Wisconsin is a 33.5-point underdog at Oregon. You read that right (and still not sure they'll cover). #Badgers

It's not the football program's fault, it's you, the donors. We need more money. Oh, and keep rooting and supporting our poor product. - Chris McIntosh

(my paraphrasing of his letter to fans)

Ouch.

Identity crisis After Wisconsin’s latest uber-humbling loss – 37-0 at home to Iowa – I saw a quote from Christian Alliegro in which the linebacker said the Badgers “have no identity.”

What's wrong with the #Badgers? Plenty. But it's easy to pinpoint the main culprit.

What a complete and total disaster. OK, now I'm really leaving.

*ties him for ...

That was Ricardo Hallman's 9th career interception, which ties with for 9th on the #Badgers all-time list.

That ranks up there with one of the worst throws/interceptions I've seen.

Not upset I have plans and will be out of here soon. I'll give you a have a great rest of your night now.

That was incredible. I mean, incredibly bad. What a poor pass and poor decision. Ouch.

#Badgers have thrown an interception in all six games. Last year had a streak of eight straight. Also had an eight-game streak in 2017.

Under Luck Fickell, the #Badgers are 4-9 when the opponent scores first.

4th&1 punt from near midfield. Welcome to Wisconsin-Iowa.

Glad I stayed up. Fun game. Got to love baseball.

#Badgers opened as 2.5-point underdog vs. Iowa and now it's 3.5.

This sounds crazy but the #Badgers haven't had a 100-yard rusher in nearly a full year - since Oct. 19, 2024 (Tawee Walker at Northwestern). The last 100-yard rusher in Madison was almost exactly 2 years ago (Braelon Allen, Oct. 7 vs. Rutgers). RBU has fallen off a cliff.

Have a great rest of your afternoon.

Under Luke Fickell, #Badgers are 2-11 (0-2 in 2025) when trailing after the third quarter. Also FWIW Fickell is 0-7 vs. top-25 teams at Wisconsin.

What happened to that opening-drive #Badgers offense?

Simmons 9-12, 84 yds, 133.8 rating

Jones 14 rush, 55 yds, TD

Anthony 4 rec., 43 yds

#Badgers

Under Luke Fickell, the #Badgers are 3-9 (0-2 in 2025) when trailing at the half.

Looks like a horrible spot

Michigan had 54 yards rushing on the opening drive, which is already the third-highest total allowed in a game by the #Badgers this season.

Then about as bad an opening defensive series you can have. #Badgers

Touchdown-commercial-kickoff-commercial. #WeeklyPost

As good a first drive as you could ask by #Badgers. Run game looked probably best all year and drew up easy throws for Hunter Simmons. Dilin Jones already with 34 yards rushing, already his 3rd-highest total on the year (and just two behind No. 2).

Two memories from being at "The Big House": 1. It was the quietest, largest stadium I've been to (if that makes sense); 2. First time I saw fans with seats in a press box
