Wisconsin stifles Telfair, Showalter shines on both ends
(12/08/16 4:42am)
At the opening tip-off, the ball hung in the air longer than Ethan Happ expected—just long enough for Novak Topalovic to tap the ball back and steal the first possession for Idaho State. From there, it was all downhill for the Bengals.

(12/05/16 2:00pm)

Despite championship loss, Badgers' season one to remember
(12/04/16 7:10pm)
INDIANAPOLIS — The Wisconsin Badgers’ season ended the same way it started. On the first play against LSU and the last play against Penn State, Bart Houston took the handoff under center, turned left and handed it off right to Corey Clement, with Austin Ramesh leading the way from the backfield.
Kevin Abstract's sophomore album evokes nostalgia, lacks in charm
(12/01/16 12:00pm)
With a style that screams hip-hop, but a sound more fitting for a coffee shop, Kevin Abstract makes himself out to be anything but your typical artist. After nearly two years in the making and multiple title changes, Abstract released his second studio album, American Boyfriend: A Suburban Love Story. As its title would suggest, the album is a throwback to high school relationships, ’90s pop rock and coming of age films, orchestrated through Abstract’s introspective stream of consciousness. American Boyfriend paints a new direction for Abstract stylistically, moving away from modern hip-hop to focus more on acoustic instruments, harmonic singing and an effervescent atmosphere that walks the line somewhere between indie rock and pop. Abstract aimed to capture the feelings of self-discovery and suburban life, and American Boyfriend does just this, evoking nostalgia with a sound that is warm and a message that is relatable.
Florida to become 42-million-acre golf course under Trump
(12/01/16 12:00pm)
American golf enthusiasts rejoiced Friday after Donald Trump’s transition team announced an agenda to rebuild the state of Florida. The proposal, known as “Drain the Swamp,” includes provisions to demolish low-income neighborhoods, stabilize swampland through large-scale casino construction efforts, and to build a goliath, 42-million-acre golf course encompassing the entire state.“Hopefully, our plans are widespread enough to cover the entire state of Florida,” incoming Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said. “We wouldn’t want to leave any key spots undeveloped.”The state of Florida measures 65,755 square miles in area, or just over 42 million acres of land. Trump’s plan, as outlined by Priebus, would demolish every man-made structure in Florida to make room for the new green.“We have buildings,” Trump announced, “standing in the way of our movement. They are badly built. They are built by illegal labor.”Critics of the proposal call it “ludicrous,” that the entire state of Florida would be overhauled for a recreational golf course, but its pundits cite economic traffic and tourist revenue as clear plus-sides of such a project.“When you look at economic activity,” a White House advisor said, “it’s clear that the average tourist needs an incentive to move inland from the beaches at Sarasota and Bradenton on the West Coast or Delray and Daytona on the East. The center of this state isn’t getting any attention at all.”“The golf course is going to drive revenues up state-wide,” Priebus said. “We predict a 270 percent growth in stateside GDP, and a 70 percent reduction in the unemployment rate by November of 2019.”The finalized project would involve the (forced) relocation of all 19.9 million Florida residents, the complete drainage of the Everglades National Park and the importing of 643 million pounds of unadulterated Chinese sod. When asked about the challenges the residents of Florida would have to face during the construction of the golf course, Priebus was nonchalant.“It’s business,” he said casually. “They’ll learn to play the game.”
UW cruises past Prairie View A&M, Hayes dominates down low

After a disappointing showing in the Maui Invitational Championship against North Carolina, Wisconsin shored up all their weak spots that led to the loss, and showcased the kind of high-level play expected of them.
Gender identities should not be taught in schools, anywhere
(11/28/16 4:00pm)
After spending a sunny afternoon at the playground with some of the boys in my hometown, someone said to me, “It would have been nice if you were born a boy instead of a girl.” I was six or seven years old at the time, and it was at this point in my life that I felt a little off about my identity.
Recognizing own biases helps combat fake news
(11/28/16 2:00pm)

Personal rankings of films in 'Harry Potter' franchise
(11/21/16 4:39pm)
The wizarding world of Harry Potter is, as its name suggests, one of the most fantastical works of fiction. In honor of “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” a prequel of sorts to the “Harry Potter” franchise that hit theaters on Nov. 18, I decided to share my ranking of all eight “Harry Potter” films, from worst to best. I use “worst” as a relative term, because in my eyes, all of the films are well-constructed and faithful to the novels. While my order has shuffled throughout the years, as of today, I have a pretty definitive rank in mind.
Americans must face issues at hand, not run
(11/21/16 3:00pm)
President-elect Donald Trump’s historic victory, making him the first person to become president with no prior political or military experience, marks a turning point in our society. Trump’s presidency may seem like a nightmare for many people, but it is also what millions of Americans wanted and voted for. We must come to terms with this, but resist any of his attempts to erode our civil liberties and First Amendment rights.

(11/21/16 12:00pm)
Lake Mendota had once been the home for swimming, sailing and fishing, among many other recreational and scenic activities. But since the discovery of zebra mussels in the lake by a limnology lab last fall, the lake’s environment has shifted, resulting in changed food sources for fish and less attractive experiences for water activities at the Memorial Union terrace on a summer day.

Big Ten Power Rankings: Ohio State passes Michigan for top spot
(11/18/16 7:15pm)
Sitting upon his throne made of the skulls of his vanquished foes while sipping from a goblet of virgin blood, Nick Saban gazed down on the unwashed masses before shifting his Chaos Lever into maximum overdrive. And with that, a cloud of unbridled chaos descended over the college football landscape like a dense pea soup fog.
