Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema sits down with the press on Friday afternoon, answering questions about the Badgers, what they face in a game against MSU, and his feelings about the Championship.
After capturing the inaugural Leaders Division title Saturday, the Wisconsin football team (6-2 Big Ten, 10-2 overall) is preparing to take on rival Michigan State (7-1, 10-2) for the Big Ten Championship in a highly anticipated rematch.
After Ohio State and Penn State lost and the Badgers (4-2 Big Ten, 8-2 overall) took care of business against Minnesota, the natural reaction was to consider what a de facto Divisions League championship game would look like Nov. 26 at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison.
The Wisconsin football team (4-2 Big Ten, 8-2 overall) has been running on all cylinders after throttling Minnesota 42-13 to retain possession of Paul Bunyan’s Axe for the eighth-straight year and is looking to carry that momentum into Saturday’s game against Illinois (2-4, 6-4).
Notoriously crude, boorish director Bret Ratner (creator of cinematic masterpieces like "Rush Hour 3") made a complete ass out of himself at the premier of his new under-performing flick "Tower Heist" by commenting in a Q&A that "Rehearsals are for fags." This happened the same week as Ratner talked sleazily about sleeping with actress Olivia Munn on the "Howard Stern Show," only to admit a few days later that he lied about it all.
Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema looks on concerned as redshirt senior wide receiver Nick Toon lays on the field injured after an incomplete pass. Toon would be one of many injury scares of the night with redshirt junior offensive lineman Peter Konz had to be carted off the field.
Wisconsin's head coach Bret Bielema prepares to lead the team on to the field for their Battle for the Axe.
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.
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.
Excitement is already high with the 2011-'12 Wisconsin men’s basketball season just a few short days away. Looking further ahead, anticipation is building for next season with the Badgers’ signing of the 6 foot 8 inch Sheboygan forward Sam Dekker whom the Badgers signed Wednesday.
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.
It is no secret that the Wisconsin football team prefers to play its games in Madison. But after Saturday’s 62-17 victory over Purdue (2-3 Big Ten 4-5 overall), a victory that came on the heels of two-consecutive losses on the road, it is clear that the Badgers (2-2. 7-2) are a different team inside the confines of Camp Randall Stadium.
Coming into the showdown against Ohio State, the No. 19 Wisconsin football team (2-2 Big Ten, 6-2 overall) was poised to make a statement and redeem itself after a devastating loss at Michigan State. Yet, in spite of the Badgers late rally, the nightmare from MSU returned when Buckeyes freshman quarterback Braxton Miller connected on a 40-yard touchdown to freshman wide receiver Devin Smith to nullify Wisconsin’s incredible comeback and give the Buckeyes a 33-29 victory.
Fuck you. Eat shit.

EAST LANSING, Mich.— Just as quickly as it seemed this team of destiny would come through once more, destiny came up and bit the Wisconsin football team where it hurt most.
