As time expired on a listless first half for the Wisconsin Badgers in which they trailed Maryland 20-0 on Saturday, the program's fanbase made its feelings clear on coach Luke Fickell, raining down a "Fire Fickell" chant as the teams headed to the locker room for halftime. If it wasn't already apparent how Badgers fans view the third-year coach, it sure was then and there. And things didn't exactly improve in the second half, as the Badgers dropped their second straight contest by losing 27-10 to the Terrapins.
While the fanbase's patience has run thin, Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh's hasn't yet. Speaking to reporters after the game, McIntosh expressed his "belief in the program" while defending Fickell.
