Wisconsin Badgers (Official Thread)

Wiscy is 5-6 and hosting the Battle for the Axe on Friday.

Their 5 wins: Western Mich, South Dakota, Purdue, Rutgers, and NW’ern.

Yikes.

They do have a difficult schedule and lost to 3 really good teams though..Alabama, Penn State, and Oregon. They lost to another 3 teams (USC, Iowa, and Corn) that might have been more winnable for Cheese had they been at home; but the games were on the road.

And Cheese fired Fat Bret after going 8-5, 4-4 in 2012....:roll1:

Fickel is probably safe for a couple more years due to the huge buyout though.

Fickell's $40.1 million contract buyout (as of 12/1/24) ranks 13th-highest in college football. The success at Wisconsin has not yet fully arrived, but Fickell is compensated like one of the best coaches in college football.

Bert didn't get fired from Cheese. He held a team meeting to reassure the team he was staying and was on a plane to Arkansas the next morning.
That was the genesis of the whole #Karma thing.
