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.
With the first BCS standings coming out on Sunday, this week's slate of college football games are of extra importance.
Coming off of a seemingly ho-hum Sweet 16 run in 2011, the Wisconsin men's basketball heads into the 2011-‘12 campaign with high hopes. While they do have to replace the contributions made last season by senior forwards Jon Leuer and Keaton Nankivil, the Badgers bring back their entire starting backcourt as well as key role players Mike Bruesewitz, Ryan Evans, and Jared Berggren, all of whom expect to make an even greater impact on the floor.

The Wisconsin men's tennis team (3-3 Big Ten, 9-10 overall) started off its four-match homestand superbly wirh a 4-3 upset over No. 60 Purdue (1-6, 10-11) Friday, but they were unable to get another upset after falling to No. 27 Indiana (7-0, 20-4) Sunday 4-3.
Not much was expected from the Wisconisn men's basketball team this season, certainly not a 25-9 finish, a win over No. 1 Ohio State and a Sweet 16 berth. The loss of guards Trevon Hughes and Jason Bohannon, who combined for 40 percent of last year's scoring, had many thinking that a rebuilding year was coming.
When it was announced that a Penn State men's hockey program would begin play for the 2012-'13 season, it was assumed that the establishment of a Big Ten men's hockey conference wouldn't be far behind. The addition of the Nittany Lions gives the Big Ten the six-team minimum required to hold a conference championship in Division I men's hockey.
The Wisconsin women's basketball team (8-3 Big Ten, 13-10 overall) hosts Northwestern (4-6 Big Ten, 15-8 overall) Thursday night at 7 p.m. The game will be a rematch between two teams that saw each other 11 days ago when the Badgers handled the Wildcats 62-50 in Evanston, Ill.
After a heartbreaking overtime loss in East Lansing earlier this season, the Badgers seek revenge when the Michigan State Spartans invade the Kohl Center this Sunday.
The Penn State men's basketball team moved closer to making its first NCAA tournament since 2001 by beating the Badgers Sunday, something the Nittany Lions haven't accomplished in 8 years.. Led by four starting seniors and with a tenacious defensive effort, the Nittany Lions outlasted Wisconsin 56-52, defeating their fourth-straight Big Ten foe at home.
Beware the man who has nothing to lose. That is certainly the case for the No. 8 Wisconsin men's hockey team (9-7-2 WCHA, 17-8-3 overall) as they travel to Houghton, Mich., for a date with WCHA rival Michigan Tech (1-14-3, 3-18-3). The Badgers are riding high right now and playing their best hockey of the season, but they can't make the mistake of falling into the trap of overlooking a struggling Huskies team, especially on the road.
The 2009-'10 season was the best for Wisconsin wrestling in recent history. It was a season that saw the team earn a fourth place finish at last year's NCAA Wrestling Championships, tying for the best finish in school history. The team was honored with four All-Americans, including undefeated NCAA National Champion sophomore Andrew Howe (165 pounds). In addition to that, head coach Barry Davis was named National Wrestling Coaches Association Coach of the Year.
My how far they have come. When you look at what the No. 9 Wisconsin men's hockey team has done since their disastrous month of November, you can't help but be impressed. The Badgers have now won 10 of their past 11 games, but its how they're winning that shows much they have grown as a team.
Head coach Mike Eaves said before the No. 9 Wisconsin men's hockey team's (7-7-2 WCHA, 15-8-3 overall) two-week winter break that the team would come back a reinvigorated group. As the Badgers head into their fourth series since break this weekend against conference foe Minnesota State-Mankato (4-9-3, 10-9-5) they find themselves in the midst of their best stretch of the season, and Eaves has to be pleased with what he has seen thus far out of his young squad.
Heading into the two-week winter break, the No. 9 Wisconsin men's hockey team was searching for the consistency that would push them to the next level, especially from their core of younger, inexperienced players.
The Badgers' men's basketball team soundly defeated in-state foe, the UW-Milwaukee Panthers, by a score of 61-40 Wednesday night.

It's official, Pasadena and the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs lay ahead for the 11-1 Badgers. While TCU was left out of the BCS Championship game, the Mountain West champions are about as formidable a foe as Wisconsin could face.
