Wisconsin Badgers Football at a Crossroads: The Way Back to the Top

Wisconsin football stands at a crossroads in 2025. After a rocky start under Luke Fickell, fans are asking the hard questions: where do the Badgers go from here, and what will it take to climb back on top of the Big Ten?

On today’s show, Justin Julka and special guest Ryan Harings break down the future of the program—what’s broken, what can still be fixed, and how Wisconsin can rebuild its identity. From quarterback struggles and offensive woes to defensive bright spots, recruiting battles, and the impact of NIL and the transfer portal, we’re covering it all.

This is the big-picture conversation Badger Nation needs right now: the path forward, the changes that must happen, and whether Luke Fickell is the man to lead Wisconsin back to national relevance.
