Today · 51 min4PM: Badgers Starting Ryan Hopkins at QB! Did Wisconsin Wait Too Long for QB Change? + Jason Wilde Joins
It's Jim Rutledge and Matt Hamilton holding it down for the second time this week, as they get ready for another big football weekend in Wisconsin. It got even bigger with today's news that Wisconsin football is expected to start freshman QB Ryan Hopkins this Saturday against Rutgers, as Colton Joseph is reportedly dealing with injuries... They ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question: Did the Badgers make a mistake waiting this long to start Hopkins? They also hear voice of the Badgers Matt Lepay's assessment of the true freshman QB, and they discuss what this means for Luke Fickell -- is he gone if they don't win out? Also, were the Badgers always circling this date to make a QB change, and how do they need to balance the push and pull of NIL in today's QB market? Jason Wilde joins Matt & Jim on the Yuengling Guest Hotline ahead of Sunday's Packers game versus the Patriots. Jim explains his problem with Mark Tauscher saying that the Packers are still better than the Bears, and they discuss how many teams from the NFC North will make the playoffs -- can the Packers finish better than the 7-seed this year? Jim & Matt wrap up Hour 1 looking at the QBs in Sunday's game -- who will have a better overall career: Jordan Love or Drake Maye?
