Change was imminent this offseason for men's hockey head coach Mike Eaves, who had seven seniors graduate from a team that played in the national title game and lost two more underclassmen (so far) who decided to forgo a year of eligibility and sign professional contracts.
It's not often a Player of the Year is discouraged from taking slapshots or told by his coach to emulate the most gruntish of NHL role players, Tomas Holmstrom. Few top scorers describe themselves as lighting the lamp almost exclusively via ""ugly goals.""
Freddie Gibbs: Dedicated to his hometown of Gary, Ind., rapper Freddie Gibbs keeps his connections with the lifestyle of growing up on the streets and incorporates it into his work, a sign of authenticity.
""You are now about to witness the power of street knowledge,"" is the line that introduced the world to gangster hip-hop. It demonstrates the necessity of a background on the streets to spit true gangster raps. It establishes street cred and makes reputation an inherent concern for rappers. The eventual suburbanization of the genre into mainstream forms of R&B and rap—ranging from radio-made hitsters like Lil' Jon and Akon to gangsters who moved up to middle- or upper-class society, like Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Common, or Kanye, who has brought the most credibility to suburban rap with his polos and troubles in college—is a response to rappers finding it easier to keep a somewhat clean image and avoid the ire of concerned parents and other more active opponents of potty-mouth lyrics. With labels shrinking and forced to sign artists like the ones mentioned above (who tap into the easiest market to make money off of: suburban kids), gangster rappers who relied on street knowledge to survive only to depict their troubling lifestyles through verses and beats have been relegated to mixtapes.
After receiving initial approval from the Urban Design Commission, representatives of the Edgewater Hotel expansion project faced off with the Plan Commission Monday night in hopes of receiving approval for the redevelopment and construction on the Edgewater.

The Madison Initiative for Undergraduates Shared Governance Oversight Committee and the Student Oversight Committee submitted 31 recommended proposals to Chancellor Biddy Martin in mid-February. That leaves 83 of the original 114 proposals on the outside looking in as Martin is slated to make her final decision on which proposals to fund by the end of March.
It seems like every year around February or March people make the claim that it's the worst time of year. I've heard everything: burnout from school, the not-quite-winter-but-not-quite-spring weather, winter sports winding down, and even that they just hate Valentine's Day with a fiery passion. I, however, love this time of year for one simple reason: shitty movies. Yes, this time of year is perfect for studios to pump out their corny formula comedies or awful book adaptations for audiences who don't know any better. I'm a bit of a film buff myself, and a little research produced some quite surprising news. It appears that UW-Madison itself has been an inspiration for many of these subpar films that come out this time of year. I included titles and summaries from nine of the best ones below:
Never in my life can I remember so much focus from the sports world on hockey than during the Vancouver Olympics. I was completely hooked, leaving games on in my apartment whenever I was home, whether it be the preliminary round or the gold-medal game. People I knew, who ranged from casual hockey fans to apathetic ones, became invested. The national media turned its focus away from college basketball, the NBA and the NFL offseason to the U.S.-Canada gold-medal game. The sport could not have asked for a better showcase.
Anybody who partakes in the relatively vibrant film scene in Madison knows that last weekend was an especially rowdy and diverse few days of cinematic activity. Wes Anderson's ""Fantastic Mr. Fox,"" my personal favorite film of 2009, went over exceptionally well with audiences at Memorial Union's Play Circle, provoking laughter with its unrelentingly pithy writing and awe with the rigorousness of its compositions.
Two storms are brewing on their inevitable paths toward campus. One brings drifts of snow, and the other, if weathered, could bring the Wisconsin's men's basketball team another Big Ten regular season title.
More than 200 students, faculty and family members gathered Wednesday at Lathrop Hall to share memories of Neha Suri, the UW-Madison senior who passed away Tuesday.

After producing mixed results on the road last week and playing its first two games without injured junior forward Jon Leuer, No. 19 Wisconsin returns home for a two-game stretch, beginning tonight against Michigan.
Freddie Gibbs, a straight-off-the-streets mix-tape rapper from Gary, Ind., is one of the biggest anomalies in the rap game. He's not for people who enjoy pop/rap stuff, even though his production can sound similarly over-the-top at times. The beats evoke constant swagger as a foundation, and his flows, though raw and crude in subject matter, are even more crisp, polished and ambitious. In spite of his delivery, which ranges from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to Lil' Wayne in pace, fans of classic gangster rap will have a hard time looking past such ornamented production and hard-knock content.
