The Wisconsin women's basketball team marched proudly off its home court Thursday night after ending its two game losing streak with a 60-53 win over Indiana at the Kohl Center.
Attention female students: Your low-cost access to prescription contraceptives is low-cost no more. Effective Jan. 1, the Federal Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 cancelled contracts with pharmaceutical companies that previously charged a nominal price to University Health Services and other similar university organizations across the country.
Most students on the UW campus know who Marcus Landry is. The casual Badger hoops fan is probably well-aware the 6'7' sophomore power forward has played a critical role in Wisconsin's 5-0 start in the Big Ten Conference. Yet it is also quite possible the majority of the rabid fans that make up the Grateful Red student section at the Kohl Center do not know the 21-year-old Milwaukee native is married and the father of two young children.
ORLANDO, Fla.—The UW football team rushed for negative five yards, allowed 257 yards on the ground and did not score in the second half of the Capital One Bowl. Yet somehow, despite these numbers, the Badgers (12-1) took home their second straight Capital One Bowl victory, defeating Arkansas (10-4) 17-14.
Over Thanksgiving break, my mom gave me a miniature plastic Christmas tree, insisting that I take it with me to ""decorate"" my apartment. When I got back and placed it on the kitchen table, it didn't particularly bring me any cheer because I don't have any ornaments besides the accompanying miniature gold bulbs she kindly took the time to include. My prosthetic pine didn't smell a bit like a real tree, so I bought one of those car fresheners and adorned my ode to forced holiday cheer without the slightest hint of irony.
If there is one thing Wisconsin basketball fans knew about freshman guard Jason Bohannon entering the season, it's that he could flat out shoot the basketball.
My family's tragic association with Thanksgiving began in 1978. At that Thanksgiving meal, my great-grandfather left the table and disappeared. No one knows if it was the canned cranberry sauce, the turkey, the piles and piles of pie or the fact that he was losing terribly at poker, but he died in the bathroom. His body had fallen against the door, and the 65 years of smoking, drinking and kielbasa had made his body a concrete barrier. So, as the story goes, armed with an umbrella and a socket wrench, Aunt Toots had to scale a drain pipe and climb in from the outside. There were some efforts to revive him, but alas, it was too late.
The time to give thanks has come around once again. The aroma of turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing seemingly has the power to make Americans across the country rejoice and give praise for all they have. But this year, I've decided to scratch that approach and explain the things I'm not so grateful for because, frankly, they suck.
News flash! It's the holiday season! At least, the conglomerations of retailers, manufacturers and marketers have decided that it is holiday season, and whether we like it or not they are going to do everything they can to convince us to give them money! The big ticket items, as always, are the consumer electronics. TVs, PDAs, MP3 players and, this year, new seventh-generation (yeah, we've been through that many) video game consoles. In order to either A) surreptitiously advance the schemes of marketers or B) undermine them from below, I've compiled a short list of the major offerings this year, along with some cynical and possibly useful commentary.
Rockstar Games, the noted producer of ""Grand Theft Auto,"" ""Manhunt"" and ""Max Payne,"" seems adamant in living the actual rock star lifestyle. Each release, like a trashed hotel room, brings in a wave of publicity, controversy and ultimately, increased sales.
Shocking news here, so you'd better take a seat: I love Thanksgiving. It is, without a doubt, my favorite day of the year. I am a grateful person, and I enjoy this opportunity to thank anything responsible for the glorious food of the past year. Bring me a pie on this day, and I'll chase you around like Borat, trying to kiss you.
I'm addicted to food porn. You know, the mouth-watering images of indulgent delights that have made the Food Network one of cable television's most popular. And this weekend, I hit rock-bottom: I indulged in a seven-hour culinary orgy known as the Madison Food & Wine Show. But you know what? I'm not sorry, I'm not ashamed and in fact, any foodie worth their weight in chocolate must experience this.
After a disappointing loss in Minneapolis earlier this week, the No. 11 Wisconsin volleyball team (7-3 Big Ten, 15-5 overall) marched into Iowa and took down the Hawkeyes 30-19, 26-30, 30-24, 30-21 to close out the first half of the Big Ten season Saturday night. The win leaves the Badgers tied with No. 14 Purdue for third place in the conference.
Sushi Box
It's large and square, with slightly slanted sides and four 20-foot high screens covered in thousands of tiny lights. When it's dark, it's just another JumboTron. But when it lights up, and cameras around the Kohl Center start panning the crowd, it's my archenemy.
Gino's, 540 State St., has been serving a variety of authentic Italian dishes for over 43 years. With its bright red awning and patio in front, Gino's is an icon in downtown Madison.
As a freshman, State Street may seem like the most logical choice for non-University Housing food options. However, State Street is only the beginning of what Madison has to offer in terms of restaurants. As proof, Cardinal Food has reviewed four restaurants that all can be found within two blocks of State Street to begin your voyage into the Madison dining scene.
The Daily Cardinal's Les Chappell spent an afternoon with the Madison Hash House Harriers and shares his experiences with these quirky, thirsty runners.
When Wisconsin freshman Joe Krabbenhoft set foot on campus in the fall, he undoubtedly did so with lofty expectations. A native of Sioux Falls, S.D., he was ranked among the nation's top 25 high school seniors last year. He was tabbed as the best player to come out of the state since Mike Miller, the 2001 NBA Rookie of the Year.
The college years have become an accepted time for experimentation in all realms of life. From changing hairstyles and significant others to switching majors at a moment's notice, the college experience revolves around trying new things.
