BuckAround: A Wisconsin Badgers Football Podcast

Scott Dochterman joins the show to preview Iowa abnd explain what that very weird Brian Ferentz contract really means about power dynamics in Iowa athletics.

Doug from The Coordinator Project joins the podcast to help understand how the defense will transition from Loenhard to Tressel, what the Dollar exactly is, and how personnel fit into the scheme. Check out Doug's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/TheCoordinatorProject

Rich and Max discuss the impact of injuries to the tight end room and addition of Oregon and Washington to the Big 10.

Rich and Max touch on last week's B1G Media Days and then talk about what they're interested in seeing from the Badgers in fall camp. No discussion of home decor this week but there is talk of pickles.

Rich is joined by Travis Miller of Boiler Upload to preview Purdue in 2023

Rich is rolling solo this week and is joined by Chris Iseman to preview Rutgers

What are your opinions of black frame windows? Yes, this is a college football podcast.

We didn't want to call this episode a B1G Picture as the conversation covered a lot of topics! We started with a preview of the Buckeyes, but also discussed the tenure of Chris McIntosh, what's going on with NIL, Matt's foray into computer programming, and the latest TV deal for the Big Ten.

Rich and Max discuss Luke Fickell's media blitz following the decommitments of Rob Booker and Vernon Woodward.

Rich and Max discuss the new Big Ten football schedule and the current state of the recruitng class as summer visits begin to wind down and finish the show with a few recruiting related listener questions.

A week into June official visits, Rich and Max compare Luke Fickell's results thus far to seasons past. Are there any indications of an uptick in recruiting?

Rich and Max discuss the addition of Nyzier Fourqurean, evaluate Luke Fickell's roster management, and examine the impact of a greater focus on Chicago as a source of future Badgers. Tangets include Indiana geography and the decorating choices in Paul Chryst's home office.

It's a show listener driven show this week! Your questions got us discussing Phil Longo's [lack of a] Mother's Day tweet, Mike Lucas's Role in the fleeting fame of one Paul Jackson, and whether or not Max thinks most of the audience owns a smart phone

Rich and Max wrap up spring practice by not talking about spring practice at all.

Badger fans got their first look at the Fickell era of Wisconsin football and Rich and Max give their thoughts.

Rich and Max take stock of the team halfway through spring practice and compate Braelon Allen and Chez Mellusi to running duos of the past.

Colten Bartholomew from Badger Extra joins the podcast to share his insights into what he's seen from the Badgers through 5 practices. We kept him for almost an hour and a half and we could've done another hour with him. He was great!

Rich watched too much Jason Maitre media availability from his time at Boston College and Max isn't really sure what to look for during spring practice but somehow there's a podcast about spring practice

We discuss the inevitable twitter beefs between Phil Longo and retired beatwriters that will consume our futures.

We make ourselves look really stupid by trying to guess at offensive production for the Badgers in 2023.

So we didn't get sidetracked talking about new printers this time (ok actually maybe just a little bit at the beginning) and we got to some great listener questions. Thanks to everyone to helped make a fun show!

We said we'd do a wall to wall Q&A epsiode but instead we ended up talking coaching changes, cauliflower ear, and my new printer. I don't know why you keep listening to this crap.

We talk about bloated bodies, future depth issues at running back, and our feelings on the offensive line.

It's time to look at who's coming back on defense and how we feel about them as well has a bunch of listener questions that we read but don't really get around to answering.

Remember that part in Empire Strikes Back when Yoda looks up as Luke is flying away and says "There is another"? This episode is exactly like that except Yoda is Ray Ball.
