After a banner year for many programs, the Wisconsin Athletic Department extended the contracts for six head coaches, the department announced Friday.
After six years as assistant coach of the Badger men's hockey team Mark Osiecki will move on to the head coaching role at Ohio State next season, the Buckeyes announced Saturday.
This was not how the season was supposed to go.
A lot of people might go into this year's spring game wondering what they will see on the field at Camp Randall Stadium—will it be a gritty battle for starting positions between teammates? Will it replicate the atmosphere of Camp Randall on a fall Saturday? Will it give us a preview of how the Badgers will perform in the Big Ten?
In his special, ""Terrifying Times,"" Oliver discusses the great symbol of our nation's progress that was Domino's Oreo Pizza (a dessert item that was, as its name would suggest, a pizza made with Oreo cookies), saying it was essentially a big ""fuck you"" to America's enemies. By engineering the Oreo Pizza, Oliver says we told terrorists everywhere, ""there is nothing you can do to us that we are not already doing to ourselves.""
One period through Wisconsin's 5-0 loss in the national title game, I could only think one thing: We've seen this team before. After 20 minutes of hockey, with Boston College holding a not-insurmountable 1-0 lead, it was clear that if this version of the Badger hockey team stuck around, the program would not see its seventh national title this year.
It's the perfect Cinderella story: the small hockey program comes to the NCAA hockey tournament as an unheralded underdog from a weak conference, playing in a bracket that features the powerhouse many experts picked to win the national title. Despite those doubters and long odds, however, the team rallies to not only defeat that heavily-favored squad, but earns itself a trip to the Frozen Four. Just like that, the little school that could is two wins away from a national title.
ST. PAUL, Minn.—In one game at the NCAA West Regional it was the power play, the next it was the penalty kill, but one of the key factors that punched Wisconsin's ticket to the Frozen Four was the Badgers' strength on special teams.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Wisconsin men's hockey team faced two very different goaltenders at the WCHA Final Five.
One might think there is a temptation among members of the Wisconsin men's hockey team to take their Friday contest against St. Cloud State in the WCHA Tournament semifinal for granted. After all, the Badgers spent nearly the entire year at the top level of the conference, joined by only one team—Denver—a squad they could face for the conference playoff championship Saturday night.
This year's WCHA Tournament has not exactly been upset-heavy.
You would be hard pressed to find a better week for sports fans than this one.
For a league that has gotten it wrong far too many times this season, this was an example of the WCHA finally getting it close to right.
HOUGHTON, Mich.—It's not easy to replace the leading goal-scorer in the WCHA, or the player who quarterbacks your power play, or the one who harasses opposing offenses on the penalty kill, or the person who takes (and wins) a great deal of your faceoffs, or one of the team's captains.
HOUGHTON, Mich.—Looking only at the last time Wisconsin faced off against Michigan Tech, at the Kohl Center Dec. 4 and 5, you might think a pair of close wins at John MacInnes arena would be disappointing. Despite being obliterated by the Badgers the last time they met, getting outscored 14-2, Michigan Tech put up a better fight in an emotional final home series for their seniors, testing the Badger offense that was without its top scorer and frustrating junior goaltender Scott Gudmandson.
Wisconsin women's hockey head coach Mark Johnson might be thousands of miles away coaching Team USA at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, but some of the wisdom he taught his players at UW has been on the Badgers' minds this week.
Stouts are not for everyone. Packed with flavor, they can be heaven for an experienced beer lover, but a lot less enjoyable for someone with a less-refined palate.
Sunday night was, quite simply, one of the best hockey games in Olympic history.
