Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike, and noted UW-Madison alum, joins Jim, Matt & Molly to give his reaction to the news that Wisconsin AD Chris McIntosh is keeping Luke Fickell for the rest of this season and 2026. Does this show a lack of commitment or a lack of funds for Wisconsin, and does this definitely mean that Fickell and Wisconsin will stick together after this season? Where does Evan see things going, and can we get some UW decision-makers to start treating their notable alums (and potential boosters) with a little more respect? They also discuss the possible outs still remaining for the Badgers and for Fickell, where things might go after this season if Wisconsin only ends up with two wins, and the notable names for a college football GM who could come in to actually bring a positive face to the tarnished brand of Wisconsin football!

Evan Cohen talks Badgers Football & Barry Alvarez on JM&M
Evan Cohen of Unsportsmanlike joins Jim & Molly to talk about Badgers fans' fervor around Barry Alvarez calling them "spoiled rotten" for chanting "Fire Fickell" last Saturday. Evan makes the case why Barry's comments were actually the best thing that UW athletics could have hoped for right now... They also discuss if this is the most disappointing Badgers season since Barry arrived. Plus, if the Badgers HC job hypothetically came open, would it still be as attractive of a job as when Fickell was hired, and what do the Badgers need from a personality and figurehead standpoint in a head coach? Plus, Evan talks about getting toe cramps and the other pains of getting old.
