Regardless of your political affiliation, we will have a new
president in the White House in a matter of months. Like it or not,

The whole mess of what happened with Brett Favre last summer is
past me, and frankly, I swore off ever writing about it. I am ok
with how things turned out, I think Packer fans as a whole either
think the same way or have come to terms with it, and for as bad as
the whole situation got in August, the end result was reasonable
for all parties.

With the Big Ten season already half over, every remaining match

A three set sweep could not have come at a better time for the
Wisconsin volleyball team (5-6 Big Ten, 15-8 overall), who recorded
its first win in three weeks at the UW Field House Wednesday night.
The Badgers defeated Northwestern (1-10, 7-15) 25-20, 25-19, 25-21
and gained back some ground after losing the past four conference
matches, including two matches this past week at home.

Losing the top two scorers from the record-setting 2007 squad,
last year's Wisconsin men's basketball team was not projected to
achieve much in the way of national recognition and conference
supremacy. But a dedicated batch of talent led by then-seniors
Brian Butch, Greg Stiemsma, Tanner Bronson and Michael Flowers
defied expectations and led the Badgers to a 2008 Big Ten title and
a trip to the Sweet 16 in March.

The ticket fiasco of the first week was one thing. This week was
inexcusable.

With two statement matches against ranked conference opponents
on the line, the No. 19 Wisconsin volleyball team (4-4 Big Ten,
14-6 overall) fell further behind in the Big Ten standings with
losses against No. 21 Purdue (5-3, 16-4) in a five set shootout and
a sweep at the hands of No. 17 Illinois (5-3, 14-5). The two
dropped matches leave the Badgers in the midst of a four-way tie
for fourth place and a distant four games behind conference leader,
No. 1 Penn State.

Last week, Trevor Wikre found himself faced with an unusual,
important and somewhat gruesome situation. During football practice
at Mesa State College in Grand Junction, Co., the senior offensive
lineman got his pinky caught up in the jersey of a teammate during
a sweep play and screwed it up pretty bad - to the point where the
bone was sticking out of the skin.

Despite losing the first two conference matches of the season to
Minnesota and Iowa, the No. 19 Wisconsin volleyball team (4-2 Big
Ten, 14-4 overall) will be faced with an even tougher pair of
opponents this weekend. They will face No. 21 Purdue (3-3, 14-4)
and No. 17 Illinois (4-2, 13-4) while on the road for the second
straight week. With six teams in the Big Ten ranked in the AVCA
top-25 poll, the Badgers will need to take both matches if they
wish to remain in contention for the conference title.

In its match Saturday night, the No. 21 Wisconsin volleyball
team (4-2 Big Ten, 14-4 overall) spread the offense all over the
court and rallied for a 25-21, 26-24, 25-21 victory over Michigan
State (3-3, 11-6) in East Lansing.

The college football Bowl Championship Series is a funny thing.
Or, I guess if you cheer for a team that is not in a BCS
conference, it is an annoying thing.

This past week was not kind to the No. 20 Wisconsin volleyball
team, which, after losing two matches on the road to unranked Iowa
and border rival No. 12 Minnesota, dropped two spots in the
national polls. But the Badgers (10-4 overall, 0-2 Big Ten) have an
opportunity to gain back some ground in the conference when they
return home for the first time in three weeks to play No. 22
Michigan (13-1, 1-1) and Ohio State (9-5, 0-2) this weekend.

Whether you like him or not, comedian Frank Caliendo does a
pretty good impression of John Madden. He has sketches where he
rambles in Madden's voice for as much as 25 seconds straight
without ever speaking an audible word - and still, it sounds like
something that would actually come out of the aged commentator's
mouth.

The No. 18 Wisconsin volleyball team (0-2 Big Ten, 10-4 overall)
started off on the wrong foot to start this year's conference
season, as they were upset in a 25-23, 25-19, 25-10 sweep by Iowa
(1-0 Big Ten, 9-4 overall) and suffered a 25-23, 10-25, 24-26,
20-25 defeat to No. 12 Minnesota (2-0 Big Ten, 12-2 overall) the
following night.
