Bielema: Hill handling all the pressure fine
(10/23/06 6:00am)
As games with 150-plus rushing yards and multiple touchdowns have become commonplace for Wisconsin freshman running back P.J. Hill, so too have the Ron Dayne comparisons and Heisman-candidacy murmurs surrounding him. A first-year player like Hill might be expected to have trouble with such attention, and head football coach Bret Bielema addressed the concern at his Monday press conference.
Momentum helps UW take down Purdue
(10/22/06 6:00am)
WEST LAFAYETTE, IND.—In a close football game, there are two things that can easily change the outcome: momentum and capitalizing on the other team's missed opportunities. While Saturday's 24-3 win in West Lafayette was not as flashy as the past three wins for the Badgers, they took advantage of key opportunities to beat Purdue.
UW faces challenge at Purdue
(10/19/06 6:00am)
The last time the Wisconsin Badgers traveled to West Lafayette, Ind., senior defensive backs Robert Brooks and Scott Starks hit Purdue quarterback Kyle Orton with just over two minutes remaining, forcing him to fumble away the ball and the game, as Starks picked up the loose ball and dashed 40 yards for the game-winning, season-saving score. The play was eventually named Pontiac's Game Changing Performance of the Year, providing proof that a Wisconsin miracle had given the country goosebumps.

Leave Leckrone alone
(10/15/06 6:00am)
After the release of last week's allegations against the marching band, one thing is obvious: The University of Wisconsin Marching Band Director Michael Leckrone should not be blamed for the hazing actions of band members.
Wisconsin uses momentum to avoid letdown
(10/15/06 6:00am)
The Badgers carried their prior two weeks' success on offense into this week's game against Minnesota, blowing out the beleaguered Gophers 48-12 to retain possession of Paul Bunyan's Axe.
Priority No. 1: defend the Axe
(10/12/06 6:00am)
Ever since the thrilling conclusion to last season's matchup between the No. 25 Wisconsin football team (2-1 Big Ten, 5-1 overall) and Minnesota (0-3, 2-4), the two teams have gone in drastically different directions.
Now a Jaguar, Starks remembers Badger glory
(10/12/06 6:00am)
On Nov. 15, 1890, the Badgers took the field in Minneapolis in the first game played in what is now the longest rivalry in college football history. Over a hundred years of wars in the trenches, game winning kicks and heralded running attacks. We need only look back to last season's Jonathan Casillas ""punt block heard round the world"" to understand what makes the battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe so special.
Jonathan Casillas: more than just a punt-blocker
(10/12/06 6:00am)
A Division I athlete on a college campus doesn't have to do or say a whole lot to be considered down-to-earth. He has to nod indiscriminately to fans as he passes, dole out verbal salutations with liberty and award a select but sizable few a high-, low-, or medium-five if and whenever possible.
Badgers now ranked
(10/09/06 6:00am)
As the Wisconsin football team made its season debut in the AP rankings this week at No. 25, head coach Bret Bielema used much of his Monday press conference to take stock of the season—now at its halfway point—thus far.
Relaxed attitude helps Badgers defeat Northwestern
(10/08/06 6:00am)
In the first half against Northwestern, Wisconsin surrendered nine points, muffed a punt and turned the ball over three times. So in spite of a strong second half, the Badgers had plenty of mistakes to dwell on after the game. Instead, following a 41-9 win over the Wildcats, they were pleasantly casual.
Strong finish propels UW past Wildcats
(10/08/06 6:00am)
The Wisconsin Badger football team's opponent Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall Stadium was, indeed, Northwestern, but through the first half it was merely playing against itself.
Wildcats searching for offense, wins
(10/05/06 6:00am)
The Badgers are not likely to get too worked up over tomorrow's game at home against Northwestern. They don't have much to prove, as a win this weekend would not prove much of anything.
Following Ann Arbor roadtrip, ‘old people’ can feel free to stay in their seats
(10/04/06 6:00am)
There's nothing quite like a car ride from Milwaukee to Ann Arbor, Mich. The picturesque scenery of Gary, Ind., bumper-to-bumper traffic on Interstate 80, and an abundance of Illinois tollways are enough to make watching the ""Golden Girls"" marathon seem like a good time.
Stocco’s performance praised
(10/02/06 6:00am)
As they had been in weeks prior, senior quarterback John Stocco and the Wisconsin offense were a central topic of discussion Monday at head football coach Bret Bielema's weekly press conference. The usual skepticism surrounding the unit's competence was absent, however, as Stocco had just been named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week for leading the Badgers to a 52-17 thrashing at Indiana Saturday.
