If people knew @jimleonhard behind the scenes, the love for the program/players/families/alums, what he’s had to navigate through the years on staff, what he’s turned down to stay, and the vision he had for @BadgerFootball you’d realize just how gut wrenching today is. #Badgers

If you're vaping and you believe it's harmless or less severe that actual smoking, you're lying to yourself! It's dangerous and there are serious short and long-term health issues associated with it.

The future of the program doesn’t need to be so uncertain and yet Coach tries to lead in the most genuine way possible and call the reality to life. In spite of the outcome, the @BadgerFootball players and families are fortunate to have @jimleonhard in their corner.

Heard there's a dad/coach who said his team is going to win the championship for 3-4 grade flag football league. Tempted to make a trophy for him and crown him champion so he can spend the rest of the time playing kids in multiple positions and have them actually learn the game.

It can be hard for a lot of Wisconsin skill player recruits and parents to realize that when you’re talking about trying to be recruited at a national level, just how big of a difference the speed is in other parts of the country.

Badger staff has been very active recruiting the state, establishing a good relationship w/HS coaches. Class of 2024 has more to do with previous staff and influx during 2022 season The amount of $$$$ other P5/B1G schools have to offer can not be understated in this equation.
