Nothing Luke Fickell did late last week against No. 1 Ohio State mattered to the outcome.

Proud that we have become a basketball or volleyball school

Not the good kind of laughing
Pretty hilarious when the only highlight of the game is a no name punter running for a 1st down pic.twitter.com/64fKzPDO1w

Ugly look
This at the end of the game really set me off. Fickell gets booed off the field and raises his hands like “bring it on.” Buddy, have some pride. You’re coaching a team that hasn’t scored more than 14 against a Power 4 opponent. Try embarrassment before defiance. pic.twitter.com/sRPxbpG41h

Imagine ...
Imagine being told that 5 years later there would be 18 Big 10 teams and all 17 of the others would be *considerably* better than UW pic.twitter.com/ULuNIlnKNM

Misperception
It felt like Ohio State went easy on us. The game wasn't as close as the score and that's saying something...

What did you expect?
Trying to understand why anyone thinks a D3 QB could manage anything against a top ranked defense. Also, those calling to fire Fickell forget who hired him and doubled down over the summer when there were no positive results. #FireMcIntosh

The good ol' days
I miss the glory days of Gary Andersen. Seriously, has any Athletic Director screwed up football more than McIntosh? Clean house now

Wrong questions
I got a survey after the Iowa game asking me about my in game experience focusing mostly on food and beverage service. The survey didn’t ask about the football product. The “management” at the UW athletic department is so blind, it would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.

What was the plan?
Fickell spent the entire day managing his misery, trying to keep the score from getting out of hand.
— Craig Smith (@smithcp1) October 18, 2025
Mission accomplished. Never thought I would see the day where a Wisconsin HC spent the day trying to lose by 34 instead of 54.
What if we try this?
Keep Fick & open up the coffers & pay higher level talent to play & stay in Madison.

Leave it at this
Fickell should obviously be owning this, given his contract and his position, but as fans, we honestly can’t know if he is THE problem. Obviously, he knows how to coach. He took Cincinnati to a playoff. But it isn’t working and no one seems to have answers. Time to start over.
