Expectations were not high for the Wisconsin football team at the outset of the 2006 season. But, under the guidance of first-year head coach Bret Bielema, the Badgers had a banner year. The team looks to punctuate it with a strong showing against Arkansas at the Capital One Bowl Jan. 1 in Orlando, Fla.
After two weeks of knowing it would play in the Capital One Bowl Jan 1. in Orlando, Fla., the UW football team (7-1 Big Ten, 11-1 overall) hit the practice fields Tuesday for the first time since finding out it would face Arkansas (8-2 SEC, 10-3 overall).
The UW Athletic Department suspended football cornerback Jack Ikegwuonu for violating the student-athlete discipline policy Friday, after he was arrested for burglary while allegedly attempting to steal an Xbox last week in Illinois.
The Wisconsin football team (7-1 Big Ten, 11-1 overall) discovered Sunday it will play Arkansas (7-2 SEC, 10-3) in the Capital One Bowl Jan. 1 in Orlando. Although there is little history between the two teams, as they have played each other only once, UW head coach Bret Bielema is happy with the matchup.
The Wisconsin football team accepted its second straight bid to the Capital One Bowl last Tuesday. While the Badgers are in the top eight in the Bowl Championship Series rankings, a rule precluding three teams from the same conference going to a BCS bowl resigned the Badgers to another trip to Orlando.
We've all heard about the accolades and the honors. Eleven wins, best in school history. Bret Bielema, best-ever rookie Big Ten coach. Entering a season with an abundance of question marks, the Badgers somehow answered everything, except that one in Ann Arbor, Mich. But now they sit at an impressive eight spot in the Bowl Championship Series and on their way to a second consecutive Capital One Bowl, right? Well, pretty much. But not really.
In sports, it is important to win the ""easy"" games, and this season's Badger football team has done just that, closing its season with a victory over Buffalo Saturday.
Saturday will be the last time 18 of the UW seniors will take the field for the cardinal and white as they welcome the Bulls from Buffalo, N.Y. to Camp Randall Stadium.
When I opened my eyes and glanced out my window last Saturday morning, I saw fellow students chugging bottles of O'Douls. Certain that I was hallucinating, I stumbled into the kitchen where I found the shelves stocked with nothing but green vegetables and tofu burgers. Still perplexed, I plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV. Instead of seeing Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and the rest of the ESPN Gameday crew, I watched in horror as Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh locked lips in a passionate make-out session. Just when O'Reilly began to tug at Limbaugh's tie, I woke up.
For the past three seasons, one man has anchored the left side of UW's offensive line. Whether it be opening a gaping hole for running backs Anthony Davis, Brian Calhoun and P.J. Hill, or protecting the blind side of quarterback John Stocco, senior left tackle Joe Thomas has served as a force of reliability for the offense.
When Barry Alvarez announced Bret Bielema would be taking over for him as the Badgers' head coach, there seemed to be a reluctant acceptance throughout Wisconsin. Badger fans knew the defense the year before; stars like Erasmus James, Jimmy Leonhard and Anttaj Hawthorne were stellar, but no one knew much about UW's defensive coordinator.
The UW football team's slow and steady climb up the polls took an impressive step this week, as the Badgers (7-1 Big Ten, 10-1 overall) used former national-title hopefuls Louisville, Texas, Auburn and California as footholds in their ascent to No. 9 in the Bowl Championship Series rankings. The ranking is Wisconsin's highest in exactly two years—UW was also No. 9 in the Nov. 14, 2004 BCS poll.
IOWA CITY, IOWA—Wisconsin's 24-21 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday was full of surprise, suspense and individual records—all leading to a Badger victory.
UW football head coach Bret Bielema addressed the media Monday, discussing a number of issues facing his team as the Badgers (6-1 Big Ten, 9-1 overall) prepare for their last conference game of the season.
Penn State senior running back Tony Hunt entered Saturday's game against the Badgers averaging nearly 100 yards per game and having scored 10 touchdowns. Junior quarterback Anthony Morelli has only thrown for seven touchdowns so far this season, and the second highest touchdown total on the team is two, held by sophomore wide receiver Deon Butler.
Monkey Trouble!
The Wisconsin Badgers improved to 9-1 overall and 6-1 in Big Ten play with a 13-3 win over Penn State Saturday. In a game reminiscent of the glory days of Big Ten smash-mouth football, the biggest collision of the game came on the Penn State sideline.
There may not be a big BCS controversy (yet) this season, but this year of college football has been one of the best in recent history. Brawls, comebacks, terrible seasons for Miami and Florida State, you name it, this season has had more interesting storylines than most. Many of the stories have yet to be finished.
Halloween is now over, and for many it's time to celebrate all saints that aren't from New Orleans. For me, I would like to stay within the sports realm and rather celebrate the best sports-related costumes from the weekend.
Wisconsin freshman running back P.J. Hill was once again a central topic of discussion at head football coach Bret Bielema's Monday press conference, as Bielema fielded questions concerning Hill's health and a post-game comment he made about Hill needing to take some ""toughen-up pills.""
