Trigger warning from the writer: This story contains graphic descriptions of domestic assault.
For as long as humanity has been around, violence has been glorified. Millennia ago, personal conflicts were settled exclusively through confrontation. Today, the same concept is often true on a much larger scale. And I can’t stand it.
After suffering a devastating loss two weeks ago to the then-No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes, the Wisconsin Badgers were left searching for answers. While the players were quick to call it a team loss, head coach Paul Chryst thought otherwise.
After back-to-back Final Four appearances, the Badgers struggled mightily to start the 2015-’16 season thanks to the departures of Frank Kaminsky, Sam Dekker and Josh Gasser. The team was reeling, and was just 9-9 several games into the Big Ten season.
I’ll be the first to admit that I love football. There’s something inherently primal about lining up in front of someone, knowing that your only goal in that moment is either to get past them or stop them from getting past you.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Jazz Peavy made one quick head fake to the middle of the field before planting his left foot and breaking out toward the sideline. Channing Stribling, riding right on the redshirt junior receiver’s hip, took the bait and tried to jump inside to cut off the passing window.
When the Badgers’ injury report came out last week before their matchup with Michigan State, it came as a surprise that kicker Rafael Gaglianone would be sitting out. At first glance, it was a huge loss for UW, as Gaglianone has a major impact on the team’s scoring and has plenty of range in his right foot.
Bronson Koenig is mostly known for basketball on campus, but his Ho-Chunk heritage plays no small part in his life. He has been outspoken in his time at Wisconsin in criticizing sports programs with Native names and references as mascots.
Which game will feature the biggest upset?
The Big Ten was the story of week two as the top four teams won by a combined score of 195-44. After a shocking win over then-No. 5 LSU, the No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers solidified their place in the top tier of college football with a 54-10 walloping of Akron. It would have been easy for the Badgers to lose their focus following such a huge upset, but instead they outperformed expectations at the expense of the Zips.

College football’s return has finally crept up on the nation and left fans and pundits scrambling to predict the outcome of the season. The College Football Playoff Selection Committee has turned every viewer into a psychic for the third year in a row, and with all four spots in the playoffs wide open, everyone thinks their team has what it takes. Spoiler alert: They don’t.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Football is back, brats are on the grill and everyone has their bibs on. College football Saturdays are unparalleled in sports. March Madness can stake its claim, but anything that lasts just a month is too short to be the best.
If you’re sitting in J, you deserve a standing ovation for managing to hide how drunk you are from security. You probably went to your cousin’s place on Regent, did four too many beer bongs and wandered into the stadium around halftime. This is the drunkest of sections and definitely the worst. If your plan is to watch the football game, don’t sit in J. You’ve been warned.
There are some athletes that we will never forget. There are those that define a generation, and there are those that transform the game. But none have ever transcended sports the way Muhammad Ali did.
A day or so before the NCAA Tournament began, I used The Daily Cardinal's brand-new flashy win probability calculator to look at teams that would provide the best long-run return on a bet to win the championship. That is, I compared each team's odds of cutting down the nets with the odds the betting public gave them.
There is nothing on Earth like college basketball in March.
Last March Madness, I achieved international fame (not really) for unequivocally predicting that 14-seeded Georgia State would upset mighty 3-seed Baylor in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. And when R.J. Hunter nailed a three with 2.6 seconds left on the clock to cap off a remarkable comeback and down the Bears, I was pretty happy.
INDIANAPOLIS—The presence of senior forward Shavon Shields made all the difference in the world in Nebraska’s (16-17 overall) 70-58 upset win over Wisconsin (20-12) Thursday night in the Big Ten Tournament at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
