This weekend’s battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe will make the 121st meeting between Wisconsin (3-2 Big Ten, 7-2 overall) and Minnesota (1-4. 2-7), the first coming all the way back in 1890.
Wisconsin has won its past seven meetings with Minnesota, and the Badgers have no plans to give back the axe this year.
The Wisconsin Badgers secured Paul Bunyan's Axe for the eighth straight year with a victory over Minnesota Saturday.
It is rare that the week featuring Wisconsin vs. Minnesota arrives and the talk of historical impact in the Big Ten does not center around Paul Bunyan’s axe. That is exactly the case this year, as the devastating facts continue to surface in State College, Penn., and major announcements keep coming from Penn State University.
While the agony of defeat may be a harsh pill to swallow, the Wisconsin football team (3-2 Big Ten, 7-2 overall) showcased its resiliency with a convincing 62-17 victory over Purdue, avenging two consecutive losses on the road. Wisconsin’s exceptional running attack was in full force as junior running back Montee Ball rushed for a career-high 223 yards and tied Brian Calhoun’s school record of 24 touchdowns in a season.
Congress began debating the future of US foreign aid last week, with many legislators seeking to cut funding in light of current federal budgetary constraints. Despite the nation's weak economy and poor outlook for recovery, cutting foreign aid is simply the wrong answer—especially in light of America's waning influence in world affairs. Both the Senate and House of Representatives have proposed reductions in the $60 billion State Department budget ranging from $12 billion in the House plan to $8 billion in the Senate plan. The reduced budget would force the State Department to spend on operations and security, leaving little money left over for humanitarian assistance.

Recently, I re-watched the quality flick ""High Fidelity."" It's one of those rare movies that I can watch perpetually without it ever feeling stale. The movie follows a group of record store employees who have a penchant for conversing in lists: top five songs to play on a Monday morning; top five musical crimes perpetrated by Stevie Wonder in the 80s and 90s; top five track one, side ones—you get the idea. In this ""top five"" spirit, my last column of the semester is a countdown of my top five favorite movies. These aren't the five movies I think are the best for any technical, artistic or cultural reasons. These are simply the movies that make me love movies.
Feb. 9, 2011 marked an event we'd foreseen yet wished to avert—the official death of the ""Guitar Hero"" game franchise, shut down by publisher Activision following poor sales despite multiple attempts to expand their ""Hero"" brand. An obscure budget title for Sony's aging Playstation 2, the game blossomed into a veritable touchstone for original distributor Harmonix, and later Activision Blizzard, before spiraling into obscurity, with its final entry—""Warriors of Rock""—selling under a million copies at launch. Yet in its fleeting five-year lifespan, it has left an indelible mark on both mainstream music and gaming culture, putting it among the most pervasive cultural and musical phenomena of the 21st century. And so, though it'd be of modest effort to simply concoct various ‘axe' puns at the late franchise's expense, I find it fitting to send off this once-venerable series in the manner of any fallen rock star: a eulogy, reminiscing upon better days and brighter futures.
Sleeping In The Aviary have always had a hard time sitting still. After forming right here in Madison, some seven years ago, the then-foursome released two albums of hyper-active jangly punk songs on Science of Sound records before riding over to Minnesota's Twin Cities and picking up a fifth member. On their first dispatch from the Land o' Lakes, Great Vacation, Sleeping In The Aviary ditch their most screeching punk styles for a more flush album that reins back their wild catharsis with dapper production and tidy pop numbers.
Needless to say, anyone who rushed the field after the Badgers beat Ohio State this season will remember the experience for quite a long time.
SLAC wants UW clothing worker wages public
If you're like me—that is, if you're a Green Bay Packers fan and you scour newspapers and websites to satiate your NFL appetite between Sundays—chances are head coach Mike McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson have moved you to bang your head against the nearest solid surface at least a handful of times.
Before the Wisconsin football team ever loaded up the team plane and flew to Las Vegas to kick off the 2010 season, conventional wisdom pointed toward this two-week stretch—including dates with Ohio State and Iowa—as the defining stretch of a promising season. An uninspiring, if not unsurprising, loss in East Lansing temporarily threatened to mute all of that talk, but after bludgeoning the Buckeyes on Saturday, UW is one win away from leaping right back into conference championship relevance.
Week six in college football was headlined by Alabama's fall from grace at the hands of South Carolina and Ohio State's reclamation of No.1 status in both polls for the first time since 2007. A few interesting situations developed as the Big Ten became the new home to the best team in the nation.
