Ep. 59 - Is Luke Fickell Still an Outsider as a Wisconsin Badger? + Jordan Taylor Joins!
It’s Pablo Iglesias & Jim Rutledge on The Jump Around! Today, they discuss the feeling that Luke Fickell still seems like an outsider in the state of Wisconsin despite it being year three of his tenure. They also try to hammer down what the bigger issue is with Badgers football right now: the NIL/recruiting or the coaching itself? UW seems to answer that question differently than most... Riley takes the fellas into the Wisconsin Twitter Portal with some broader questions about college football and some preseason disrespect towards Badgers basketball from national pundits. Finally, Wisconsin basketball legend and UW Hall of Famer Jordan Taylor joins the show! He talks being teammates with Ben Brust, his time at Wisconsin, why he's incredibly high on this year's Badgers team, and much more!
