Wisconsin has been shut out in back-to-back games for the first time since 1977. The football program hit rock bottom weeks ago, but now they are building a shanty at rock bottom to live in for a while. It's brutal to watch, and hard to stomach that the once crown jewel of Wisconsin athletics is now the laughing stock of the Big Ten. And yet, hope continues to be elusive as the Badgers' Athletic Director hasn't fired head coach Luke Fickell and may be unwilling to.
The early reports from reporters that stay connected are that McIntosh is working hard to NOT fire Fickell, even as the pressure mounts.
