We discuss the Wisconsin Badgers football coaching search, who makes the most sense between Jim Leonhard, Dave Aranda, Matt Rhule and Lance Leipold. We start by ranking the candidates, why this is Jim Leonhard's job to lose but why he can actually lose it. I talk a little bit about Matt Rhule and why his NFL failures don't matter to me at all. I talk about Dave Aranda and why in some ways he makes more sense than Jim Leonhard, he's done a lot of the same defensive coordinator magic, but he's also shown the ability to be a successful head coach and has more recruiting experience than Leonhard. Finally I talk about Lance Leipold and how much of a negative his age is ? Would it matter ? Why he makes so much sense as the only candidate on the list to have built sustained success as a head coach.

Wisconsin Badgers football recruiting talk, we discuss the current 2023 class. Where does the Badgers class rank nationally and who are the three players that I think are most underrated ? I talk about Jamel Howard and why he's the perfect Keanu Benton replacement, Tyler Jansey and why he's a prototypical linebacker and Trech Kekahuna who the Badgers will need to fight to keep. I talk about what in the world the Badgers are doing at the QB position and why they need to get some offers out to Cole LaCrue or Parker Leise -- its probably going to need to be a two-QB class anyway with the state of the current Badgers depth chart. Finally on Locked On Badgers we discuss some key and surprising basketball recruiting news and which positions the Badgers need to address in this recruiting cycle - at a minimum what do they need to do ?

The Wisconsin Badgers football team needs at least 3 more wins to become bowl eligible, will they get there ? We start by talking about why making a bowl game really matters this year for a young team being able to get extra practices. We discuss the Badgers crazy long bowl streak, and why its important to keep it going. We also talk about the bowl game providing some momentum going into the off-season. Next we take a look at the remaining games, and why its so hard to pick which ones the Badgers might win. We discuss the floor and ceiling for the rest of the year and which teams are most likely to give the Badgers some issues. Finally on Locked On Badgers we talk about goals for the rest of the year outside of making a bowl. Specifically beat Minnesota and Iowa - why getting the axe back is a big deal for an important group of seniors. We also talk about the importance of getting reps for younger players and how the rest of the year can play a big part in which coaches are kept on staff.
