  • Jesse Temple is the best

    Can’t believe the Athletic is pushing out arguably the best beat sportswriter in the country - Jesse Temple. Lame. No one has more passion for their coverage and it shows. He always does his homework. Jesse finds a way to tell it like it is but with grace and welcome insight. Major boneheaded move by the Athletic and makes me second guess them. Will likely not renew my subscription because of them pushing him out. Too bad,the Athletic was such a good idea at the start. Love Jesse's work here on ... more

  • Best Badgers Pod

    Jesse and Zach are excellent. Jesse clearly has great sources within the UW football program and is an outstanding storyteller. Zach is super insightful and has really sharp observations about the team that you don’t get anywhere else. Just a fun listen and I always learn something new.

Recapping practice 10, AP Top 25 released, listener questions
Q: Which quarterback is likely to be the starter on opening night?
The hosts suggest it's up in the air with multiple contenders, leaning toward the idea that the decision will depend on camp progression and readiness, with Deuce Adams and Ryan Hopkins both discussed as potential options depending on how the five-for-five rule is applied and how the backups perform.
Day 2 with Colton Joseph and the offense, a young DB standing out, listener questions
Q: Greg says, if you can only pick one player, most likely to have a breakout season, who would it be?
The hosts converge on Nick Clayton as a breakout candidate, noting his size, athleticism, and improvements in body composition as well as his early involvement with the first team and potential to seize a larger role at cornerback and in the dime package.
Wisconsin hires Shawn Eichorst as Athletic Director, Jim Polzin joins the show
Q: What impact might this hire have on Luke Fickell's future and the program's trajectory?
The hosts suggest it might not drastically alter Fickell's fate in the near term; the team must win on the field, and the AD's ability to lead and fundraise will shape perceptions and the longer-term decisions.

Q: What is the role of in-state recruiting in building Wisconsin's 2027 class?
In-state recruiting anchors the class, with a spark from Korslokin leading to a broader pipeline; Wisconsin emphasizes keeping Wisconsin-born players in-state while adding talented out-of-state players.
