Official visit season is officially HERE — and Wisconsin's first massive OV weekend could shape the future of the 2027 class.

The FINAL definition of vamp on the Merriam-Webster site says "Improvise, extemporize." That's the one we're using here. Not "a woman who uses her charm or wiles to seduce and exploit men," which is the FIRST definition. What the actual hell? On this Dorks Just Chatting, Chewie talks all about his newly-purple beard and his mom's stay in the hospital. Dirk has no idea when things happened and tells us all about a massive school program that eventually just...stopped. We discuss extracurricular activities in school (or our lack thereof). We reminisce about weird problems we had with old guests (or people who didn't become guests) in our ridiculously long history. We wonder at the UK officially preserving Badger Badger Badger, which leads naturally into...Nintendo Power and its comics. Naturally. Eventually this gets us to new editions of books that change words and titles, and that's where Chewie learned about the original title of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.

Wisconsin's 2027 defensive recruiting board is starting to come into focus — and the message is clear: SPEED. LENGTH. VERSATILITYOn today's episode of The Bucky Report, we break down the Badgers' top defensive targets in the 2027 class, including Nathan Jones, Mekhi Williams, Darin Graham, Darryl Flemister, Evan Via, Royalton Allen, Yahzeen Zion, and more. We dive into the loaded official visit weekends coming to Madison and discuss what Luke Fickell and Mike Tressel appear to be building defensively for the future of Wisconsin football.We'll analyze:

Owen Foxwell's basketball journey has already been unlike almost anyone entering college basketball. After spending the last four years playing professionally in Australia's National Basketball League, one of the top pro leagues in the world, Foxwell steadily developed into a high-level guard while posting career-best numbers this past season. Originally committed to Louisiana State University, Foxwell ultimately reopened his recruitment before committing to University of Wisconsin, giving the Badgers one of the most unique and experienced additions in college basketball.Foxwell's move to the NCAA has sparked major conversation across the basketball world, particularly surrounding his eligibility. Because of his professional background in the NBL and the fact that he went through the NBA Draft process last year when he became draft eligible, many questioned whether he would still be able to play college basketball. His path has created broader discussions around international players, professional experience, and how eligibility rules continue evolving in today's game.Despite all the attention and uncertainty surrounding the transition, Foxwell is confident his professional experience will allow him to adapt to college basketball almost seamlessly. Having already competed against grown professionals for multiple years, he enters Wisconsin with a level of maturity, physicality, and understanding of the game that few incoming players possess. With high expectations surrounding both Foxwell and the Badgers, his transition from the NBL to the Big Ten will be one of the most intriguing storylines in college basketball next season.

Is it time to rethink the configuration of the US Supreme Court – not nine justices divided along lockstep ideological lines, but three groups of three justices, each clique with a different approach to jurisprudence? So argues court watcher and legal analyst Sarah Isgur, who discusses her new book, Last Branch Standing: A Potentially Surprising, Occasionally Witty Journey Inside Today's Supreme Court, and explains where the justices stand on a series of contentious issues (“birthright citizenship”, the administrative state, abortion, the court's relationship with an antagonistic president on matters like tariffs and executive authority, plus maintaining a semblance of impartiality in a polarized Washington). After that: the three fellows discuss what's next in Iran with peace negotiations seemingly at an impasse, what to expect from this week's US-China summit in Beijing, plus what challenges lie ahead for Hoover fellow Kevin Warsh as he takes over as the Federal Reserve's new chair.  Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

-Those projections of as high as the 2 nd round were way off for Emmett, who heard his name picked in the 5 th round by the Chiefs---those cheersyou heard were from your neighbors thrilled to see him go to their favorite team.-It's another year, though, of just one Husker drafted---which is better than what Wisconsin, Purdue and UCLA had….for the Badgers, it's thefirst time since 1978 that no one was drafted. Meanwhile, the SEC had 87 players drafted compared to the B1G's 68…though it was a good firstround for the B1G. Also…former Husker Nate Boerkircher was a 2 nd round pick (Jaguars)!!!

In this latest SZD/Extra Points Sports Business Hour with guest Matt Brown, Alex and Richard talk about several things you've seen in the news. Find Matt at Extra Points, and listen to our conversation here: * 0:45: Learfield, the college sports multimedia rights company, sold to a (new) private equity owner in a $2 billion deal. This is one of the largest deals in college sports history, but for what? Matt helps us understand the importance of companies like Learfield and its rival Playfly, and how they affect both our favorite teams and their financial statements. Will this deal change much about the college sports landscape, though? It doesn't seem like a slam dunk. * 19:45: The Trump administration's college sports executive order is fake and made up, but somehow, that's not the same thing as “meaningless.” It also might destroy any potential for a serious legislative solution to college sports' problems. Matt tells us what he's learned from Capitol Hill sources. * 32:37: Did the Big Ten office do a make-work for Wisconsin's AD so that the Badgers could get someone better in that job? The answer isn't “definitely not.” * 42:34: The NCAA makes an example of … Iowa. * 47:35: Audience question 1: What would be the pros and cons of media rights consolidation?* 52:04: Audience question 2: Which schools are doing fun and different things with their House settlement allocations?

Wisconsin is currently without an Athletic Director, President, and Chancellor. We determine how this can impact the university

Czabe reconnects with two of his favorite actual ex-Badgers, BRIAN BUTCH and producer-for-life ERIC GITTER. They talk about missing a team photo for a haircut, the Dan Hurley head-butt that wasn't, who are the good refs doing the Final Four, and that time that Erin Andrews called Butchy when he was playing in college. Also Tiger Woods has finally decided he can't dodge it anymore, and has checked into rehab. Culvers is the best. Why can't your kids clean up their room. And the NFL is ready to crack the ref union open like a pistachio. MORE....Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
