Game Column: Win validates TCU but not every non-AQ team

PASADENA, Calif. – A popular topic in many of the interviews after TCU's victory in the Rose Bowl was the idea that the team was playing this game for more than just their school. The Horned Frogs were playing, this story goes, for the little guys – programs from non-automatic qualifying conferences (like themselves) who don't get a chance to play for a national title.

ESPN Shop calls its Rose Bowl champion

Website lists Wisconsin Rose Bowl Championship shirts for sale

It became pretty apparent today who ESPN predicts to win the Rose Bowl Jan. 1. Either that or some employee in the ESPN Shop department might be losing their job pretty soon.

Return to Pasadena

This matchup may not have the classic Big Ten-Pac 10 feel a la the UW Rose Bowls of the 1990s, but make no mistake: These two teams are explosive.

Likely Rose Bowl opponent an unlikely center of attention

Assuming No. 1 Auburn asserts the perceived superiority of the SEC's Western division in the conference title game against South Carolina, and No. 2 Oregon manages to survive the Civil War against Oregon State Saturday, the Badgers will play TCU in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day. Anything but this situation would be the result of a shocking weekend in the college football world.

After a short stint at home in front of the Grateful Red, the Badgers make their first road trip of the young season as they travel to the desert for a dual with the Running Rebels of UNLV Saturday night.

Walker's request to ban biofuel is ignorant

Unlike the children who spend at least five minutes crafting their Christmas lists to Santa, Governor-elect Scott Walker did not spend much time thinking through his wish list to Gov. Doyle. Last week, Gov.-elect Walker sent a letter current Gov. Doyle's administration with list of requests. Besides the fact that giving a list of policy demands to a sitting governor is unprecedented and arguably unconstitutional, Walker's letter to Doyle is uneducated, arrogant and makes requests that undoubtedly harm Wisconsin's growth and economy. His list includes a ""freeze"" of any federal health-care bill implementations, suspending employee contracts, hiring new civil service positions and a vague message insisting a shift to natural gas from biofuel at the Charter Street Heating Plant.

Drum corps are so hardcore

With its loud playing, fun spirit and unmatchable style, the UW Marching Band is a staple of the UW-Madison's campus. You would be hard pressed to find anyone, even a freshman, who hasn't heard the band play. Yet an entirely separate world of marching music exists outside of the university setting, one that very few people have heard of: Drum corps. As much a physical sport as an arts activity, marching music's ""major league"" is an intense, highly demanding activity that explores a new frontier of the arts. I experienced this hidden marching world when I saw the Drum Corps International Championships in Indianapolis this past August.

Brewers must make choice on future of Fielder this off-season

As a general rule, I will try to avoid rambling on, column after column, talking about the Brewers and the Packers. However, something happened at Miller Park on Sunday afternoon (yes, they're still playing baseball in Milwaukee) that—though it was not necessarily surprising—caught my attention.
