It’s a holiday-themed Badger check-in with plenty to unpack. We start with a fun but honest question: if you could give Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin football staff one present this offseason, what would it be? More players? Scheme tweaks? Talent upgrades?

We also react to a heartbreaking loss for Wisconsin volleyball — while taking time to appreciate and celebrate what was still an outstanding season and one of the premier programs in the country. Plus, we touch on another tough night for Wisconsin basketball and where things stand as the season continues.

A mix of perspective, frustration, and appreciation — all in one show.

The Nebraska loss wasn’t pretty, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. In this Rajeev’s Corner, I dive into why I’m not panicking about Greg Gard, what context matters most right now, and why I still believe this Wisconsin basketball team can steady itself and move forward.

Badger volleyball is headed to the Final Four, delivering one of the program’s biggest moments of the season. At the same time, Wisconsin basketball suffered a brutal loss that raises real questions moving forward. And in football, the transfer portal news keeps coming, reshaping conversations around the roster and the direction of the program.

In tonight’s show, we break down all three storylines — what the volleyball run means, what went wrong for basketball, and how the latest football transfer developments impact Wisconsin heading into the offseason.

College football is changing fast. In this episode of Rajeev’s Corner, I dive into what the transfer portal is doing to the sport, what loyalty really means now, and whether “once a Badger, always a Badger” still holds up. I also touch on the current playoff picture and why I just can't get on board with Indiana!!

Wisconsin football enters a defining transfer portal offseason, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. On this episode of The Bucky Report, we go position by position through every major portal need for the Badgers in 2025 — breaking down how many players are needed at each spot, the types of athletes Wisconsin must target, and what it will take on the field to be successful next season.

But the biggest question looms over everything: will Wisconsin actually spend the way athletic director Chris McIntosh has promised? This show centers on whether the Badgers are truly prepared to go all in with NIL, revenue sharing, and roster investment — or if this is another offseason of talk without results.

If you care about Wisconsin football recruiting, transfer portal strategy, NIL spending, roster construction, and the future of the Luke Fickell era, this is the most important Badgers show of the offseason.

Wisconsin fans just suffered one of the toughest weekends in recent memory. The Badgers closed the football season with a brutal loss to Minnesota in the Axe Game — a performance defined by stalled offense, missed opportunities, and more questions about the program’s direction under Luke Fickell. And on Friday, the basketball team led off with a frustrating letdown against TCU, raising real concerns about consistency, shot creation, and defensive identity.

Tonight, Rajeev and Justin break down what went wrong in Minneapolis and what this loss says about the state of the program. We’ll also dig into the TCU loss, what it exposed about this Badger basketball roster, and whether this team can steady itself heading into conference play.

If you’re frustrated, confused, or just looking for answers — this is the show.
