Good news: I didn’t lose a single penny in Las Vegas.
I might be answering my own question but UW's offense under Gard and Bo at times definitely has been a struggle...what is more important...style or players? Players make the style or does the style make the player?

What are your realistic expectations for Badgers football this season? Are they competing for the Big Ten championship?
— Badger Steve 🧀🍺🦌 (@UW_Steve) March 29, 2023
Anything surprising/revealing to you on Spring football practices so far in addition to the pace ? Or with your bball travels are you relying on Colton's and Jake's coverage just like us ?

With Alabama added at home in 2024 & away in 2025 & the conference schedule adding both UCLA & USC next year, would you agree that the Badgers greatest opportunity for the CFB Playoffs would be this upcoming season?

How has Wisconsin’s NIL structure improved football recruiting this year?
— Fred Ehle (@FredEhle) March 29, 2023
Obvious the NIL appears to have helped football recruiting. Will that same effort go into men’s basketball?

Last year the UWMBB team came up short in the portal. Added two solid players, but no bigs and no real scoring (consistent). Why should we believe this year will be different? What has changed?

Do you think any Badger hoops players enter transfer portal?

If you had to guess, how many current Badgers bball players on the roster will enter the transfer portal or call it a collegiate career?

How much MBB roster turnover will there be?

How does the basketball program bring in guys from the portal if they don’t have available scholarships? Does NIL fill that void now?

Is there sort of a “pecking order “ for the Badgers basketball assistants? Just curious if one is considered the top assistant on staff?

After Tyler Wahl missed both free throws it appeared to me he anticipated getting fouled on the last play, and didn’t want to go to the line so he passed to Crowl? Do you think he’s coming back?

The BB team never looked the same after a 15-day layoff in late December but more importantly the 2nd half of games have been brutal and not kind. Players look like they are gassed at times inside of 10-minutes left. Is conditioning an issue?

Based on multiple sideline interactions during the season, including against North Texas, seems like there is some creative tension between Coach Gard and Chucky Hepburn. Any chance Chucky thinks about entering the transfer portal?
— Benjamin Greuel (@GreuelBenjamin) March 29, 2023
Why do you think Tyler Wahl hasn't developed a jump shot? Is it a casualty of the offensive system? Wonder what it would be like if he could consistently hit a 12-15 footer.

Jim, was Hastings on your personal short list of " seems unlikely but potential home run hire " if UW gets him ?

@JimPolzinWSJ next mailbag. Any insight into Maty Wilke hitting the transfer portal? She was an important player that was coming on strong, and seemed to definitely be part of the future plans. This one seems strange.

At this point, what should the @packers get for Aaron Rodgers in trade?

@JimPolzinWSJ do you, Colten and the staff ever get any time off? (Serious question)

BadgerExtra columnist Jim Polzin's 5 favorite stories of 2022
Jim Polzin's favorite columns of 2022 range from one that made Iowa fans angry to one on Terrell Fletcher and Brent Moss that might bring tears to your eyes.
Alternate jerseys have become more and more popular in sports, but they can be a nightmare for fans who are color blind.
The hate mail (well, hate tweets) poured in from Iowa fans after this column was published. UW didn't want it written, either.
‘Everyone should get therapy’: Badgers coach Marisa Moseley isn’t afraid to talk about mental health
Marisa Moseley was in a dark place early in her coaching career, a story that we both felt was important for people to hear.
I went to Jim Leonhard's hometown in 2002 to learn more about a rising star in the UW program. Twenty years later, I went back.
Brent Moss and Terrell Fletcher formed a dynamic 1-2 punch in the 1990s, but there was a wedge between them off the field. A phone call years …
