It is undeniably true that North Korea is mostly known for its glooms, which include, but are not limited to, human rights violations, dictatorship, starvation, Stalinist communism and isolationist diplomatic policies.

As many Badgers are aware, yesterday was the day which student basketball tickets went on sale. After last year’s roller coaster ride of a season, which ended just two points short of a trip to the national championship, its no wonder the tickets were a hot item, completely selling out in just five minutes. Needless to say, there is a lot of anticipation flooding campus about the upcoming season. Undoubtedly there will be those left heartbroken when they discover they just weren’t lucky enough to snag their guaranteed place in the Kohl Center this winter. Who can blame them for feeling so distraught when the Badgers go up against the likes of Duke, Michigan State, Iowa, Indiana, and Nebraska at home this season.

A bystander called the police, and it wasn’t much later that an officer mistook Luis as a suspect and demanded to see his ID. Luis refused (which he was in every right to do) and, well, it only went downhill from there.
