Brady and Aranda made him look good too.

Wisconsin "commit" Amari Latimer visited fOSU last weekend, and last night looked like this.

F OSU.

hah, that's on Luke

[Brutus Buckeye]

hah, that's on Luke

He was always a strong recruiter for the Buckeyes.

It's $$$.

The vultures are out. At this point it's looking very doubtful for a lot of Wisconsin's "committed" recruits. Even the in-state kids are getting calls.

Fire him and the class falls apart and current players transfer. Keep him and the class falls apart and current players transfer.

The outlook is very dark right now.

Please be today. The only thing is that there is nobody on the staff worth a shit. Maybe that doesn't matter at this point. 2-10 is the ceiling and they already have the 2 part of 2-10.

Losing to Iowa may be the Luke Fickell fireable moment the boosters need

[FearlessF]

getting shutout and not trying to score on the last drive is the fireable moment in my opinion

Seems he's TRYING to get fired - I think he wants out

[SFBadger96]

First thing I looked at this morning was the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to see if Fickell had been fired yet. Apparently not. Curious.

Luke Fickell Will Continue to "Fight," But the Damage is Done
Luke Fickell Will Continue to "Fight," But the Damage is Done

“There’s only one way to go, and it’s through it,” said Fickell. “As a team, we either got to figure out that we’re tired of it and find a way to make sure we fight back, because that’s what I’m going to do. I told those guys in that locker room that you’re not going to get anything different from me. You’re going to get more from me.”

So, what have you been doing for 2.5 years? If effort and getting back to work each time you get your head kicked in is the answer, what goes on Sunday through Friday that allows this type of performance to keep repeating itself? Fickell’s players certainly are not responding to this mantra, while the fan base has assuredly tuned him out by this point.

********************************************************************

At halftime, there were some boos, drowned out by a larger contingent of Iowa fans that made the three-hour trip to Madison. But by the third quarter, there was no more anger, no real large outburst of frustration. They just sat there and took it.

And that’s when you know the real damage has been done.


One of the most passionate fan bases in all of college football, which had helped create one of the top game day atmospheres across the country, had quit. And there are countless others back home, who routinely made Badger football part of their Saturday, who won’t even subject themselves to it any longer.

just goes to show coaching hires are complete roll of the dice. it's all about luck- never know til they get the job. Fickell was 11-2, 11-3, 9-1, 13-1 and 9-3 at Cinci- had made a CFP and was producing NFL draft picks on defense. He was the hottest name on the coaching boards when Wisconsin hired him. coaching hires are complete crap shoots.

Please be true, minus the Tressel part.
