Senior guard Kammron Taylor paced the Badgers in the first half, and senior forward Alando Tucker led them in the second as UW went on to a 72-48 victory over the Mercer Bears.
""QuinceaAera"" is a gentle but stirring coming of age story, an insight into the Mexican-Catholic culture and the gentrification of a neighborhood in Los Angeles.
UW-Madison sophomore and Daily Cardinal reader Kaitlyn ""BuckWild"" Buck's titular potable is best put, not in my words, but those her friends submitted:
In 2004, after receiving 51 percent of the vote, President Bush ran wild and declared a mandate. Tuesday, the American people spoke and repudiated that mandate, spanking Bush back into reality.
""Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan"" sneaks in more belly laughs in its brisk 82 minutes than, well, anything in recent or distant memory. It's subversive, hyper-intelligent, fearless, merciless satire—a movie that effortlessly transcends its small-screen roots to skewer the dregs and bigotry of American society in the funniest manner imaginable.
The move from book to film does not always end well. There have been brutal disasters (All the King's Men"") and there have been wild successes (""American Psycho""), and while ""Running With Scissors"" may not fall into either category, it is a wonderful experience. It's colorful and beautifully cast. Annette Bening and Joseph Fiennes are spectacular. The movie's pulse is hard and clear, almost like a human heart as it takes its audience through odd moments of suspense, authentic human rage and a colorful mystique that cannot be defined.
The first few weeks of November can be a difficult time. Most of the leaves have fallen, and the trees stand gray and bare. The cold wind blows away any lingering memories of summer.
Owning books is not, in most cases, like owning CDs or movies, which you will often enjoy multiple times in your lifetime/the past month. If you are as musically inclined as I am, it is much to the annoyance of those around you. And if you liked [Will Ferrell movie here] as much as every other college kid did, it is much to my annoyance.
Halloween is now over, and for many it's time to celebrate all saints that aren't from New Orleans. For me, I would like to stay within the sports realm and rather celebrate the best sports-related costumes from the weekend.
Fraternities and sororities along the six blocks of Langdon Street are bracing for what could be a wild Halloween weekend.
So here's something unexpected: Cat Stevens is releasing a new pop album in November. If this doesn't strike you as surprising, think about the last time you heard Cat Stevens' music. ""Wild World,"" ""Peace Train,"" ""Moonshadow""—a handful of singles from the '60s and '70s. It's more likely that you're familiar with Stevens' more recent biographical history—a pretty bizarre story that runs the gamut from religious conversion to fatwas to airport security.
When most beers promise an additional flavor, be it chocolate, nut or berry, they simply mean a subtle aftertaste. BluCreek Brewing's Wild Blueberry Ale, however, laughs in this tradition's face. To say it tastes strongly of blueberries would be to do this beer a disservice.
When X released Wild Gift in 1981, they essentially dropped the definitely statement on crumbling love to an unsuspecting world. Combining John Doe's smarmy croon with Exene Cervenka's tuneless growl, X's punk music was brash, energetic and desperate.
The third and final gubernatorial debate Friday night in La Crosse focused mostly on healthcare and education issues, and the candidates took their last opportunity to defend themselves and attack each other.
If indie music fans had a classic rock radio station, Yo La Tengo would be a staple. Their eclecticism and constant push to innovate made them critical darlings for almost two decades, but responses to 2003's introspective Summer Sun were lukewarm. With I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass, Yo La Tengo returns to form, revisiting past sounds while creating striking new ones in the process.
Brandon Flowers traded in his eyeliner for a mustache. In case you have been living under a rock, accompanying the new mustache is his band, the Killers, latest record, Sam's Town.
As a sea of red and white floods Camp Randall and the crowd's roar grows, I tremble a little on the squeaky bleacher below. I turn around to a fan resembling a drunken Ronald McDonald screaming ""Yeeeaaahh!"" in my face and giving me a hardy rock-on sign. I nervously laugh and look around the entire stadium. The energy immediately hits me—it's overwhelming, but I like it. The school spirit of UW-Madison students never ceases to amaze.
There are few works of art that can address societal evils and still manage to be insanely fun. The wildly popular, Tony Award-winning Broadway musical ""Hairspray"" has perfected the formula. Based upon John Waters' 1988 film of the same name and on tour since its 2002 debut as a musical, ""Hairspray"" is a work of art that seamlessly lambastes society while plastering dopey smiles across audiences' faces. It's at the Overture this weekend only and shouldn't be missed.
American. Corrupt. Dubious. Tough. Young. Since Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837, these are the adjectives authors, politicians and celebrities have used to describe America's ""second city."" It blossomed after New York. It lacked the glamour of the West Coast. When author and playwright Oscar Wilde visited the city in 1882, he commented, ""It should be torn down ... Your city looks positively dreary.""
