there is a better article at wisconsin state journal, but that is behind a paywall. here is some text from that article:

An on-field interaction between a UW-Madison Police officer and a Nebraska football assistant coach after Saturday's game was a "misunderstanding" that ended in an apology, a police spokesperson said.
Lt. Adam Boardman, one of the UWPD officers escorting University of Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell to the locker room amid fans rushing the field after a 44-25 Huskers victory, turned away to grab Nebraska offensive line coach Donovan Raiola by the arm, video posted to social media showed.

That followed an apparent exchange of words between Raiola and Fickell and Badgers assistant offensive line coach Casey Rabach, who were walking in opposite directions. The context of the discussion wasn't apparent from the video, but Fickell and Raiola both pointed at the other, and Rabach later pointed at Raiola.
Boardman and Raiola talked for about 15 seconds after Boardman pried Raiola away from a hug with Nebraska running backs coach EJ Barthel.

UWPD spokesperson Marc Lovicott said it was a "misunderstanding amid a pretty chaotic scene."
He said Boardman made contact with an "unknown individual who had approached" Badgers coaches as they were leaving the field.

"Once it was confirmed that the individual was a member of the Nebraska coaching staff, the UWPD officer apologized for the misunderstanding," Lovicott wrote in an email Tuesday. "The interaction concluded cordially with a handshake."

So I found this website, Our Lads .com:

2024 Wisconsin Badgers Football Depth Chart | Ourlads.com

The most respected source for NFL Draft info among NFL Fans, Media, and Scouts, plus accurate, up to date NFL Depth Charts, Practice Squads and Rosters.
www.ourlads.com www.ourlads.com

That has Wisconsin's depth chart.

Here's the thing that most perplexes me:

On Defense:
  • Regarding Defensive Line: it only lists Left Defensive Tackle and Right Defensive Tackle - 2 each - 4 (4 $#!%@EE$#!!!!)
  • Regarding Linebackers: Right Outside, Left Outside, Right Inside, Left Inside - 2 each, except for Right Outside with 3 - so 9 total
The B1G is still predominantly a running league. How the hell did Bucky's coaches think they could field a defense with a front like that in the B1G? @#%^#$^##$%#!!!!!

Teams are running over us:


How do we play tough against Oregon and Penn State and just get blown away and run over by Iowa and Nebraska - and god forbid probably Minnesota?

It just doesn't seem smart.

I get the cupboards were bare, but it looks like this is the scheme the coaches want to run. It looks like this is the scheme the coaches recruit to run.

So, it's not all the cupboards were bare - It's a hell of a lot, we didn't do very well restocking the cupboards.

I don't get it. *&#*^$*^@*@!!!!

well, i sincerely doubt you'll ever know exactly what was said. it was pretty chaotic on the field, so i doubt even the police officer heard the entire exchange.
 
So THIS is a huge red flag to me, Fick and UW have to understand that talent at the power 5 level has to be 2 deep and that speed kills at this level. The central high rah rah BS isn't going to win at this level. ( See Army/Notre Dame)

@TheBadgerNation

Luke Fickell: Talent doesn't just win football games. It's guys who play together and are complementary in what we are doing. We haven't done that today or in the last few weeks.
