realize scores/schedule were in the top right corner and that they hadn’t just gotten rid of it completely lol. Fabulous user experience

I know it wasn’t a UW tournament, but it seemed like such an odd scheduling decision to have Wisconsin finish Saturday afternoon to me. Maybe Sheffield wanted that but it has to impact in arena attendance/interest

MountainBadger @mtnbadger.bsky.social · 11/08/2026
The PR by local gvmts gives away that this is the problem. Here, all they care about here is announcing "new units". So local gvmt incentivizes building "affordable" housing at 120% of local AGI, builders offer studio apartments at $1800/mth to comply, & no one is building starter homes.

Even the basic premise that flying is worse is totally made up! You could smoke on a plane until 1996! Security was easier but it wasn't fool proof. We got held up & almost missed a flight at O'Hare in like 1990 bc I had my NES system with the Duck Hunt gun & they couldn't understand it wasn't real

No, they don’t have a hand/parking/e brake. Autopilot/FSD can be disengaged by pulling back on the drive stalk or pressing the brake pedal, just like cruise control in other cars.

Bizarre to admit that they didn't set up any of the supposed support systems until after the ruling on Monday. Kind of undercuts the "we only care about his wellbeing" message

Seeing as how 238 is right where BMI for someone 6’3” goes to overweight from obese, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he’s been 238 or less since he was reported as obese at 243 in 2019

They can be unusually aggressive. I worked in a neighborhood where they had to put up signs telling people not to get out of their cars bc a flock attacked a senior citizen trying to shoo them off the road

I wonder how much of this stupid shit from him is because he didn't get to build his Jared Polis Memorial Bridge so now he just needs attention

When he was running for governor, I met a congressperson and their spouse from another state and in addition to not having a single good thing to say about Polis, the spouse called him the worst dressed person in DC. I’ll never forget their obvious disdain for him

I played a lot of Starcraft in the late 90s and was a part of a clan on Battle.net. Somehow we got a bunch of t-shirts from Blizzard and other so I gave the guy our address (a PO Box) to send them to. My mom freaked out and was convinced someone was going to show up and try to kidnap me lol

These posts are emotional manipulation. There were a few in the last couple of weeks about Fickell and each time I got my hopes up that he was either fired or quit
