  1. The problem is that it takes at least three years to do that. Fickell is on year three, and his recruiting classes (which have been very good) are true freshmen and redshirt freshmen/true sophomores. Very few players are left from 3-4 years ago. Chryst's last two recruiting classes were a half-hearted effort at best. He only brought in 6 OL total in his last three classes, only 3 DL, and the QBs in his last three classes (Cole Lacrue, Myles Burkett, Deacon Hill, and nobody in 2020) aren't on any P-4 teams if not even FBS. The transfers brought in were mostly seniors and gone after a year or two.
  2. If you follow Badgers football, go back and read the game threads from the last two years when many fans were calling for them to put in a backup true freshman at QB because the starter wasn't doing well.
  3. Last night was probably the best possible way to lose. Get dominated for 8 innings... only to show them that it's a 9-inning game. Totally mind-mess with them that no matter how well they are doing, it's not over until it's over.
  4. Or they could have listened to me. In my mock that year I had Amon-Ra St. Brown.
  5. Just need a patented Wild Bill line drive to the right center gap wall.
  6. A tweet went out saying that Adidas drove the James Franklin firing at PSU, but PSU is denying that.
  7. 1) No, they don't B) It's also about whether they have similar financial resources to have similar standards. No, they don't there either.. Penn State draws roughly 25K-30K more fans per game. Ballparking at $100/fan/game, that's $2.5M - $3M more revenue per game, or about $17.5M - $21M more revenue per year. That's why they can fire him so easily.
  8. The more I think about it, the more that Penn State OC Andy Kotelnicki makes the most sense if/assuming they are going to make a change: Wisconsin ties (UW-River Falls alumn) Knows the Big Ten Can bring a boatload of talented players/recruits with him (I assume a lot of players aren't happy about canning Franklin and will be looking to leave, and also assuming that NIL won't be an issue for bringing in transferring players) It's going to likely take a long time and a lot of money to get back to a winning program, the possible exception being if a HC can bring a lot of talent with him right away. That's the advantage that Kotelnicki has over other candidates - relationships with Penn State players/recruits.
  9. I wonder if the Saints are open for business. They have two veteran DT in Davon Godchaux and Nathan Shepherd who could help with the interior run defense. That, or Harrison Phillips from the Jets. Maybe one of them could be had straight up for Warren Brinson.
  10. Not really. The buyout is paid monthly through March of 2032 at about $330K/mo or a little over $4M/year. That will be offset by any salary he earns at the FBS or NFL level. So, assume he gets a MAC-level HC job (like a Toledo or Central Michigan), those pay a little over $1M/year so the buyout would be reduced to about $3M/year. They're getting $70M/year from the TV contract, so they can move some budget items around to find $4M/year.
  11. https://uwbadgers.com/sports/football/roster/staff/marcus-sedberry/983
  12. 24/7 does not have it as a good class. Nobody outside of their top 5 has committed to a P4 program except for Wenzel who committed to UW, their #2 might have to go to JUCO, and UW has better WRs than their #4. Meier is really the only one they may have missed on, but he might not have wanted to come to a situation where he is behind 9 OL recruits in the two classes ahead of them.
  13. The thing with hiring head coaches now is that the game has evolved where the head coach needs to be more like a CEO and between NIL/transfer portal/recruiting your own players to stay they just don't have the capacity to also have OC/DC duties. It's about who the coach can bring with them as far as coordinators.
  14. 4-21 against top 10-teams 1-18 against Big Ten top-10 teams My guess is that they'll purge the whole staff and hire externally... making UW-River Falls alum Andy Kotelnicki available. If you want a guy who knows the state of WI, Kotelnicki fits the bill. Interesting nugget about him: Over the last 10 seasons as an offensive coordinator in the FBS, offenses led by Kotelnicki rank first nationally in lowest sack percentage (3.9), lowest tackle for loss percentage (7.9) and margin of error percentage (9.7), which factors in sacks, tackles for loss, interceptions and fumbles.
  15. 1) Priester 2) Opener-Miz-Patrick 3) Peralta 4) Quintana 5) Priester 6) Opener-Miz-Patrick 7) Peralta Bullpen/piggyback games are at home and before/after off days in case they need to use a lot of pitchers.
  16. Brewers vs. Dodgers. Ultimate David vs Goliath. Hopefully the fans of every NL team outside of LA and Chicago are joining the Brewers army.
  17. If Uecker is indeed up there calling the shots, you know that it's going to be an epic story.
  18. When a player comes off the field with an obvious concussion after a hit, how is there not some sort of targeting? It clearly looked like the Iowa defender gave him a forearm to the head.
  19. Mike Greenwell passes away at age 62. Had huge shoes to fill, and he filled them well. Career .831 OPS and .303 BA. In 5,166 career plate appearances struck out only 364 times (to 460 walks). Injuries took their toll and he retired at age 33.
  20. They're sitting at 2-4, 0-3 in conference, with #22 Iowa State coming to town (who I've never been sold on as a top-25 team and last week showed why, but still). According to 24/7, their 2023 transfer rank was #1, 2024 transfer rank was #8, and their 2025 transfer rank was #19. (They've also had top-25 freshman recruiting classes three years in a row.) Great transfer classes aren't a sure thing for success. 1-8 in games against top-25 teams with the one win coming against a TCU team the first game of 2023... who then went on to have a 5-7 season. So really, winless against every good team they played.
