His breathing was so hard it was like watching someone drown a pit bull. The thrashing, the spastic jerks of the legs, the gasping. It was painful to watch, but I could not take my eyes away. How could I? It would be missing history, missing the weaving of the fabric of my youth. What could I possibly be watching on an otherwise normal Sunday night that made my masochistic tendencies go into overdrive?
Although the official end of summer is still some weeks off and hopefully we have at least two months before the large sheets of ice move in, my tortured sinuses warn that it would be best to let go of my sandal-wearing ambitions soon.
Male Athlete of the Year:
The Wisconsin men's track and field team finished off a weekend in Des Moines, Iowa with sophomore Demi Omole sprinting to victory for the second year in a row.
It does not seem like it could really happen-an unsigned band getting the opportunity to tour nationally as well as record a second album. But, finally, people are voting for Kodos.
This weekend, the UW men's and women's track teams capped off yet another stellar performance with two event wins each. Competing in the Gatorade Classic, the men had it in them to win the triple jump and discus. The women achieved victory in the high jump and 3,000 meters, picking up a NCAA Regional qualifying mark as well.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison is an aggressive, self-interested participant in the business of cruel animal testing, according to the Alliance for Animals. The organization hosted a lecture titled \Behind Closed Doors"" Thursday to discuss the issue of animal testing done at UW-Madison, specifically at the Primate Research Center.
Though spring break will whisk students away from Madison, one event is bringing the town together. The second annual Madison Area Music Awards, slated for Saturday, March 26, will bring musicians of every genre to the Wisconsin Union Theater in Memorial Union.
There are some things you can never escape, like awkwardness in front of crowds, bumbling self-consciousness and worries about life's transitions. For me, one of those things is my resemblance to a certain celebrity.
The University of Wisconsin men's track and field team has worked hard all season to achieve its No. 6 national ranking. As the pinnacle of the track season approaches Friday and Saturday in the form of the 2005 Indoor Track and Field Championships, the Badgers finally will get the payoff for their hard work. The team will be sending 13 athletes to the meet-held on the University of Arkansas campus, in Fayetteville-to compete in seven events.
When talk turns to Wisconsin men's track, the team's sprinters and distance squads-led by stars such as Demi Omole and Matt Tegenkamp-often get most of the attention and it is easy to see why. But a valuable contributor to the team's success this season is its outstanding collection of jumpers. This was never more apparent than in the team's recent Big Ten Indoor Title, where the jumpers played a critical role. Despite this being their fifth consecutive title, the Badgers do not take any of their success for granted.
According to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network, in the last five years the estimated number of Americans with food allergies has increased from 6 million to approximately 11 million. Although research continues, scientists have not yet discovered the reason for the increase.
Happy Belated birthday to my favorite Golden Eagle, Travis Diener.
The Illinois-Wisconsin basketball game Tuesday lived up to all its pre-game billing, but now nobody is talking about the game anymore. Instead, the conversation has turned to a brain-dead analyst and a gigantic sign.
One need not read Anne Coulter's inky fireballs, visit the Campus Watch website or follow the teachings of Burke, Christ and Dubya to encounter the caricature of the P.C. humanities professor whose heart often doth bleed during class. Whether it's a lecture on Mao or Milton, we are not exactly shocked when contemporary politics seep in. But to many, the color of politics in humanities classrooms is annoying, even angering. Bill O'Reilly expressed that anger in his misleading rhetorical question, \Would you pay $30,000 a year to hear a professor applaud Mogadishu?"" Though we might be annoyed (the professorate is paid to annoy), we should never be as angry as O'Reilly.
Significant donations from American Family Insurance, the Evjue Foundation and Robert and Irwin Goodman will put Madison one step closer to raising the additional $1.4 million needed to build the city's first public swimming pool.
Two teams headed in two completely different directions.
The portion of the year between Halloween and Thanksgiving may be the most optimistic for movie fans. With the coming of Thanksgiving, Hollywood will spend the next month parading out what it thinks are its most quality, entertaining products. Although many films will not live up to the sense of anticipation they inspire, there are always one or two movies that go the distance. But this is also the time of year for reflection, and for giving gratitude for what has been given to us over the past year. It's extremely easy to fall into the trap of dwelling on the negatives of Hollywood today, and many (myself included) are guilty of it. In no particular order, here are cinematic aspects we should bow our heads to before we eat our respective turkeys.
In college athletics, even The Game can be bought.
\I'm just average, common too / I'm just like him, the same as you / I'm everybody's brother and son / I ain't different from anyone,"" Bob Dylan sang on ""I Shall Be Free No. 10."" He meant it. There will never be an appropriate biography for Bob Dylan. It would consist of broken words never meant to be spoken. There's far too much music mythology at stake to piece together a tell-all work. Dylan needs the tales to round out his identity. Without a few parables and some strange yarns, he's just a man who has known better days.
