Yet, when I watch that, I keep thinking that even though a lot of us, as fans, have abandoned the Fickell teams, there are those at the University who aren't doing it, and the players are responding by playing at a level that most of us believed was impossible.Yes, I was one of those who thought Fickell should be fired. I felt that should have happened before they played Washington. Now, I don't feel the same way. I've watched the Badgers come out and beat two teams ranked in the top 25 and that's not something that could or would happen if the players on the Badgers squad had abandoned the program because of all the problems surrounding it.I think the portal is going to have a lot to do with next year's success. I had a hunch it would if Fickell stayed anyway. There are going to be players who are already in Madison who will be stepping up and more will arrive as well. If the Badgers beat Minnesota next week, the season won't be a total loss. As long as you beat Minnesota and Bielema and Illinois, your season isn't a total waste.</blockquote>
