Talking on the phone, Angus Andrew sounds like an author. The lanky singer for the experimental art-noise band Liars is terrifically eloquent, but it's not just the way he talks—Andrew thinks like an author, too. He's much more willing to discuss the thematic constructs and narrative bones of his music than time signatures or chord changes.

When that game is essentially a glorified practice, excitement can be very difficult to find.
In Wisconsin's annual Spring Game Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall Stadium, the Cardinal squad, comprised of the starters, were winners over the White squad, but only in terms of the score, 33-11. On both sides of the ball and between both squads, the general sentiment following the final spring practice of the year was disappointment.
Less than an hour after the Badgers' last game, senior forward Blake Geoffrion said something that set his team apart.
