Round One in the Big Ten heavyweight championship fight takes place Tuesday night, when Illinois brings their No. 1 ranking and undefeated record into Madison to face No. 18 Wisconsin. 

'Precinct' assaults with tension, drama

It is a historical irony that the tale of the Alamo, despite being one of the more severe and lopsided losses in American history, has also forced itself among the most patriotic moments in American history. The reason is because it is a story of a small band of unlikely people of all backgrounds, coming together to stand against a common foe. 

UW men look to snap Wolverine streak

Thanks to a thrilling victory over then No.12 Michigan State at the Kohl Center Saturday, the Badgers extended their home winning streak to 38 games-currently the nation's longest-and gave themselves the opportunity to make it 39 when top-ranked Illinois comes to Madison Tuesday night.  

Women's hoopsters struggle early against Big Ten foes

Men's soccer kickin' it in GB

For the Wisconsin men's soccer team, the month of October has been a microcosm of their season so far-fairly mediocre. The Badgers-despite going 3-3 this month-have struggled in the conference of late, going 1-3. They have a chance to rebound this weekend when they take on in-state rival UW-Green Bay on the road tonight. 

Badgers on a bye, getting healthy, looking to bowl

When studying the schedule prior to the start of this year's season, most people felt Wisconsin's best break came in that they did not have to face Michigan. The Wolverines are the only other undefeated team in conference play. But after the first eight weeks of the season, the bye week seems just as important as not facing the Maize and Blue. 

First amendment gives license for all sides of an issue to be heard

Last Saturday night, filmmaker and left-wing advocate Michael Moore came to UW-Madison and publicly exercised his First Amendment rights. He championed mostly liberal causes, including universal health care for Americans, women's reproductive rights, same-sex marriage, and pulling American troops out of Iraq. He criticized President Bush and his Cabinet for promoting policies that favor the wealthy and alienate the poor and middle-class. He told the spectators \President Kerry"" sounds much better than ""President Bush.""  

Badgers perched atop a conference of parity

With five weeks left in the Big Ten season, the conference has seen some big surprises and some not-so-big surprises. Ohio State fell from grace while Wisconsin exceeded expectations as 11 teams battle for the Rose Bowl. 

Hasler has all the answers

We've reached that point in the year when all the major sports in this country seem to make a conscientious attempt to completely flunk the entire male population of college students out of school by assaulting them with a barrage of amazing storylines and can't-miss match-ups.

Lakers look to challenge WCHA foes

As with the start of the 2003-'04 season, the Wisconsin Badgers will open the 2004-'05 campaign with a team they know very little about. Last year it was Quinnipiac, this year it is the Mercyhurst Lakers, from a small east coast conference called Atlantic Hockey. However, as the Badgers found out a season ago, teams from this conference are certainly not pushovers, and Mercyhurst will not be a cake walk. 

What if UW went Orange?

Albert Einstein was once quoted as saying, \I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."" Einstein, however, was conveniently unavailable for comment when asked, ""But what if you're favorite college football team is undefeated halfway through its season, and they have only one truly formidable opponent standing in the way of their first-ever Orange Bowl berth?""

Illinois looks to end Big Ten losing streak

It takes only a little less than four hours to drive 250 miles-the distance from Champaign-Urbana, Ill., home of the University of Illinois Fighting Illini, to Madison. However, for the Illinois football team, 250 miles in four hours is farther than the team has traveled all season.
