The Federal Communications Commission voted Thursday to repeal so-called net neutrality rules, leaving many users, including students, concerned about their access to an open and equal internet experience.
After advancing to the postseason 13 times over the course of his career, Wisconsin head coach Kelly Sheffield has become quite adept at preparing his team to play in December. In the upcoming 2017 NCAA tournament, however, Sheffield will be tasked with helping the Badgers broach a challenge they have never encountered before: being an underdog.
2017 has been an incredible year for video games; Nintendo released the Switch with success, Sony gave us a slew of exclusive Japanese titles like “Persona 5” and Microsoft premiered the most powerful console to date with the Xbox One X. “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” (“PUBG”) took the digital distribution platform Steam by storm, and starting next month, it will do the same to Xbox Live. Whether you own a console or gaming PC, there were generation-defining experiences to be had.
ARLINGTON, VA. — Wisconsin’s trip to the nation’s capital was supposed to serve as a chance for a pair of additional non-conference games, as well as continue head coach Mark Johnson’s tradition of playing neutral site games in areas without a women’s collegiate program.
Brad Davison stood just behind midcourt at the Badgers’ annual Red-White scrimmage, waiting for the ball. His teammate stepped to the sideline to inbound the ball with no defenders in sight. As soon as the whistle blew, Davison called out at full volume and the ball came right to him. There was no risk of a five-second violation, no members of the Red Squad anxiously waiting to bounce on a lazy pass — just a lone White Squad freshman standing alone at midcourt. But he yelled nonetheless.
Friday the 13th is supposed to be a haunting and crazy night, and it turned out to be just that for college football as No. 2 Clemson and No. 8 Washington State were upset. This trend of wild and crazy results carried onto the weekend contests as two more top 10 teams fell as No. 5 Washington fell to Arizona State and the No. 10 Auburn Tigers lost to LSU. Beside these upsets, the other five top 10 teams in action handled business and kept on course in their pursuit of claiming one of the four spots available for the college football playoffs.
The layout of Memorial Union’s Shannon Hall, the venue of Tanya Tagaq’s Madison concert, necessitated audience members to sit down, and so did her performance.
A palpable nostalgia floated like mist outside the ticket gates of Breese Stevens Field before the Modest Mouse concert that took place this past Saturday. The long, sunny shadows and slight autumnal breeze set the perfect mood for the last concert of Breese Stevens’ summer season.
Last week, Badger fans scattered at pools and lakes across Madison on a scorching hot Saturday were grateful for the bye week and the respite it provided from what would have been a sunburnt day spent at Camp Randall. Paul Chryst and his players were able to spend the entire week focusing on themselves, their recovery and their upcoming game against Northwestern.
A sustained air of anticipation filled Overture Hall on Saturday night where, mere feet from the stage, jazz legend Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra (JLCO) tuned and tested an array of iconic orchestral elements. Roughly 2,000 attendees erupted into applause as the lights dimmed to greet the opening act: the Badger High School Jazz Ensemble, based out of Lake Geneva. The group performed two brief renditions of the big band jazz style, featuring solos from the bells of trumpets, saxophones and gentle touches of the piano. The group holds a boastful record of three trips to New York City, where the Essentially Ellington jazz competition selects 15 bands from a national pool to perform. Matching the tenacity of the ensemble, the crowd followed in traditional jazz concert fashion, tossing a flurry of hollers, whoops and cheers to the end of each solo. The brief, 20-minute opening act demanded the adoration of jazz patrons in the hall that night, and they earned it.
As the first major concert of the semester, Foster the People’s sold-out show at the Orpheum was a triumphant success. Breaking into the mainstream with their hit single, “Pumped Up Kicks,” Foster the People have been a mainstay in alt-rock since 2011. However, Saturday marked the band’s very first appearance in Madison.
Nearly eight months removed from their last game, the Wisconsin Badgers (1-0) looked the part of a rusty team in the first half of their 59-10 win versus the Utah State Aggies (0-1) on Friday night.
Five years ago, recent UW-Madison graduate Kristian Iliev was sitting in his high school English teacher’s homeroom. On the other side of the room rested an acoustic guitar that seemed to call out to him. On a whim, Iliev picked up the guitar and began working on a simple chord progression that would eventually become the foundation for his song, “Mrs. Supernova.”
In its third year, the Wisconsin-based music festival Eaux Claires continued its tradition of bringing together artists from across the world for a slew of astonishing live performances. Focusing on artist collaboration, experimentation and exploration, the festival fuzed genres ranging from folk and indie rock to classical and hip-hop.
The Daily Cardinal is heading to Eau Claire on June 16 and 17 to cover this year’s Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival. Our arts staff share what acts they are most excited to see this weekend:
It’s easy to re-watch Netflix series you’ve already seen nine times during the summer. But movie theaters are dying, and there are lots of great features coming out this year. Here are 11 movies you should check out this summer.
Last Friday, UW-Madison’s student-run fashion publication, Moda Magazine, put on a fashion show featuring local retailers and student designers. The fashion show partnered with the Textiles & Fashion Design program of the UW-Madison School of Human Ecology. It was also the finale event of UW Fashion Week, which included two other events put on by Moda, Cocktails and Couture and Swap N’ Shop. All three events gave students the chance to mingle with friends, meet designers and wear cocktail dresses that’ve been sitting in closets for years.
It’s that horrible time of the season—or seasons, I guess is more accurate. Yes, all the shows we love and adore are gearing up for their finales, leaving that horrible, dark place in your schedule that used to be filled with familiar characters and drama. While it could be filled with that homework that’s piling up behind the laptop screen (Nah), I went in search of a new series to fill the void.
In a stunning move that has gained overwhelming bipartisan support, Gov. Scott Walker has confirmed his intent to move the state’s southernmost “Welcome to Wisconsin” signs gradually south until Illinois becomes aware of it. The signs, used by commuters and tourists to mark the border between the two states, will be moved south by one yard every day, under the cover of darkness, so that Wisconsin will appear to start further south than it actually does.“Think of it like when you were a kid trying to steal your friend’s milk carton,” Walker said as the applause died down. “If you just take it, he’ll probably notice. However, if you inch it over, little by little, he won’t notice the subtle changes. We hope to enact this method with our signs. Our goal is to eventually move them south of Chicago, maybe even south of Illinois altogether!”State representatives enthusiastically drew up and passed a bill.“This is really refreshing,” state Rep. Terese Berceau, D-Madison, said. “In a time when we are so divided as a nation, bamboozilin’ Illinois will be something to bind us together. I have high hopes not only for the future of our politics, but for the state of Wisconsin itself.”Despite the frenzy of excitement, Walker urged discretion, stating that in order to truly succeed in a prank, the prankee must remain unaware.“I know we all want to talk about this, but it is your civic duty to remain silent until we have succeeded. If Illinois finds out before we get started, it won’t be any fun,” Walker said. However, he flashed a grin and reassured the listeners: “There will be plenty of time to talk about it after the state issues its official ‘GOT EM’.”The timetables were undetermined at the time of the press conference, but both the governor and representatives assured the media that plans are swinging into motion.“Rest assured,” declared Walker, “that this is to be perhaps the sickest prank in the history of the great state of Wisconsin.”At press time, Capitol workers were seen sneaking toward Springfield with rolls of toilet paper in hand.
NEW YORK—While the Florida Gators (27-8) were celebrating their 84-83 overtime victory over the Wisconsin Badgers (27-10) mere feet from the spot of Chris Chiozza’s game winning 3-point shot, Ethan Happ walked over to Zak Showalter, pulled him away from the Gators’ jubilant scrum and put his arm around Showalter’s left shoulder.
