With this year in the books, Badger fans cannot help but look forward to next fall and spring. In doing so, there are so many questions that Badgers fans can ask. The Daily Cardinal broke down the top questions for next year:
1. How will players recruited by Barry Alvarez respond to Bret Bielema and his new staff?
2. Will Alvarez spend his first year with the sole responsibility of Athletic Director concentrating on his UW duties, or will he spend it looking elsewhere for new coaching opportunities?
3. Who will step up and fill the running back vacancy left by third-round draft pick Brian Calhoun?
4. Can a more mature men's basketball team put together a big run in the final seasons of Alando Tucker and Kammron Taylor?
5. Will Greg Stiemsma and Marcus Landry be able to turn around their grades?
6. Who can replace Robbie Earl on the men's hockey first line?
7. Can Mark Johnson's women's hockey squad put together another championship season together?
8. Can the men's cross country team repeat without Simon Bairu?
9. Will the women's volleyball team take the next step and reach the final four behind Audra Jeffers?
10. Will Nolan Polley, Jeremy Sonkin and the men's tennis team mature into a Big Ten powerhouse?
