Rivalries hit different when identity is on the line. We kick off our first Saturday show by tackling the number everyone keeps pointing at: Wisconsin’s low-ranked recruiting class. We unpack why NIL and the transfer portal change the scorecard, how late flips happened, and why the real issue is selling an offensive identity recruits can see on film. Short-term, it’s a portal-heavy plan to win now. Long-term, it’s bui...

We talk about the shift in energy around Luke Fickell, how a freshmen-led core is changing the Badgers’ identity, and what it will actually take to bring the Axe back from Minnesota. No slogans, just specifics: early-down con...

A week this bumpy deserves straight talk. We open with the Brewers and a simple truth: you can’t win October games by abandoning the thing that got you here. For months, Milwaukee thrived on patience, pressure, and situational hitting. Then came LA’s aces, and the chase crept in. We break down how disciplined at-bats—not moonshots—flip a series, why veteran presence matters in the box, and how a single Freeman swing a...

Nine points can feel like a shrug—until you zoom in on what changed. We break down how Green Bay controlled the Bengals without fireworks: Jordan Love’s efficient 19-of-26 with legs that moved chains, Josh Jacobs powering a flu-game burst behind an offensive line that finally looked whole, and special teams flipping the field with clean execution and real returns. We get specific about why Micah Parsons’ impact isn’t ...
