Both Indiana and Wisconsin come in to Wednesday night's matchup struggling and in desperate need of a victory. They have both slipped lately, but the season is not yet lost for either team.
With games like 'Far Cry,' 'F.E.A.R.' and of course 'Half-Life 2' doing so much for the first-person shooter genre, it is easy to forget the true pioneers. The following games earn recognition not only because they are really great games, but because each one contributed something to the industry, either via software or hardware. Come back with me and let's revisit the top five most important FPSs of all time.
Flogging Molly came to town and played a show at Memorial Union Friday night. I was at the concert and decided I might share some thoughts on it with you, but I've been told concert reviews are largely useless. Even if such a review convinces you that the show was worth attending, you are, first, too late to do anything about it, and second, in want of a time machine. Therefore, I will not review the show itself, other than to say it was a jolly good time.
Some diligent readers of The Daily Cardinal may have noticed that 'Conorable Mention' did not run last Friday. For this I am deeply sorry-but I do have a reason.
The major media outlets in the nation all took notice when the Badger men's basketball team dropped Saturday's game to the lowly Bison of North Dakota State.
With a sentimental, soulful sound and gripping lyrics, it's no wonder that Mary J. Blige's latest album The Breakthrough reached number one on the Billboard chart less than two weeks after its debut.
Since when has it become cool to wear 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' shirts, reminisce about the days of 'Transformers' or brag to your buddies about 'up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start' (Nintendo Contra 30-life code), but it is completely un-cool to mention how you still watch 90s Disney movies?
With Wisconsin's 'Defense of Marriage' amendment likely to go to voters in November, groups on both sides of the debate are working to develop action networks that they hope will sway the hearts and minds of Wisconsinites and ultimately bring victory to their own side.
I can remember the first time he taught me how to run a receiver's route. The out-of-bounds were marked with white birches and blue spruces. I lined up to his right, my six-year-old frame ending somewhere around his waist. Eyes focused, he slapped the ball and hopped backward. I sprinted forward, cut to my left and snapped my head over my shoulder, arms outstretched into the air.
Whoa nelly.
The worst thing about receiving a bad present is not knowing how to react or look natural when you open it. Christmas Eve is a pretext to stare at the mirror mimicking all your possible reactions. It's a time to practice forced smiles, exaggerated laughs, and the fake 'thank you.'
The past year saw many developments in the world of video gaming. Nintendo finally found a competitor to their Game Boy in Sony's PlayStation Portable, and Microsoft created the successor to the Xbox with the 360. These events alone ensure creativity, unique games and general awesomeness for years down the road.
After wins against Eastern Kentucky, Old Dominion, the Washington Mystics and the Connecticut Sun, the Badgers find themselves off to a 4-0 start in 2005 season. UW takes its unblemished record into Winston-Salem, N.C., tonight to (as far as I'm concerned) kick off the regular season against 24th-ranked Wake Forest in the seventh annual Big Ten-ACC Challenge.
Dear Hangover ~
Every red-blooded American loves an underdog. There's something about a rags-to-riches story that grabs the American interest. When Boston was down three games to none against the Yankees two Octobers ago, there wasn't a soul who didn't want them to pull off a Cinderella victory. Now, I think I can say that with conviction because, according to research, I'm fairly certain that Yankee fans don't have souls.

For the film 'Mrs. Robinson,' Simon and Garfunkel created an entire slew of songs for the soundtrack that functioned as plot progression for the movie, but, on their own, they were excellent and formed a complete album. The same can be said for the latest Depeche Mode effort Playing the Angel, while each song is strikingly unique, yet they all contain a pulsating rhythm that flows with the synthesized beats throughout the album.
\There is a scene I've heard people criticize,"" Michael Showalter said of the cult hit ""Wet Hot American Summer"" in a recent interview with Newsweek. ""My character slips on a banana peel. Our joke is: We did a banana-peel joke. That's kind of an esoteric joke. It's a joke about comedy.""
It seems to me that fantasy football is one of those things football fans are now obligated to do. It doesn't seem like we have a choice. ESPN has all those commercials for it. It's impossible to get on Yahoo! and um... research a paper without being bombarded by sign-ups for leagues. So, like a good football fan, I succumbed again this year. The guys in my house and a few extras signed up for a league on Yahoo!.
