LOOK: New Wisconsin HC Luke Fickell arrives in Madison

Highlights of new Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell’s arrival on campus and first day:

After a whirlwind of a day following Wisconsin’s loss to the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Saturday night, the Badgers’ new head coach Luke Fickell arrived with his family in Madison, Wisconsin, on Sunday night.

The news of Wisconsin targeting Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell as the team’s next head coach early on Sunday by ESPN’s Pete Thamel, and his hiring was confirmed by Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh in a statement only a couple of hours later. This news came as a surprise to many Badger fans who expected interim head coach Jim Leonhard to be named in the next few days.

Fickell spent his first day on campus taking part in his welcome event as well as touring the football facilities. It will interesting to see what changes are implemented in his first few weeks as head coach.

Below are some highlights of Luke Fickell’s first day as head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers:

Notre Dame makes slight tweak to iconic helmet

This is different!

Notre Dame’s iconic golden helmet will look different Saturday night when the Fighting Irish take the field at No. 2 Ohio State.

Not much different, but different nonetheless.

Notre Dame football’s official Twitter account posted a few pictures before the contest Saturday as the uniforms were being prepped in the Ohio Stadium locker room for the evening showdown. For the most part, everything looked exactly as it has with the road uniform and helmet for years.

Except for one tiny detail.

The front of the helmet that previously said “IRISH” in navy blue is gone and in its place is a gold interlocking “ND”.  Take a look below.

Two hours until kickoff.

Let’s. Go.

There were a few Badgers that had exceptional performances including receivers Kendric Pryor and Danny Davis III, who were signed as undrafted free agents by the Bengals and Packers in May. Impressively, both receivers were able to haul in touchdowns in their NFL preseason debuts.

There are still a few weeks of the preseason left, but it is outstanding to see so many former Badgers doing so well.

Take a look at some of Wisconsin football’s new fre

There were several cool previews for next season in the posts, including the first look at some of Wisconsin’s incoming freshmen and transfers fully suited up in their uniforms. A photo from running back Braelon Allen also shows Chez Mellusi wearing No. 1 compared to being No. 6 last year.

Even though it is not quite fall camp yet, seeing the players in their uniforms makes me anticipate Wisconsin’s opener against Illinois State on Sept. 3 even more.

Here are some of the Badgers’ player photos for the upcoming 2022 season:

LOOK: Wisconsin football gives update on Barry Alvarez Field

A first look at the newly completed Barry Alvarez Field at Camp Randall Stadium:

The field being renamed was a surprise from the Badgers to legendary former Wisconsin AD and head coach, Barry Alvarez, during his retirement ceremony at Camp Randall on Oct. 2.

In addition to the new turf field, Wisconsin will be unveiling the completed CR Future Project for the first home game of the upcoming season. The south endzone renovation will include new premium seating and concessions options for fans.

It will be exciting to see all of the changes to Camp Randall at the start of this season, and hopefully, these additions can help add to the already fantastic fan experience in Madison, Wis.

Over the last few weeks, most NFL teams have started their offseason practices and several former Wisconsin players will be trying to make the roster as undrafted free agents.

Former Badgers’ cornerback Caesar Williams is a part of this group as he participated in his very first practice with the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday morning. According to photos from his Twitter post, Williams will be wearing No. 35 for the Rams and is joining several former Badgers on the roster.

In his final season at Wisconsin, Williams recorded 28 total tackles, five pass deflections, three interceptions and a forced fumble.

It is very cool to see Williams in his new NFL uniform, and hopefully, the former Badgers’ standout CB can earn his way onto the Rams roster.

Ayer, los Cincinnati Bengals estuvieron en Kansas City buscando vencer a los Chiefs y así obtener su boleto para el Super Bowl por primera vez desde la temporada de 1988.

El partido para el Campeonato de la AFC fue muy emocionante y fue el quarterback de los Bengals, Joe Burrow, quien ya lleva dos años con el equipo, quien lideró al equipo. La antigua estrella de LSU es conocida por vestir algunas cosas memorables antes y después de los partidos y este fin de semana en Kansas City no fue la excepción.

La noche del sábado, cuando los Bengals llegaron a la ciudad, Burrow, quien hace algunos años llevó a LSU al campeonato nacional, fue visto vistiendo un outfit eléctrico, y el domingo volvió a usarlo.

Aquí está el sábado:

Traducción: Joe Burrow ha llegado a Kansas City.

 

Y aquí está cuando entró al estadio ayer:

Traducción: Joe Burrow está en el edificio.

 

Las bromas en Twitter:

Traducción: Joe Burrow parece como si Snow y Zack Morris se hubiera fusionado.

 

Traducción: En la foto no salen el resto de la Sociedad de los Poetas Muertos.

 

Traducción: ¿Alguien más siente la vibra de la vieja escuela de The Rock?

 

Traducción: Joe Burrow parece el villano de la secuela aún sin estrenar de Cruel Intentions.

LOOK: Top recruits arrive in Austin for big weekend

It’s a big weekend in Austin, TX.

Oh boy, it’s a big weekend in Austin, TX.

Not only is 5-0 and No. 12 Oklahoma State in town for a crucial Big 12 showdown, but Texas is hosting some of the best recruits in the country.

Five-star quarterback Arch Manning is the headliner, giving Steve Sarkisian the chance to wow the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2023 class. How important this recruitment is cannot be stressed enough. Program changer would be one way to describe it, as he would be the most high profile quarterback recruit in Austin since Vince Young.

A special trio of wide receivers is in town as well. Five-star Evan Stewart made a last-second trip after catching the Oklahoma game last weekend. The former Texas commit is the No. 1 priority on the board in the 2022 class.

From the 2023 class, Johntay Cook and Jalen Hale will be in Darrel K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium as well. Continuing to get the ball to Xavier Worthy will do nothing but help, proving a freshman wide receiver can come in and make a significant contribution.

Plenty of current commits are in town as well. Anthony Jones, Austin Jordan, Conner Robertson, and Cole Hutson highlight the group.

Recruiting has picked up and Texas is beginning one of its most important weekends of the summer. A loaded list of prospects is expected to be on campus over the next two days, headlined by five-star quarterback Arch Manning.

Recruits began to filter into Austin on Thursday night, attending local camps as well. Steve Sarkisian and A.J. Milwee have been seen posing for pictures for some of the Longhorns’ top targets. Current players have also gotten involved.

As the weekend progresses, more photos will be released and hopefully, videos from any camps Texas is putting on. Seeing Rueben Owens in an icy white jersey again will be nice, while key 2022 targets such as Cole Hutson, Jacob Sexton and Harold Perkins will be on their official visits.

Take a look at some pictures from prospects on official and unofficial visits this weekend on the next slide.
