Wisconsin's 24–10 loss at Michigan may have added another “L” to the record, but it also gave us our first real look at Hunter Simmons running this Badger offense — and there's plenty to unpack. Simmons showed flashes of composure, accuracy, and leadership, even behind an offensive line that continues to struggle in protection. We'll break down what he did well, where the timing and reads still need work, and whether he's earned another start heading into the Iowa game next week at Camp Randall.Then we're getting into the decisions that had Badger fans fuming — from the conservative second-half play-calling to the late-game clock management that left timeouts on the board. Was Luke Fickell playing not to lose? Or did he simply not trust this offense yet? We'll dissect what it says about the current coaching mindset and whether adjustments are finally coming.And yes — there's still reason for optimism. The Wisconsin defense battled all afternoon, holding Michigan to just ten points in the first half and keeping the Badgers within reach until late in the fourth. We'll highlight the players who stood out, what Jim Leonhard (or Mike Tressel, depending on context) has cooking schematically, and why this performance could be a real turning point heading into the Big Ten West grind.It's not all doom and gloom — this one felt different. We're talking Simmons' poise, the coaching heat, and the defensive fight that might finally give this team a new identity.

They open with a look at the keys for Michigan's offense.

They also make prop-bet picks for the offense in the game. In the second half of the episode, they look at the keys for Michigan's defense. They discuss Wisconsin's offensive woes, a tough schedule for the Badgers, Michigan getting healthy in the secondary, the importance of a dominant pass-rush and disruptive front, covering tight ends and more.

On one hand…it's Monday. But on the other hand…it's the Monday of Oktoberfest week! In the news this morning, the Milwaukee parents who left six kids locked in a storage unit get charged, an armed man who claimed to be a member of law enforcement was arrested at the site of the Charlie Kirk memorial, Disney faces criticism and major financial losses after suspending Jimmy Kimmel, and Erika Kirk's words during the service for her husband. In sports, a rough weekend for Wisconsin sports as the Packers & Badgers both lost and the Brewers dropped two of three to the Cardinals(but still managed to clinch the NL Central title). Aaron Rodgers passed Brett Favre on the NFL's All-Time TD list, and Cal Raleigh keeps hitting dingers! Speaking of dingers, Mike Trout hit his 400th career home run and got the ball back from the fan who caught it…but not without having to "pay" for it. We talked about this weekend's NASCAR playoff race and the measly $200 fine that Caitlin Clark got after some online comments. Let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we discussed a website that's looking to pay someone to watch horror movies! Brian just about lost his mind this morning talking about his blue bucket of tent stakes that went missing. As bad as we may think the roads are in Wisconsin, we aren't even close to the worst state in the US. And today is the first day of Fall…but are we doing the seasons all wrong? One guy thinks so. A town in Iowa seems to have a real problem with TP'ing houses. Did you see the Stone Cold Steve Austin celebration this Saturday? Great stuff…unlike this scene from a football field where some kid got pancaked and had his back broken. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a bus driver that went off the deep end, a couple who claims their Lego collection got ruined by movers, a bear in a dollar store in NJ, and a couple of college kids who got in trouble for burning a couch with a flamethrower.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ROUGH football weekend in our fair state. The Packers puke one up in Cleveland. Bad day for the offense and special teams. Maybe a wake up call after dominating in Week 1 and Week 2. Now we get set for the Micah Parson return to Dallas this coming Sunday. Badgers not only lose at home on Saturday, they get dominated by Maryland. MARYLAND. Fire Fickell chants in the crowd, vibes are BAD bad in Madison. The good news? The Brewers clinch the NL Central! 3 games up on Philly for the best record in baseball with 6 games to go. Rough news for Woody though on Sunday as he hits the IL just before the playoffs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comOne quarter of the way through the season, Godfrey, Richard, and Alex discuss five teams that are off to terrible starts and haven't fired their coaches yet. They all look doomed to at least a bad season and maybe more than that, but can we find reasons for hope? In this episode: * How Billy Napier's staff management at Florida has made him an easy target for criticism as DJ Lagway has gone backward in his second year * Oklahoma State has fallen behind not just the blue-bloods of the sport, but most of the Big 12. Mike Gundy no longer looks like the guy to fix it* Wisconsin built its roster expecting that it could still act like the Wisconsin of the 2010s, putting a moneyball QB into a good support system. But the Badgers might not be able to operate that way anymore. * Northwestern is going in the wrong direction under David Braun. That doesn't look like his fault, but he also probably isn't the man to fix it. (Also, Pat Fitzgerald is probably getting back into coaching soon. Just saying.) * Liberty has so much more money than its peers but has now lost six of its last 10 games going back to last October. Maybe Jamey Chadwell's trick at Coastal Carolina wasn't as portable as once thought. After going through each of this situations, we wonder: Which of these programs has the best chance to get back on an upward path soon?
