Madison 101

By The Daily Cardinal News Staff | Jun. 4, 2010

As an incoming freshman or transfer student, the new surroundings of UW-Madison and the city surrounding it can be a tad intimidating, if only because they're new. Every day you'll see a rash of names of the front page of the paper of various government officials, university administrators and other notable figures and organizations, but it takes some time to understand who they all are and what it is they do. To make things easier, The Daily Cardinal has created a cheat sheet covering most of news makers you will see throughout the pages of our paper in the coming year.

Being a part of the student section requires more than high blood-alcohol content

By Nico Savidge and Brittany Schoepp | Jun. 3, 2010

I remember my first Badger game quite well — on Aug. 30, 2008, the Badgers took the field at Camp Randall Stadium and trounced Akron 38-17 while I watched from section P in the north end zone. Obviously, I knew every single cheer, belted out the lyrics to all of the songs the PA system played, had every student section chants memorized and flawlessly executed the Time Warp dance during the Fifth Quarter.

Alvarez inducted into College Football Hall of Fame

By Bob Spoerl and Parker Gabriel | Jun. 3, 2010

Students new to the sports scene on campus in Madison will come to know Barry Alvarez as a guy who, in his role as Athletic Director, should fire this coach or that coach and push ahead plans to improve athletic facilities. He is more recognizable, though, as the football coach that helmed the Badgers during their return to respectability through the 1990s and into this decade.

Expectations high as many playmakers return

By Parker Gabriel | Jun. 3, 2010

One year ago, the Wisconsin football team entered the fall as a damaged product.  The team underachieved in 2008, head coach Bret Bielema appeared to be on the hot seat, and many expected another lackluster year.   What a difference 10 wins can make.

Fighting freshman fifteen

By Dan Tollefson | Jun. 2, 2010

I remember exactly what kind of kid I was before coming to college. Thoughts of parties, beer and women constantly floated through my head in the days leading up to move-in. Picture a young Van Wilder, but paler. Back then, I was a mere 120 lbs of lean, mean partying potential.

Luck helps underdogs win in NHL playoffs

By Scott Kellogg | May. 5, 2010

Over the past few years, we've seen a strange trend developing in the NHL playoffs, and I've never been quite sure how to explain it, but I'm going to take a stab.
