Avenging a 30-point loss to Illinois earlier this season,the Wisconsin women's basketball team (9-15, 3-9 Big Ten) beat the fighting Illini on the road 66-61 Thursday.
It's the middle of the fourth quarter in Super Bowl XL. The Steelers have the ball at Seattle's 43-yard line and a 14-10 lead. Something's amiss.
For the Badgers, a trip to West Lafayette, Ind. was supposed to be a cure for what has been ailing them of late. Losers of four of their last five coming into the game, a matchup with the last-place Boilermakers looked to be a relatively easy victory that would snap the Badgers out of their recent slump and keep them in the thick of the Big Ten title race.
On Saturday, the Badgers were robbed of their 14th straight unbeaten game. The St. Cloud State Huskies (10-11-1, WCHA 13-14-1 overall) shut out No. 1 Wisconsin (24-3-1, 19-2-1) 1-0 at the National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, Minn.
At age 25, before many people acquire a steady job, Zadie Smith made a name for herself in the literary world with her first novel, the critical success 'White Teeth.' But this name came with a price: higher expectations for Smith's future work, which her second novel, 2002's 'The Autograph Man,' failed to meet. Now, at the age of 30, she has come out with a third novel, 'On Beauty.'
I am not ashamed to say that the 'dumbass action movie' is my favorite cinematic subgenre, hands down. The first movie I ever unabashedly loved was 'Cliffhanger,' which featured Sylvester Stallone as a ridiculously skilled mountain climber who foils a group of greedy thugs (led by John Lithgow of all people).
This year, we've seen plenty of fantastic debuts (Craig Brewer with 'Hustle and Flow,' Judd Apatow with 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin,' Joe Wright with 'Pride and Prejudice,' the list goes on), but the inconsistent output from many revered directors was especially striking. There were some surprising comebacks, both huge and minor, but also quite a few astounding letdowns from some of our most highly esteemed auteurs. Here's my list of directors that need to come back.
Orlando, Fla.'??The only thing more surprising than Wisconsin's 24-10 victory over then-No. 7 Auburn in the Capital One Bowl was the complete performance and dominating fashion executed by both the players and coaching staff.
I can remember the first time he taught me how to run a receiver's route. The out-of-bounds were marked with white birches and blue spruces. I lined up to his right, my six-year-old frame ending somewhere around his waist. Eyes focused, he slapped the ball and hopped backward. I sprinted forward, cut to my left and snapped my head over my shoulder, arms outstretched into the air.
If any of you have ever taken Intro to Production, you know that this is the time of the semester when everybody is scrambling to finish (or maybe even start) their final projects. I am currently in the class, struggling to make the best movie I can with only five dollars and a couple friends.
The men's basketball team began its season in St. Thomas of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Why then, would the Badgers be thrilled to be back in Madison, Wis.? Why would they rather be stuck in the cold Madison winter instead of the sunny beaches of the Caribbean? Well, the answer is the friendly confines of the Kohl Center.
Sooner or later, famous musicians face the temptation to diversify a little bit and try their hand at acting. Some have found the transition to be smooth and successful (Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube come to mind), while others have become perennial Razzie winners (Madonna, unfortunately, will never learn to stay away from celluloid). But if there's anything I've learned after watching decades of movies with singers broadening their horizons for better or for worse, it's that dramatic range is always essential for a singer's longevity as a thespian.
Sure, college football's actual awards will not be given out for several weeks, but why not take a few minutes in this final 2005 edition of GameDay to bestow some love on the peculiar people and moments that have made this season memorable in their own special ways. GameDay presents the following awards:
Penn State's senior defensive end Tamba Hali spent as much time in Wisconsin's backfield as junior quarterback John Stocco. Then again, the same could be said for the rest of Penn State's defensive line'they sacked Stocco nine times and Hali was responsible for four of them. They reacted to the snap counts as if they were in the offensive huddle and gave Stocco just enough time to put up 313 yards and a touchdown, but never allowed any points of consequence.
In 2004, the Nittany Lions came to Camp Randall to take on a surprise No. 20 Wisconsin squad. On Penn State's very first play, quarterback Zack Mills connected with Michael Robinson for a 49-yard pass. On the very next snap, Mills' pass was intercepted and his right shoulder was sprained. The versatile Robinson replaced him under center.
Afilmmaker with completely unrestricted creative freedom is almost nonexistent. In order to achieve that powerful status, you need to have created and/or directed a multibillion dollar franchise. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg skyrocketed to the upper echelon of the industry not only because their films are usually gigantic hits, but because the projects they pick are safe. Whereas Lucas has ridden the 'Star Wars' phenomenon and since 1977, Spielberg mostly chooses event films headlined by a huge celebrity.
The No. 11 Wisconsin volleyball team (8-2 Big Ten, 16-3 overall) faces off against the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions in an attempt to gain some ground in the Big Ten. With Penn State only having a two-match lead over the Badgers, this Friday's game will have huge Big Ten title implications.
With only 12.5 sacks on the season and trouble stopping the run, the Wisconsin defensive line has gotten its share of criticism. However, the fact that the line has been decimated by injuries cannot be overlooked, as nine different defensive lineman have sacks and even more have seen playing time. Nonetheless, the line is beginning to get a little healthier with the return of sophomore Justin Ostrowski, who showed some improvement Saturday against Purdue.
There's nothing quite like a good zombie game to get in the Halloween spirit. Most zombie games pit you as the human action hero, armed with weapons galore on your quest to save the world from zombification. While blowing up those lumbering brain-eaters in a myriad of gruesome ways is a blast, that scenario has gotten stale.
