Bo Ryan was a coach who stuck to the old-school approach of basketball, and boy did it work. Whether he was at UW-Platteville, UW-Milwaukee or UW-Madison, his players bought in, and he was rewarded with plenty of success. While Bo has been a member of the Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame for quite some time, this year, he finally received his call from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. He may not have been the most fun to watch, with his methodical approach to both sides of the ball. For those who recognize the importance of fundamentals and development,…

Many questions were asked of the Green Bay Packers after last week’s disappointing loss to the Denver Broncos. This week, after being dominated for a full 60 minutes against the rival Minnesota Vikings, it is abundantly clear that big changes are needed right now in Green Bay. With the 24-10 loss in this Vikings vs Packers matchup, Matt LaFleur’s offense has now gone five straight games without scoring more than 20 points. Once again, Love tried to force too many throws he had no business making, and the offensive line was just as putrid as before. Whether the Packers want…

This Wisconsin football game vs Ohio State was expected to be an uphill battle for the Badgers all night long. The Ohio State Buckeyes came into the game as 14.5-point favorites, but they struggled to pull away for most of the game. Although the Badgers’ defense kept the Buckeyes in check for most of the game, the lack of offensive output, especially after the Braelon Allen injury, eventually came back to bite them. After the Wisconsin Badgers tied the game up at 10 with a touchdown pass to Will Pauling in the third quarter, the Badgers amassed just 81 offensive…

In NFL Week 7, the Green Bay Packers were given a perfect opportunity to bounce back after an embarrassing loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. With running back Aaron Jones back in the fold offensively, Packers fans hoped to see the offense start to put up some points again against one of the weakest defenses in the NFL. Instead, the offense was putrid, at best, for three quarters under Jordan Love. With the 19-17 loss in this Packers vs Broncos matchup, the questions surrounding Matt LaFleur and this offense will only amplify. Through six games, Green Bay has scored more than 20…

This Wisconsin football game vs Illinois was expected to be a slugfest with a Fighting Illini team that slaughtered the Badgers in Camp Randall last year. It looked hairy early on, as the Badgers fell behind 21-7. The defense struggled to contain the quarterback scramble and the offense couldn’t get anything going. Everything changed in the fourth quarter when the Badgers scored 18 points unanswered. Braedyn Locke made numerous big-time throws late when the Badgers needed it most, and Wisconsin pulled out the win with a Nolan Rucci touchdown reception with 27 seconds left. Big 4th Quarter Fuels Wisconsin Football…

While the Iowa vs Wisconsin football game was expected to be low-scoring, few expected as many offensive struggles as were shown. Injuries headlined the offensive struggles on both sides. For Iowa, losing tight end Erick All meant losing their top receiver. On the Wisconsin side, the Tanner Mordecai injury meant freshman Braedyn Locke had to lead the Badger offense against a terrific Hawkeye defense. They say the football gods punish teams who pass up free points. Following an 81-yard first drive that ended in no points, the Wisconsin football team struggled the move the ball the rest of the day.…

Although the offense struggled at times, the Wisconsin Badgers defense made a statement in their recent 24-13 victory over Rutgers. With the win, the Wisconsin football team remains undefeated in Big Ten play prior to this week’s Iowa vs Wisconsin college football matchup. For as shaky as the start has been for the Wisconsin football program, they find themselves as the only Big Ten West team still undefeated in conference play. With Iowa being the only team in the Big Ten West division with just one loss, a win would put the Badgers in a fantastic position to win the…

In NFL Week 5, the Green Bay Packers were given a perfect opportunity to bounce back after an embarrassing loss to the Detroit Lions. With running back Aaron Jones out again due to injury, the Packers offense again looked completely anemic. Green Bay’s defense held the Las Vegas Raiders in check on the scoreboard, but the defensive philosophy of Joe Barry looked questionable yet again in big situations. In all, Green Bay came up short in the Packers vs Raiders matchup, 17-13. With the loss, the questions surrounding Matt LaFleur and Joe Barry continue to swirl. The offense has not…

The Wisconsin football team had a big test waiting for them in Madison with their first home Big Ten football game coming against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Although they were beaten down by Michigan earlier this year, Rutgers came in sporting an impressive defense and an offense that took care of the ball. It was a slow start to the game, but a Ricardo Hallman pick-six with just four seconds left in the first half changed the game around completely. Instead of going into the half with a slim one-possession lead, the Badgers had a 17-0 advantage. The Badgers’ defense…

The Green Bay Packers had a great chance to secure their place at the top of the NFC North going into their Week 4 matchup with the Detroit Lions. Instead, the Packers were outplayed for a full 60 minutes and embarrassed on their own field. With a long week to prepare, the Packers are looking to bounce back. This week, the Packers find themselves on national TV Monday night in a matchup against former receiver Davante Adams and the Las Vegas Raiders. Read on for our Packers vs Raiders prediction, NFL odds and a Packers injury report heading into Week…
