Something great happened at the Daytona 500 a few weeks ago.
Encouraged by its results at the end of the regular season the Wisconsin men’s hockey team (11-15-2 WCHA, 16-16-2 overall) heads into it’s road WCHA playoff series with No. 9 Denver (16-8-4, 21-11-4) with what head coach Mike Eaves calls “legitimate” confidence.
Every once in a while it is required that a columnist takes out a personal frustration in print, for everyone to see and comment on. Once a week usually does it. So what has me pulling my hair out this week?
MINNEAPOLIS—Playing in an atmosphere with a distinctly postseason feel, the Wisconsin men’s hockey team (11-15-2 WCHA, 16-16-2 overall) continued its push toward the playoffs, earning a confidence-building series split with rival No. 4 Minnesota (20-8-0, 24-12-1) to close out the regular season.
DULUTH, Minn.—For almost the entire regular season, the Wisconsin women’s hockey team appeared close to invincible. But after falling to Minnesota-Duluth 3-1 in the opening game of the WCHA Final Face-Off Friday, a game in which the Badgers seemed unprepared for their motivated opponent, Wisconsin has now lost two of its past four games heading into the NCAA tournament.
This Friday I’ll be trading in the determinedly snowy streets of Madison for the sun-scorched roads of Austin, Texas to attend the 2012 South by Southwest festival with a few of my fellow Cardinal writers. Some call it the ultimate spring break for nerds, others a colossal celebration of all aspects of millennial culture. That includes music, technology and of course, where I will be most concerned, film. Considering that in 2007, SXSW served as the launching pad for the now ubiquitous social networking service Twitter, who knows what world-changing creative properties will debut this year, changing life, and our use of hash tags, as we know it forever.
In its last series of the regular season the Wisconsin men’s hockey team (10-14-2 WCHA, 15-15-2 overall) is looking to continue building on its current momentum as it travels west for a matchup with its bitter border rival No. 4 Minnesota (19-7-0, 23-11-1).

Here in the land of the Packers and Badgers, it’s not often that we cast a sympathetic eye toward the land of 10,000 lakes. Now might be a good time to start, though, as the Minnesota Vikings seem to have taken a literal understanding of their mascot and are in the process of pillaging our neighbors to the northwest.

Awards season for movie releases has come and gone, along with the Oscars themselves. After catching up on the last few intriguing winners that you’ve yet to see, there won’t be much left playing in the theaters with any real draw for awhile. We’ve officially entered that barren cinematic tundra that comes around at the start of every year, that miserable period of arctic chill after all the winter magic has come and gone, leaving us with nothing but dirty snow and foul movies.
Playing away from Madison has not been kind to the Wisconsin men’s hockey team (8-14-2 WCHA, 13-15-2 overall) this season, but it will try to improve on its dismal road record this weekend as it travels north to face Bemidji State (9-12-3, 15-14-3) hoping to build momentum for the postseason.
Talk to members of the Wisconsin women’s hockey team about the first round of the WCHA playoffs this weekend against Minnesota State, and a similar theme emerges in how they refer to the start of postseason hockey.
Bitching about the current state of the music industry has been cool ever since punk-rock broke through in the mid-1970s, probably even before then, but it hit the mainstream with CBGB's and the Ramones. I even used to be one of those people, and I guess I still am a little, but when really looking at it, the music industry is almost in better shape now than it has been in the last ten years.
Few figures in the history of the Wisconsin men’s hockey program stand as tall as former head coach “Badger” Bob Johnson.
