Head coach Kelly Sheffield didn’t sugarcoat anything in his Monday press conference.
Week six of College Football was full of scoring, as a multitude of defenses were beat by 40-plus, 50-plus and even 70-plus points (78 to be exact—looking at you, Rutgers). Teams are now setting up for the meat of their schedules, as conference play is making teams show up or be shown out.
It’s been a while since the Badgers have faced off against their old Michigan rivals. One week after playing Michigan State for the first time since the thrilling 2012 Big Ten Championship game, Wisconsin will battle the Michigan Wolverines for the first time since 2010.
The No. 11 Wisconsin Badgers (1-0 Big Ten, 4-0 overall) continued to roll on Saturday, upsetting the No. 8 Michigan State Spartans (0-1, 2-1) in East Lansing, Mich., 30-6.
It was another topsy-turvy week for Big Ten football, with both highs and lows for some of the conference’s top teams. Ohio State, Michigan State and Nebraska all picked up impressive non-conference wins, while Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin made asses of themselves on national television. As a result, we have a little shifting around in this week’s power rankings.
Statements were made on Saturday, and there was plenty of movement in the college football world on Sunday. After another weekend of action, which featured everything from kickoff returns to #SurrenderCobras, there is still little movement between the top teams in college football. Obviously it is just one weekend in a long season, but if teams such as Louisville can indicate they belong in the College Football Playoff Picture, then the Alabama Crimson Tide should be fearful that their spot at the top of college football is threatened by a deeper elite tier.
The Badgers will open Big Ten play this week against a foe that follows them from the basketball court to the gridiron, Mark Dantonio’s No. 12- ranked Michigan State Spartans. The two teams haven’t played on a football field since Michigan State’s 16-13 overtime victory in 2012, but the Badgers look to add a win in the all-time series that stands 30-22, in favor of the Spartans.
Aside from Northwestern losing to Illinois State on a last-second field goal—and a field goal that banked off a goal post at that—it was a relatively ho-hum week for the Big Ten. Twelve of the conference’s teams won, the Wildcats dropped a stunner to their FCS foe and Purdue was thumped by a slightly above-average opponent from a non-Power Five conference (as is tradition). Because of this, not much changed in this week’s power rankings.
After a season that saw the Wisconsin soccer team win only five of its 19 games, the Badgers have reason to be cautiously optimistic heading into the 2016 campaign.
The Wisconsin Badgers (8-5-1 Big Ten, 23-17-1 overall) will finally get to return to Goodman Diamond this weekend for an extended period of time, as their series against Illinois is the beginning of an eight-game home stand.
“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has been a highly anticipated movie since it was first announced. As the follow-up to Zack Snyder’s polarizing film “Man of Steel,” the time leading up to the next installment in the DC Cinematic Universe was ripe with debate. Who will win, Batman or Superman? Will this film make up for the missteps in “Man of Steel?” Will it be successful? With the film having flown into theaters on March 25, we have some answers to those questions—sort of.
The Daily Cardinal sports staff takes a look at five pressing questions leading into Wisconsin’s first-round matchup with Pittsburgh in the NCAA Tournament.
Six-seeded Wisconsin and 10-seeded Pittsburgh will meet for the 18th time Friday in St. Louis, Mo., in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The teams haven’t played since 2006, when the Badgers won 89-75 at the Kohl Center when Wisconsin was ranked No. 7 and Pitt ranked No. 2.
Player to Watch: Kris Dunn, Providence
The season continues on for the No. 2 Wisconsin Badgers (35-3-1) as they punched their ticket to a third consecutive Frozen Four appearance, defeating Mercyhurst (19-11-5) in the NCAA quarterfinals 6-0.
The Wisconsin Badgers (3-11 Big Ten, 7-17 overall) haven’t won a lot. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t going to try to finish on a strong note.
Last spring when Michala Johnson decided to forgo playing for the New York Liberty of the WNBA, Wisconsin head coach Bobbie Kelsey was ecstatic, and for good reason. The team was getting back a player who only two years earlier led the Badgers in both points and rebounds per game. And while Johnson was coming off her second ACL tear in the past five years, it wasn’t that long ago she was a first-team All-Big Ten performer.
After suffering back-to-back two-game sweeps against Penn State and Minnesota, the Badgers (1-7-2 Big Ten, 4-12-6 overall) will look to right the ship this weekend with the Alaska Nanooks (5-11-4 WCHA, 7-13-4 overall) in town.
From the moment he took over as interim head coach, Greg Gard has been fighting an uphill battle.
Often lost in the craziness of all the bowl games and national title talks is just how interesting the matchups can be. Historical powerhouses that rarely see each other get a chance to face off, and the Holiday Bowl between Wisconsin (6-2 Big Ten, 9-3 overall) and USC (5-4 Pac-12, 8-5 overall) is a prime showcase.
