Late in the third quarter of Saturday’s Badgers triumph at Michigan State, one Badgers fan made a crucial play that would seal the Badgers commanding lead for good.
The Wisconsin Badgers (1-2-1 Big Ten, 4-4-4 overall) went on their first conference road trip of the season this past weekend, defeating Purdue (1-2-0, 3-6-0) and falling to Indiana (2-2-0, 5-6-1).
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.
Few teams have been able to make this Wisconsin Badgers’ defense (3-0) look vulnerable in the last few seasons, but the Georgia State Panthers found a way to do it last week, at least for a few quarters. Their quick passing attack, combined with double moves and deep shots on the outside, stretched the defense horizontally and vertically.
There’s nothing that gets the blood pumping quite like a full-fledged quarterback controversy as your team is about to enter the gauntlet in conference play.
Once again, I found myself alone at a concert. I do thoroughly enjoy attending shows by myself and I happen to do it more frequently than most. However, as I biked up to the fading festivities of Live On King Street, I was quite skeptical about how the night would turn out. These doubts were brushed aside as I entered the Majestic. The infectious energy from LOKS was carried in by the large and boisterous crowd, and my excitement for the start-of-the-fall concert season overtook me. With the familiar ache of my camera strap on my shoulder, I found a spot on the balcony to observe the audience. With Frightened Rabbit nearly sold-out, the room felt electric.
The Wisconsin Badgers (3-2-3) are riding a two-game win streak to open Big Ten play on Friday against No. 19 Ohio State (6-2-0) at the McClimon Soccer Complex. After taking down South Dakota State 1-0 in double overtime last week Friday, the Badgers traveled to Loyola on Saturday and shut out the Ramblers 2-0.
Saturday was a day full of impressive individual efforts leading to overall team dominance, as the Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Akron Zips 54-10. When trying to pick a MVP from a game like the Badgers’ victory over Akron, one can more or less just choose a name at the top of any positional breakdown and one wouldn’t necessarily be wrong. Corey Clement’s first 100-yard-plus performance in a long while, Bart Houston’s 92.5 quarterback rating, nearly the entire defense—all would be legitimate selections as the most valuable performance in the Badgers’ win.
Sophomore Alan Johnson, the man in the Bucky Badger suit, took off the mascot head and threw it down in disgust upon completing his 54th push-up after Wisconsin’s final touchdown Saturday.
Coming out of camp true freshman Anthony Lotti won the starting punter competition over redshirt sophomore P.J. Rosowski. Lotti, a two-time, first team all-state selection by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, came to Wisconsin as a three-star recruit replacing senior Drew Meyer, the Badgers’ kicker last season. On 49 punts in high school last season, Lotti averaged 45.4 yards per punt, including 19 punts inside the 20-yard line and 15 punts of 50-plus yards.
Week 1 of the 2016 college football season is officially in the books, and what a week it was.
The year 2016 has, so far, proven to be an extremely difficult one. Through the first eight months we have witnessed horrifying terrorist attacks both domestically and abroad, a civil war that has left millions in a state of crisis, an attempted military coup, an Olympic games in a politically torn nation and great political and racial tensions here in the United States.
For the general population, satellites are simply there to help watch T.V., text, for the conspiracy theorists, spying or for a Skynet-esque takeover.
College football is officially back, which means the race for a Big Ten title is technically anyone’s to win (yes, even you, Purdue). There is no shortage of intriguing storylines heading into the year. Can Jim Harbaugh lead Michigan to its first conference title since 2004? Will Ohio State be able to stay in the national title picture despite only returning three starters? Can Michigan State win back-to-back Big Ten titles for the first time in 50 years? Will Iowa prove that 2015 was no fluke? Which team will capture the conference crown and earn the right to be steamrolled by Alabama in the College Football Playoff? All those questions and more will begin to be answered when Big Ten football gets back into full swing this weekend.
The first year of college can be a challenge. Being an out-of-state student at a school that’s predominantly populated by in-state kids can be an even bigger challenge. For the most part, you’re far from home, you know relatively few people when you first enroll and you feel like you have little in common with a lot of people. With the right attitude, however, being from another region of the world can be immensely rewarding and eye-opening. Here’s how: Drop the Skype call, and nobody gets hurt.
The afternoon rush began with eager fans waiting outside of Shannon Hall an hour and a half before the event. The line ended stretching onto Lakeshore path in a matter of minutes. While our WUD Distinguished Lecture Series Director Mohan Mandali, Kennedie King, Nora Herzog and myself waited on Laverne Cox’s arrival, we pondered on the idea that she would arrive in a stretched out limousine. To our surprise, a black car turns the corner, windows tinted, and at that moment we knew this campus would not be the same.
Few, if any, coaches have left a more indelible mark on college basketball in the state of Wisconsin than Bo Ryan.
Blayre Turnbull was used to playing in front of raucous, sellout crowds in LaBahn Arena. But after her illustrious four-year Badger career concluded last spring, Turnbull traded in her red and white Wisconsin jersey for a red and white Calgary Inferno jersey.
Jared Abbrederis went rock. Joe Schobert went scissors. And that was how the Badgers kicked off their 2016 season.
