Every time the start of a new season rolls around, regardless of
the sport, we know which schools to expect at the top of the

The giant hogweed, also known as the cartwheel flower or the
giant cow parsnip, is a fascinating plant. It can grow over 15 feet
high, has giant flowers and is resistant to frost. Unfortunately,
giant hogweed also has spiky leaves that, upon being touched,
release pain-inducing sap. As a result, the victim's sap-soaked
skin becomes supersensitive to sunlight and blisters. Due to its
great size, the giant hogweed is difficult to remove from an
environment and crowds out other necessary species of plants.

will likely earn them a respectable position in the NCAA tournament
later this month. Now, as the Badgers head into the postseason, we
hand out the grades and shed light on which factors ultimately led
to the team's success this season.
