The time has come. The highly anticipated matchup between the unranked Wisconsin Badgers and the No. 5 LSU Tigers is a day away and the gloom of the football off-season is clearing at last. The hallowed grounds of Lambeau Field, will be the setting for the first game of the year and the start of the 2016 season. The game kicks off at 2:30 p.m. central time and will be broadcasted on ABC, ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app.
As our society edges towards greater awareness of personal well-being, some of the notions of what you “must do for yourself” start feel more like a chore than a favor. Things like hot yoga, daily affirmations and consuming copious amounts of kale can seem more stressful than stress-relieving.
High school seniors graduating in 2017 can apply to UW-Madison using the Common Application, a process used by more than 600 colleges and universities across the country.
Meeting people on campus can be tricky. After the first week or two of classes it sinks in that the cutie pie we were hoping would sit next to us and start a conversation is never going to leave the second row.
He’s 6-foot-4,190 pounds and he’s been averaging 3.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game this season. Thursday afternoon, sneaking just ahead of the NBA trade deadline, the Chicago Bulls traded Kirk Hinrich, Sioux City, Iowa, legend, to the Atlanta Hawks for a second-round draft pick. Not only did the Bulls brain trust of John Paxson and Gar Forman trade away the man with the 334th-best field goal percentage in the NBA, but they traded away one of my irrationally favorite Chicago athletes of all time.
Madison Mayor Paul Soglin criticized the state legislature for its preemption of local governments’ authority during a press conference Wednesday morning.
Perhaps one of the most dreaded and unoriginal resolutions of the new year, “working out” never fails to be revisited by tired adults everywhere in an annual attempt to get into shape.
After nearly four decades as a coach at the collegiate level, Bo Ryan has finally decided to hang up the whistle for good.
The Wisconsin-Minnesota rivalry is always big, no matter the sport. But the Border Battle takes on a new level of meaning when it comes to women’s hockey. The Wisconsin and Minnesota women’s hockey teams are two of the strongest programs in the country every year, and that has led to their rivalry becoming extremely important, as it has often been the determining factor in conference and national championships.
Many know Kid Cudi for his solo rap career. But some are unaware of the other talents that he’s recently exploring. Cudi has been busier than ever since his last trip to Madison in 2013. When he first came to perform, there was a lot of hype coming from his breakout on Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music label. Cudi had released Man On The Moon: The End of Day under this label, and went on to release Man On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager under Kanye’s label as well. Both albums had received the nation’s eyes and boosted his following dramatically. Though the breakout actually came after the release of his third studio album Indicud, this is where he began to transcend and thrive more on his own in a creative way. He looked for more than that of following just what pop culture wanted. So when he arrived in Madison at the Alliant Energy Center on Sept. 9, 2013 it was a big moment. The concert featured an up-and-coming rapper known as Logic, and the well-known rap collective Odd Future.
Last semester in an entrepreneurial management course, UW-Madison students Michael Braun and Chad Gaffney aced their assignment to create an entrepreneurship project that eventually turned into an actual startup.
It’s been hard to describe the meaning behind rock music these days. It used to be the voice for the powerless, the rebel of the 1950s, the loudspeaker of the 1960s and the counterculture of the 1990s. Since then, it’s resigned as the omnipresent voice of musical power; some stagnant voice that doesn’t really need to change or bend like the world around it. Telling someone you like rock music outside of the city gets pats on the back if it’s a classic and an eye roll if it’s indie; telling someone you like rock music inside the city only gets the latter beyond the high fives of the punks.
Friday’s Paris attacks started at 2:20 p.m. Central Standard Time and were ended by a raid four hours later. By 9:48 p.m., UW-Madison confirmed on its Facebook page that all 13 Madison students studying abroad in Paris were safe.

Freakfest is one of the most anticipated and well-known weekends in Madison. With my freshman experience behind me, I was ready for round two. MisterWives and Timeflies were performing at this year’s Capitol stage, two artists who are experts when it comes to partying and hosting an insane concert in Madtown. Last October, Timeflies rocked out at the Orpheum Theater. This Halloween weekend was MisterWives’ third time in Madison this year, after playing at the High Noon Saloon in March and then at the Majestic in September. They just can’t get enough of this city—and I can’t complain.
Freakfest is known for attracting creatures of all types through its gates. The corn, deer, hunters and cowboys all congregated around the Gilman Street Stage as it featured Chase Rice, The Cadillac Three and several others who cranked out tunes to get a hoedown going. In fact, since the party was getting so big and rowdy many other creatures found their way there.
Freakfest provides attendees with an insane variety of options in terms of music throughout the night.While packing yourself against the crowds at the top of State Street may allow you to see a big-name band, it’s the smaller stages that can invoke a stronger sense of community and connection with the performers. The Frances Street Stage, sandwiched between The Towers and Statesider, exuded such an atmosphere, with a wide swath of genres to hold over the more transient crowd.
