EVANSTON, ILL.-In what should have been a blowout game, an easy win for Wisconsin before a week off, the Badgers did the one thing that guaranteed them a loss: They did not show up.
Bucky Badger does it all. He revs up the student section at home games, he does push-ups for each point scored at home football games and he even...well...abuses opposing mascots. Bucky is the life of the game, the rallying point behind the clean cheers the student section occasionally performs and the heart of the student body. But who is UW's beloved Bucky and why is he so popular?
Although five seniors said farewell Saturday, the men's hockey team ended its tumultuous season on a sour note. Wisconsin (7-17-4 Western Collegiate Hockey Association, 13-21-4 overall) simply could not produce against a stronger, faster North Dakota team (14-9-5, 24-9-5), falling 5-2 Friday and 5-0 Saturday.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.'With Wisconsin's 21-14 loss to Michigan, the senior class, including quarterback Brooks Bollinger, center Al Johnson, left tackle Ben Johnson and defensive lineman Jake Sprague could not complete what it set out to do: beat Michigan (6-1 Big Ten, 9-2 overall). After four years of Big Ten football, the Wolverines remain the only team in the conference the senior class has not defeated.
With a crazy week in which Wisconsin's police charges and arrests of players made the news as often as the games and practices themselves, it seems only fitting that the Badgers (1-5 Big Ten, 6-5 overall) played an equally crazy game, falling at home to the Illini 37-20. In a match-up against Illinois (3-3, 4-6) that resulted in seven turnovers, both teams' running backs provided the only stability in the game.
Fans and players faced reality Thursday when the University of Michigan punished its men's basketball team for a scandal concerning former booster Ed Martin.
With the 19-14 loss against Ohio State Saturday, the Badger football team finds itself in a place they didn't expect to be: at the bottom of the Big Ten. Wisconsin falls to 0-3 in the Big Ten and 5-3 overall while Ohio State maintains a perfect 3-0 conference record and remains 8-0 overall.
He has lived the life most hockey players can only dream of. After earning numerous records and helping his team to the national championship as a freshman, he went on to play with the U.S. Olympic hockey team, followed by an 11-year tenure in the pros and a coaching position with a prominent college hockey team. And the dream continues.
For the most part, Lauren Ford is a pretty typical freshman. She's a bit quiet, excited to be at college and is slightly apprehensive about her first exams. She leads her volleyball team with .96 blocks per game, and has 2.6 kills per game.
Sept. 15 was the perfect day for an afternoon swim, bike or run. For thousands of men and women from all over the country and the world, the swim, bike and run lasted a bit longer.
From its initial appearance, Wisconsin's 4-0 record demonstrates that the Badgers are a solid team that has performed well on both sides of the ball. But the statistics behind the games don't reveal that. Against Northern Illinois Saturday, the Badgers should have been by far the dominating team. A 24-21 win says that they were not. Instead, UW put up a lackluster performance for three quarters against a Husky team that outplayed them in most aspects of the game, partly because the Badgers underestimated NIU.
Saturday wasn't Avon Cobourne's best day.

The Wisconsin women's golf team will pack up its clubs and head to Illinois this weekend for the Big Ten Tournament.

While the initial score of 35-28 in favor of the White Squad in Saturday's spring football game might be reason for fans to be concerned with the upcoming season, the score does not tell the whole story. The game itself saw the Cardinal Squad, made up of Wisconsin's starters, score four touchdowns and miss three field goals. But the most frightening part of the game came in the first quarter.
They've got game. Despite the fact that the team lost three of its top players to graduation and three crucial players are injured, the UW volleyball team is out to prove they've got the depth and the drive to compete against global competition.
Two long jumpers. Two triple jumpers. Two teammates. Two friends.
