The college football transfer portal has begun and the Wisconsin Badgers have lost a couple players -- but most noticeably nothing that seems like a devastating move. We talk about all the players that have left and pretty quickly realize none of them outside Graham Mertz likely had a huge role on next year's team.

We discuss the latest rumors on Jim Leonhard and why there needs to be a sense of urgency for Luke Fickell and he continues to work through his first week on the job. With the transfer portal open and early signing day coming up, Wisconsin needs to move quickly to stabilize the '23 class and stem the bleeding from the transfer portal.

We also talk about your reactions to the Graham Mertz show - the fan base is pretty split on where the blame lies but most agree it was time to move on for both Graham Mertz and the Wisconsin Badgers.
