This weekend Paul Bunyan's Axe will again be on the line, as it has been since 1948.
Since Saturday's loss against Michigan State, plenty of people have noted that head coach Bret Bielema's career record against ranked Big Ten teams now stands at 1-8. Minnesota is not ranked this year—not even close, really—but they are Wisconsin's archrival, and Bielema has their number.

I remember my first Badger game quite well — on Aug. 30, 2008, the Badgers took the field at Camp Randall Stadium and trounced Akron 38-17 while I watched from section P in the north end zone. Obviously, I knew every single cheer, belted out the lyrics to all of the songs the PA system played, had every student section chants memorized and flawlessly executed the Time Warp dance during the Fifth Quarter.
President Obama promised to stand up for what is right, not what is popular. So he can't be very surprised by the chilly reception some are giving his plan to cut a NASA moon-landing program.

These occurrences are all too rare and must happen more often if the U.S. is to gain more credibility in the soccer world.

To put it in web lingo, WTF?
