The Wisconsin Badgers never had a chance, never had a chance to score or to win against Ohio State. The Buckeyes boat raced the Badgers 34-0. And for the second week in a row, the Badgers were shut out with no real fight, effort, or energy on the field. It was a game that lacked highlights unless you went with what happened in the stands. Wisconsin fans' disdain towards Luke Fickell and the Badgers had some hilarious moments.
Whether it was bags over their heads, chanting "Fire Fickell", or joining in with the viral trend started by Oklahoma State and filling an empty section of the stadium with shirtless fans spinning their shirts above their heads. There were some really funny responses by fans, all flowing from the disdain of where the football program is under Luke Fickell.

The Badgers aren't just losing games; they are not even showing up. They now have two shutouts in a row, and they were coming into the game averaging the fewest points scored by a Power 4 offense. To make matters worse, Luke Fickell doesn't even try to score points. He's coaching as if he either knows he will be fired or that he won't be. It's hard to watch.
The fans were frustrated all game, booing when the Badgers couldn't complete first downs or when they allowed Ohio State to march down the field. There were very few cheers from Badger fans. Except for one moment when the stadium erupted. It was the introduction of the Wisconsin men's basketball team.
Basketball school until football gets fixed. Wisconsin fans are ready for Luke Fickell to be fired, and until then, these shenanigans and more and more empty seats will be part of the Camp Randall atmosphere each home game.
