Bucky's 5th Quarter

For the first time in its history, the Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball program received a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament -- this year in the West Region. We'll discuss March Madness and their victory with Bucky's 5th Quarter's own Phil Mitten. When Frank Kaminsky was stymied, how did Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig pick the team up? What can we expect from Wisconsin in the tournament, especially if Traevon Jackson returns? Who could give the Badgers fits in their region, and is Phil putting them in his Final Four? Then, Mocking the Draft's Dan Kadar stops on to talk Melvin Gordon and the NFL Draft. Where does he see Gordon going, who will the Green Bay Packers draft at No. 30?

Wide receiver Randall Cobb, along with former Wisconsin Badgers quarterback Scott Tolzien, re-sign with the Green Bay Packers. Bryan Bulaga seems to be following the trail back to Titletown as well. Who else will come (back) to Green Bay, but who else will go? Also, which former Badgers will be with new teams? We'll discuss all the hoopla. We also talk Big Ten Conference tournament. Will Bo Ryan's squad run wild on the B1G? We'll also discuss the Big Ten honors for Frank Kaminsky, Bo Ryan, Sam Dekker and Nigel Hayes. Can they get the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament? At 8:40, we talk with Ring of Honor's Beer City Bruiser! We'll talk about his start in professional wrestling, his ascent to ROH, and facing Mark Briscoe Friday night in Milwaukee for Ring of Honor's "The Conquest Tour".

Jon and Drew welcome Jesse Temple of Fox Sports Wisconsin on the show this week to discuss the Wisconsin Badgers' goals as we enter Big Ten Championship week and the NCAA Tournament. What has he seen out of senior forward Frank Kaminsky through the years? Other, important questions are also asked, as Jesse is grilled on how he would wrangle a llama if given the opportunity, and how will forward Nigel Hayes look as the prospective top dog on offense next year for the Badgers.

We'll play post-game audio from the Wisconsin Badgers' victory over the Michigan State Spartans, which clinched at least a share of the Big Ten regular season championship. How far can Bo Ryan, Frank Kaminsky and Wisconsin go? The Badgers officially hired John Settle as their running backs coach (again). We'll discuss the hire and what his return means to head coach Paul Chryst's offense and on the recruiting trail. At 8:15, the Green Bay Press Gazette's Wes Hodkiewicz stops on to talk about the Green Bay Packers' offseason. No more A.J. Hawk, Brad Jones, and Brandon Bostick, but could there be no Randall Cobb as well after the Packers didn't place the franchise tag on him? Plus, we'll talk Milwaukee Bucks and the breaking news of LeSean McCoy being traded to the Buffalo Bills -- could Melvin Gordon be heading to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL Draft possibly?  

The Men in Red are back with Episode 2 of the podcast. Jon and Drew are talking Badgers hoops with Luke Mueller, B5Q's basketball beat reporter this year. The MIR ask Luke about Traevon Jackson's injury, Frank Kaminsky's POTY candidacy and to preview the upcoming games against Minnesota and Ohio State. After that, there are some glowing quotes from Michigan State's Tom Izzo on Kaminsky and Bo Ryan; a discussion on new running backs coach John Settle and whether or not it is better to have an established position coach or a young hotshot recruiter. All that, and Bo Ryan and Barry Alvarez moving in together after they retire, on this week's Men In Red Show.

The debut of our new podcast from Bucky's 5th Quarter. B5Q's Drew Hamm and Jon Arens discuss, debate (sometimes cry or whine) about Wisconsin Badgers athletics. In this first episode, Drew and Jon talk Badgers basketball with ESPN's Rece Davis! Who will challenge Frank Kaminsky for being the best basketball player in the nation? What should Badgers fans expect from Alabama faithful (#ROLLTIDE) in early September? Will he book Katy Perry on ESPN College Gameday? Great conversation with the well-respected journalist. Sit back and relax as Jon and Drew introduce themselves to you in a rapid fire session of questions! The dynamic duo is joined by B5Q's Phil Mitten, as they dive deep into Bo Ryan's team.

We are BACK! How did former Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon perform at this weekend's NFL Combine? Who helped and hurt their draft stock this weekend? Who should the Green Bay Packers select with the 30th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft? We ask CheeseheadTV's Brian Carriveau to start the show. The Milwaukee Bucks look to "Own the Future" -- last week's trade for Michael Carter-Williams definitely fits the mold of the future Jason Kidd and John Hammond envision. We discuss the trade's impact on the Bucks going forward. We'll also play some audio from Gordon at the combine, along with talking with Acme Packing Company's Tex Western to discuss his experiences at the combine, along with who the Packers should pick in the first round.
