Victory Friday! Packers sweep the Lions in Detroit on Thanksgiving. Matt LaFleur's playcalling and aggressiveness were A+++. Toyotathon Jordan Love rolls, Micah dominates, Packers get to 8-3-1. Badgers try to hit the offseason with a TON of momentum, Paul Bunyan's axe on the line tomorrow. Bucks continue to struggle without Giannis, Badger basketball gets a nice win against Providence, and the Brewers apparently have payroll 'concerns' next season?? UGH.

VICTORY MONDAY! Packers get a little conservative at the end, but the defense dominates JJ McCarthy as the Packers roll to a 23-6 win at Lambeau. Now, a MASSIVE game in Detroit on Thanksgiving. Badgers roll to a 27-10 win over #21 Illinois on Saturday night, feels like some very real momentum is finally building for Luke Fickell. One game left to get the axe on Saturday in Minnesota. Bucks 0-2 without Giannis, need to get one tonight against Portland.

Packer/Viking weekend! In my lifetime, I think this has been a more bitterly contested rivalry than Packers/Bears. Packers need a win before a short week and road trip to Detroit. Badgers have a LOT to prove in the final two weeks of the season, starting with Senior Night at Camp Randall on Saturday night against Bielema and Illinois. Bucks lose two games and Giannis this week, Woody is back with the Brewers.

Was it pretty? For sure not. But the Packers got a win they absolutely needed to get, and Jordan Love played one of the best games of his career, even if the box score doesn't show that. Now on to one of the 5 division games remaining on the schedule, the Vikings at Lambeau this weekend. Badgers cover against #2 Indiana, the next two weeks determine my optimism level for Fickell next season. Bucks split the weekend, in Cleveland tonight.

Packer offense stalls out again on MNF, now a must win in New York against a team with an interim coach and a backup QB starting on Sunday. Plus, an interesting email from a listener about Matt LaFleur, Craig Counsell, and Pat Murphy. Badgers try to build on a top 25 win at #2 Indiana this weekend, Bucks back in NBA Cup action tonight, and Pat Murphy wins his second NL Manager of the Year award.

The Badgers WON A GAME! Against a top 25 team! First one since 2021. I don't think this means Fickell is the guy, but it was nice to enjoy a Badger football Saturday for the first time in a while. Packers tonight against the defending champion Eagles, and the Bucks split the weekend against the Bulls and Rockets, feeling pretty decent overall at 6-4 through 10 games.

Chris McInstosh officially announces that Luke Fickell will be back as Badger head coach in 2026. I realize the two are tied together, but holy moly. Badgers get set for #23 Washington at Camp Randall on Saturday. Packers get set for the Eagles on Monday night, Tucker Kraft officially ruled out for the season, a quiet trade deadline on Tuesday for the Packers. Giannis knocks down a game winner on Monday, Bucks get blown out on Tuesday, have a big matchup da Bulls tonight at Fiserv. And the Brewers make roster moves on Freddy, Woody, Rhys, and Quintana.

Packer lay a turd at home against Carolina, losing as a nearly two touchdown favorite. I'm not saying Matt LaFleur needs to be fired, but it's clear in year 7 we've got some 'themes' that aren't ideal in games like yesterday. Also: Tucker Kraft out for the year, might be a bigger deal than the game itself. The World Series ends in a Game 7 classic, one of the best World Series matchups of my lifetime. Bucks also drop an ugly game on Saturday, in Indiana tonight.
