2025 Badger Football Thread

Badgers have their first addition from the transfer portal, Grand Valley State transfer defenisve lineman Jibriel Conde.

Badgers four wins are their fewest in a full season since 1995. Their eight losses are most since 1990, Alvarez's first year.

16 of UW's 21 losses in the last three seasons have been by double digits. UW suffered 17 double-digit losses in the previous 10 seasons combined

Now can UW retain talent? Nearly all there best players in the 2026 class have flipped and will any more. How many good players they have now enter the portal and leave. UW says they will spend more on NIL but how much more and will any good kid still want to come to a 4 win team in the portal?

Losing the axe always sucks. Losing it because Minnesota has better players and better coaching really sucks.

Embarrassing season

I give Fickell credit for one thing....
Players kept playing hard.

Beyond that I really don't know where to have any faith.

Defense was very good most of the year.

But this program IS NOT in a good place and it doesn't feel like it is close.

Here's a stat... Badgers' offense had 169 first downs this season, ranked last in all of D1 football. Very rarely does a staff return with these kinds of numbers. UW looks really dumb and complacent. Back to the 80's.

#Badgers football nugget: UW finished at 12.8 ppg. That is the lowest mark since the 1990 team finished at 12.1 ppg.

That is an eye opener. Unfortunately, the astronomical buyouts makes complacency more of the norm because of the financial hit

Yep, Seems you don't see many of these large buyouts only at big name schools with the big name coaches. Fickell agent did his job on that contract and got UW to way overpay in a buyout.

For Badger fans....food for thought: Your culture isn’t determined by your high standards. It’s determined by the lowest standard you are willing to accept or tolerate.
