seemed fitting the Badgers would make the game just as dramatic as everything leading up to it.
The Big Ten season reaches its halfway point with the leaders becoming more consistent. But the unpredictability of the Big Ten, especially on the road, leaves the conference title up for grabs.
NASHVILLE, Tenn.-For UW football fans who made the trek down to the music capital of the United States, New Year's Eve did not quite seem as festive after a disappointing and somewhat embarrassing end to the 2003 season that left fans mulling over the beer at various Nashville bars wondering what the heck happened that caused the Badgers to take a beating, 28-14.
The battle between in-state rivals reaches a whole new level during the next two weeks as the UW men's basketball team prepares for three opponents, all from the Dairy State, starting tonight at the Kohl Center against UW-Green Bay.
Well, boys and girls, it's 16 days before Christmas and I'm busy making my Christmas wish list for Santa. Now you may argue Santa doesn't exist, but I might argue neither do standards in the Athletic Department (although that's a story for another day). So Santa, besides wishing for world peace and the ability to be omniscient so I'd never have to study for finals again, I have some sports wishes for our beloved athletic teams, and one special wish for myself.
What a difference one game and a wienerschnitzel will make.
As the Big Ten season comes to a close this weekend and teams get locked into December bowl games, there is little doubt the effects of some of the most unlikely games could have an effect on the standings. Whether losing to a conference bottom feeder or beating the big guys, this year's Big Ten season had its share of upset specials that made it one to watch.
As the Badgers jogged off the field after Saturday's game, there was a sense among the fans they had witnessed something special in the first of the last two home games for Wisconsin.
The Badgers women's basketball team continued to use size to its advantage as it continued on a positive note in its inaugural year under new Head Coach Lisa Stone. A modest crowd of just less than 5,500 was on hand to see the second win of the 2003-'04 season as UW defeated the WI AAU Select Viking Club in dominating fashion, 84-58.
Amid another tough loss for the Badgers and cursing Fox's decision to air \Rainman"" over the Bears-Lions game (reasons being an inside joke, I presume), the Badgers basketball team took to the court minus the team's golden-calf recruit Brian Butch. It appears that Butch is the only freshman here at UW who managed to avoid the dreaded ""freshman 15,"" and the 6'11' Wisconsinite now might not be ready to play after dropping to around 200 pounds over the summer.
Settled in the rain-soaked fields behind the Nielsen Tennis Complex, a flock of sea gulls provide the only audience for the women's soccer team, whose practice comes to an end beneath the damp October sky.
Was it me, or was watching Saturday's game a lot like watching an old '80s horror flick? Part of you is embarrassed for watching it, while another part of you can't turn away because there is something funny about it. How is it that a team that beat Ohio State can't beat a team that when in a huddle, resembles a bunch of grapes?
The battle for the top of the conference continues this weekend for the women's volleyball team as the No. 23 Badgers (6-2 Big Ten, 14-5 overall) try to separate themselves from the four teams that sit atop the Big Ten leader board.
As the weekend ended and classes began again, the remnants of body paint smeared by rain started to fade. The hangover started to clear up and everybody's favorite streaker paid his fine and continued to warm up, leaving Saturday night a memory. And just when it looked like this weekend would be just another \average"" football game, ESPN announced that GameDay will broadcast from the Mad City on Saturday. So, for everyone who missed out on their television break when MTV didn't accept you to fill the quota spot on Real World or Road Rules, this is your second chance. Here's your guide for getting noticed this weekend amidst all the hype surrounding the Wisconsin football team:
There is a certain mystique associated with Happy Valley and Penn State, and Wisconsin will experience this firsthand Saturday when the Badgers take on the Nittany Lions.
With five minutes to go 'til kickoff and a beef sandwich in one hand and a pen in the other, I take to the floor, prepared for a night of bizarre ramblings from John Madden and Brett Favre butt-kissing by Al Michaels.
It appeared the weather was not the only thing to improve after the game against UNLV, when the Badgers failed to score a touchdown in a 23-5 loss. Wisconsin came out Saturday and were greeted with clear blue skies as they beat North Carolina, 38-27. UW improved its record to 3-1 as it prepares for the Big Ten opener against Illinois.
If we learned anything from Saturday's game against UNLV, (besides the fact that just when you think you've reached your maximum level of coldness and wetness, it can get worse) it is that we are in need for some divine intervention. So, I take it upon myself to look for a little help, because a team whose leading rusher has a bum ankle, whose quarterback threw two interceptions, was sacked eight times and overthrew eight receivers, not to mention whose offensive plan that couldn't get the ball into Lee Evans' hands, needs some help.
Streaks are a funny thing. While providing great story lines and drama, there's a problem. Streaks are made to be broken. Something for the No. 17 Badgers to keep in mind this weekend when the University of Akron comes into town for the home opener of the Wisconsin football season.
There is an air of excitement around Camp Randall. The sun is shining and the hot summer weather has begun to cool off just in time for fall sports season. But the excitement is not just for the football team, it also resonates for the women's soccer team, who is coming off a strong season last year with a 13-9-3 record.
