With the emphasis on tradition in college football, the rumors that the flagship school of the Lone Star State could be joining the only BCS conference with a mathematically incorrect name seem just a bit out of place. Such a move would disrupt geographic harmony, cut off rivalries and possibly begin the death of a top conference.
The Wisconsin men's tennis team opened dual season play Saturday with three overwhelming victories over non-conference foes Butler, UW-Whitewater and Green Bay.
For just the second time all season, and the first against a conference foe, the Badgers (5-4 Big Ten, 15-5 overall) dropped a game at the Kohl Center, falling to the Penn State Nittany Lions 54-43 Thursday night.
Coming back from winter recess is typically strange when following the Wisconsin men's basketball team. Before the break, Wisconsin has usually only played games against one or two worthy foes, which means many questions about how good the team is in a given year remain unanswered. Then, many students leave Madison for a month, and by the time they return, the Badgers have then played in five or six Big Ten games, and fans now have a pretty good idea of how the team can play that season. Ironically, the period when most students are out of town is one of the most important stretches of Wisconsin's schedule.
Columnist's note: Last year at this time, this space was used to highlight Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema's responsibility for his team's troubling season. In light of his performance this year, it is only fair that the following is written.
While most students head to cars, buses and airports and head home for a relaxing winter break, the Wisconsin men's basketball team's season trudges on with three more nonconference games, followed by the beginning of its Big Ten schedule.
Last season, the Wisconsin women's basketball team won just five regular season games away from the Kohl Center. This Friday night, the Badgers have a chance to eclipse last season's road victory total with a win over Marquette. That game also marks the conclusion to a brutal 15-day, six-game road trip for the team.
Head coach Bo Ryan and the men's basketball team are reaping all the rewards they deserve after last week's success. The Badgers are coming off arguably one of the biggest wins in the program's recent history, a 73-69 victory over No. 5 Duke Dec 2. Wisconsin followed that with a 33-point victory over Grambling State Saturday.
After finishing the regular season with a 9-5-5 record overall and a third place finish in the Big Ten, the Wisconsin women's soccer team was expecting an NCAA tournament bid. However, it is hard to say if anyone predicted the Badgers would win their first two games of the tournament.
It sounds just like last week: Wisconsin facing a team from Indiana that suffered through a slew of close losses but has been playing well for much of the year.
Cincinnati and Texas, the lone unbeatens in the Big East and the Big-12 respectively, will be put to the test Saturday. Meanwhile, the winner of the USC and Oregon matchup in Eugene will likely produce the frontrunner for the Pac-10 title. With Iowa comfortably leading the Big Ten, some of the middle of the pack teams will try to separate themselves this weekend.
The mantle for Badger athletics is usually carried by football and basketball, two sports that have a certain style to them. Both have an aura of teams that boast less talent than top foes, but can hang with the best due to strong fundamentals, good coaching and a slow-paced, disciplined approach. Furthermore, neither sport was considered a powerhouse in any fashion before 1990, and since have been seen as spunky overachievers.
Last night the NBA season kicked off, and while I'm excited to see how it plays out, there is one major weakness that none of the other ""big three"" sports have: professional basketball does not have real rivalries.
nick: Daily Cardinal cornerback Nick Schmitt is taken down by Herald quarterback Lukas Keapproth. The dirty hit nearly led to a fight.
There are some games in which two bitter rivals battle for every point, trading the lead until one can will its way to a close-fought victory. The Daily Cardinal's 24-7 depantsing of The Badger Herald Friday afternoon was not one of those games.
After having the task of facing two tough Big Ten foes in No. 19 Ohio State and Penn State, the Wisconsin women's soccer team ended its final weekend at home with ties against the Buckeyes (3-1-1 Big Ten 10-2-2 overall) and the Nittany Lions.
Following a tough opening weekend, men's hockey head coach Mike Eaves showed obvious disappointment during a news conference Monday.
Laurie Nosbusch: Sophomore forward Laurie Nosbusch and the Badgers are off to their best conference start since 2000 after defeating Big Ten foes Illinois, Iowa and Indiana. Wisconsin?s next test will be Ohio State.
With USC, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State making early exits from the top five, teams like Miami, Penn State and Mississippi are now receiving national attention. Will these teams keep their place atop the rankings or will they topple under the pressure?
After Wisconsin finished up its blowout of Wofford, head coach Bret Bielema faced a difficult question about his schedule. Was the first non-sellout in 41 games a referendum on the opponent?
