Hey Wisconsinites! We need your feedback in advance of today's Committee pod! Let us know your thoughts on the questions below 👇
People from Ohio...are you buying that Wisconsin gets to claim Rose Lavelle because of Big Ten rights?
Our friend @kubasoccerfan.bsky.social needs to chime in here.
While Rose is perhaps one of the most important people ever to walk the face of the earth, for this exercise she maaaaay be more part of our Ohio series. That being said, we DO encourage rap battles between states for bragging rights of players.
Being a freaking legend.
Every week we will have a few prompts we will discuss on the Committee pod, and across our platfrom. Let us know your view on the following topics, and we will discuss our favorites on our show!

Hi Cafe Futbol! Thank you for reminding us of Gresko.
Doesn't get much better at remembering than this, folks. From Wikipedia: "during his decade-long career...[h]e never played a regular game, the closest occurrence ending in a red card whilst warming up, and hid his limited ability with injuries, frequent team changes, and other ruses."
Those are some fantastic names.
This is the energy we need in '26.
Such amazing hair. @susannahfuller.bsky.social is the ultimate judge, but we'd give Mix an 11 for the flow.
THE BOSSMAN
