For a while Saturday afternoon I thought the events that had transpired at the Kohl Center brought out nothing but the best this university has to offer. Then I read this on Twitter:
After surviving a crucial road test at Iowa on Wednesday night, Wisconsin (8-3 Big Ten, 18-5 overall) has finally set its sights on taking down No. 1. With the anticipation as high as ever, the undefeated Buckeyes will try to win in Madison for the first time since Bo Ryan took over as UW's head coach in 2001.
How does society stop a murderer? In the wake of the shooting in Arizona by Jared Lee Loughner, it leaves one perturbed by the fact that some members of our society are suffering from mental illnesses that may cause such violent behavior. Recently, there have been drastic cuts in educational funding, including mental health counselors in many schools across America. Michael Fitzpatrick, the Executive Director for National Alliance on Mental Illness ,issued a statement saying that although the likelihood of violence from people with mental illness is low, ""Arizona, like other states, has deeply cut mental health services. Arizona has a broad civil commitment law to require treatment if it is needed; however, the law cannot work if an evaluation is never conducted or mental health services are not available.""
In the aftermath of the shootings in Tucson, Ariz., last week, Americans of all races, ideologies, and creeds came together to remember those who lost their lives and those who were still recovering. President Obama called for prayer and reflection in a moving speech shortly after the incident.
Within all of us exists an inner beast, one that pokes its snarling head in moments of rage and greed. Most of us learn, for better or worse, to suppress that monstrous instinct and act civilly. But for others the creature refuses to be suppressed any longer, growing like a cancerous tumor until the distinction between the person and the animal within dissolves.
Immediately following the Badgers' 83-20 trouncing of Indiana last Saturday, accusations of poor sportsmanship began to rain down upon head coach Bret Bielema and his team.
While the North Dakota Fighting Sioux looked stellar on the ice in a series sweep of the Badgers last weekend, the hardwood should tell a completely different tale as the Badgers play host to North Dakota Tuesday night.
Returning home on a cold, blustery day at Camp Randall, the No. 7 Wisconsin offense caught fire as UW cruised to an 83-20 victory over the Indiana Hoosiers.
By the time junior third-string quarterback Nate Tice plunged into the endzone on a 17-yard bootleg with 1:57 showing on the clock, the only question that remained was whether 83 push-ups would be too much for Bucky to handle.
As the Badger men's basketball team closed out their exhibition season late this week, they begin preparations for their first regular season game against Prairie View A&M this Sunday at the Kohl Center. In previous seasons, Wisconsin has been able to handle their opening game with ease, defending their home court against a non-conference opponent in each of the past three seasons.
Wisconsin men's basksetball closed out their exhibition slate in style on Wednesday, cruising to a 93-59 win over Division II Minnesota State-Mankato.
Short of a visit from the nation's commander-in-chief, the buzz surrounding Saturday's match between the No. 18 Wisconsin Badgers (1-1 Big Ten, 5-5 overall) and the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes 2-0, 6-0) is as palpable as any campus event this year. With an evening start, a national television audience and a top-ranked opponent in the house, the atmosphere is sure to be electric from sun-up to well past dark.
With most of the top teams in the nation facing sub-par conference foes, the discussion of meaningful games is more diverse than ever this week. A sell out crowd of scarlet and cream plan to husk Big XII rival Texas down to size in Lincoln, Neb.; the flawless Auburn Tigers, under the leadership of a junior transfer student, scheme to oust the Razorbacks; the undefeated Spartans hope to remain perfect as an underestimated Illini squad storms into East Lansing, Mich. following their monumentous Big Ten upset last week; and Iowa's tenacious defense looks to control Michigan's surging offense in Ann Arbor, Mich. Even without the majority of top ranked teams playing against stiff competition, this week still promises a fair share of excitement and intrigue.
In a season filled with inconsistency on the offensive side of the ball, the Badgers' football team has found a youthful surge beginning to emerge through the first five games.
Kendricks : Pass catchers like tight end Lance Kendricks and wide recieiver Jared Abbrederis have had to fill the void left by Nick Toon and David Gilreath, who are both injured
Injuries affect any football team over the course of a season, and the Badgers have been no exception. Through the first three games of the year the Badgers have sustained injuries to both of their starting wide receivers, junior Nick Toon and senior David Gilreath. In their absence, the team's other receivers have had to fill the void in the passing game created by their injuries.
1: Response of the defense
After last year's record of 10-3 in his first season starting, senior quarterback Scott Tolzien looked poised to have a breakout year behind center. However, a slow start with turnover troubles, mental misques and an injured receiving corps has fans and opponents alike wondering if Tolzien and the Badger passing game will ever reach its full potential.
