It was exactly what Wisconsin Head Coach Bo Ryan had in mind: A tough, physical exhibition victory to prepare the two-time defending Big Ten champions for their season opener Friday at Pennsylvania.
It is amazing what a couple of beers can do to people. Bar fights, cat calls and ridiculous cravings for greasy gobs of cheese pizza all qualify. But lately, attacking umpires and apparently partying with college kids nearly 30 years younger following also do the trick.
I'd like to profess my hatred for the movie \Clueless,"" starring Alicia Silverstone. It's so corny, ridiculous and far-fetched. Hundreds of drunken high school parties? Ditzy, half-naked women getting picked up in a friend's Porsche? More like a Hugh Hefner anniversary party than anything resembling a high school kegger.
I'm calling out the Milwaukee Brewers' management team. Why? The chances of any of them reading this article are roughly the same as the Brewers' chances of winning a three-game home stand.
He had the perfect swing. But he missed.
Ahhh, Opening Day. The 2003 Major League Baseball season brings so many aspirations and even more possibilities for all 30 teams. Even the Milwaukee Brewers started off in first place Monday afternoon, even if it only lasted four innings.
If you think UCLA men's basketball coach Steve Lavin has immense pressure to succeed at one of the most storied programs in all of college basketball, just wait until Jane Albright's successor steps through the door.
The Kohl Center event staff standing in front of the Wisconsin student section began to get a little nervous during Wednesday night's game between UW and Illinois.
The way I see it, the best approach to determine the demeanor of the men's basketball team before its showdown with Illinois tonight is to explore the minds of two completely different individuals. We'll examine the soft-spoken farm boy from Blue Mound, Wis., and the colorful Kiwi who will walk onto the Kohl Center floor one last time. Two diverse personalities, but both play a crucial role in Wisconsin's Big Ten title hopes.
Michael Jordan has golf. Pete Rose has gambling. Green Bay Packers tailback Ahman Green likes to snowmobile. Even UW hockey players like to, well, ok, bad example. Whatever it may be, most athletes participate in a variety of leisure activities to escape the pressures of their respective sport. Boxers most likely enjoy the same R&R, unless, of course, you are Mike Tyson.
Annika Sorenstam's golf swing is all about precision and confidence, but it has one unique feature. Sorenstam unconventionally lifts her head just before she makes contact with the golf ball.
This better be the end, Mike. On Oct. 30, 2001, the unthinkable happened. The greatest player in basketball history made his return to the NBA for the third time, sporting a Washington Wizards jersey in front of a sellout crowd at Madison Square Garden. Most fans were critical of his decision, in fear he would ruin his legacy. I was one of those doubters.
It's just not right. Four months from now LeBron James will hit the dance floor at his senior prom. Soon after that he will undoubtedly sign a multi-million dollar shoe contract with either Nike or Adidas. And next fall he will be lacing up those sneakers against Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady and several other NBA players who would like nothing more than a shot at this phenom. So much will change.
If only Oakland Raiders guard Frank Middleton knew. And guard Mo Collins. And countless media organizations across the country.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary is starting to lose some credibility.
Pure frustration. It's third down and four with 1:30 remaining in the game last Saturday. After giving up more than 420 yards and 30 points for the second straight game, the UW defense failed miserably, yet again.
I am irate. For the third consecutive home football game, the majority of students sitting in sections O and P began chanting for junior Jim Sorgi to replace senior Brooks Bollinger at quarterback. That is ridiculous. And my argument is not because Sorgi lacks talent.
Major League Baseball has the Yankees and the National Football League has the Packers. Two professional sports franchises in which fans love or love to hate. With eight national championships, the last of which came in 1988, Notre Dame football is no different. As the most successful teams of their respective sports, it is easy to see why few fans filter toward the middle of this love-hate relationship.
There is no question losing one of the best players in college football will hurt the psyche of any team. But with or without Lee Evans, the fate of the 2002 Wisconsin Badgers football team does not rest on the shoulders of an offense that returns seven starters excluding Evans. It relies on a defense that gave up just less than 29 points per game last season and a special teams unit that missed seven field goals and was downright lousy on kickoff coverage.
The Wisconsin women's tennis team hopes to remain undefeated in Big Ten play with a sweep of Indiana and Purdue this weekend at the Nielsen Tennis Stadium.
