I would like to think I live dangerously. We all do. But let's
face it—in a typical day I do The New York Times crossword puzzle,
run at the SERF and read my Entertainment Weekly. The closest I
come to danger is riskily eating the expired sour cream in the back
of my refrigerator. If you are like me—craving a thirst for danger
while living a sedentary, college life—""Man vs. Wild"" is the show
for you.

Get ready for a mindfuck.

Monday, April 16 scared me for many different reasons. The first
is the sheer number of deaths: 33. That is more than that of the
Columbine shootings in 1999 and the University of Texas sniper
shootings in 1966 combined. And the fact that this happened on a
college campus scares me even more.

In South Florida, where weather broadly defined as a cloudburst
gave way Wednesday to playable conditions, there were around 11,000
fans in attendance at Dolphin Stadium. That was the crowd—if you we
can term it that—in attendance to watch a scrappy, young Marlins
team that had won five of its first seven.

The No. 45 UW men's tennis team will hit the road this weekend
with two conference matches against Iowa and No. 36 Minnesota.

The hockey world is abuzz because of the upcoming Stanley Cup
Playoffs Wednesday. Here are previews of four of the eight
first-round series.

Even though the Wisconsin women's basketball team (23-9) has
found a substantial amount of success this season while playing on
its home court at the Kohl Center, traveling to challenge Wyoming
(26-9) in hopes of winning the Women's National Invitational
Tournament is motivation enough without the large fan base there
for moral support.

It was Oscar Wilde who once commented that ""All bad poetry is
sincere."" If he were alive today, he might add that all bad
feel-good sports movies are sincere, too. ""Pride,"" about James
Ellis' (Terrence Howard) African-American swim team in
Philadelphia, is as sincere as any of the poets Oscar Wilde was
undercutting. And it's just as bad. Good God is this movie boring.
It's formulaic, tepid and its aesthetic poverty strips it of any
potential affect. ""Pride's"" emotional intelligence is derived not
from any great civil rights literature, but from The Wonderful
World of Disney's vault of race-related movies.

A lot of people, especially up here in Packer territory,
consider football to be the best professional sport. Back in
Chicago, however, there is nothing like the summertime when at
least one of the city's two baseball teams is playing at home every
day. It's more than that though. There is a war between the Cubs
and White Sox even when they aren't playing each other—and that war
might reach a peak this year with two quality teams taking the
field.

I want to live in an '80s teen movie. When I was little, I
always figured that, at some point during high school, I'd sew my
own prom dress. That didn't happen. Instead, I just wore
store-bought ones, and I felt cheated. Slammed. Hurt by the fact
that I couldn't be as pretty in pink as Molly Ringwald. Plus, there
was no James Spader. And that's a tragedy.

The entire world knows Britney Spears has gone off the deep end.
Her highly questionable parenting skills, her newly bald head, her
hoo hoo's intimate relationship with the camera—the woman's nuts
these days. And in my opinion, that's just fine.

It gets your adrenaline pumping and lets you see things you
could never see in reality. It keeps you looking for bigger highs,
seeking even more insane and dangerous ways to get your heart
pumping and score more in the process. It only gets better when you
have friends to share it with, because you can do more dangerous
and insane things together.

Four middle-aged, wannabe bikers, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence,
William H. Macy and John Travolta, embark on a cross-country
journey with no particular plan. In fact, the tagline for the film
is ""a lot can happen on the road to nowhere."" It should actually
be ""road to nowhere."" Half the film is comprised of montage
sequences of b-roll, filler in which the foursome cruise down the
highway to the tune of Foghat's ""Slow Ride"" and then periodically
stop to urinate on the side of the road. The other half of the film
is equally unbearable.

To the surprise of no one, right-wing bomb-thrower Ann Coulter
has once again said something controversial. At last week's meeting
of the Conservative Political Action Conference, she referred to
Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a ""faggot,"" a
remark met first with gasps and nervous laughter but then with
enthusiastic applause.

There was nothing more ravishing on Oscar night than the
smashing onscreen pairing of two men that sent me sprinting out of
the bathroom. Dripping wet and holding my towel, I gazed at the
screen as Leonardo DiCaprio joked awkwardly with Al Gore about
presidential elections and global warming.

Whether they were tears of disappointment or tears of anguish,
there was certainly sadness in the Polar Bear's face Sunday
afternoon in Columbus.

In a city where the water quality rivals that of steel mill
runoff, and a mayoral candidate frenetically asserts he coined the
term ""fish and wildlife"": Madison's place on the ""classy totem
pole"" is that haggard frog shaped character that appears toward
the stump. Madison's own Sleeping In The Aviary emulates this
acidic, wild-eyed mentality in their new album Oh, This Old
Thing?—a brisk power pop album that bites and scathes, yet affirms
that Madison has an aspiring music scene outside of Steve Miller
revival bands. The Daily Cardinal sat down with Sleeping In The
Aviary's lead singer and guitarist Elliott Kozel just before the
band set sail for a spring tour.

COLUMBUS, Ohio—On Senior Day in Columbus, it was a freshman that
came up big for the Buckeyes. And his name was not Greg
Oden.

Jason Chappell's eyes get wide and a smile creeps across his
face when he talks about it. He remembers it well. Sophomore Devin
Harris drained the last of his two free throws with 0.4 seconds
left against Illinois, and the Kohl Center just erupted.

With football season over, frats no longer rushing and New
Year's Eve a distant, fuzzy memory, now is the perfect time to
throw a fantastic dinner party. Dinner parties rock, but few people
undertake them because they seem complicated and a bit snobby.
