Over the past few years, an unfortunate narrative for Badger football has emerged. Usually the team operates as a motley crew of bruisers, but if that group plays in a big game to the last minute, something will go terribly wrong.
The No. 4 Badgers (8-0) will play their final nonconference matches this weekend in the Pac-12/Big Ten Showcase hosted in Seattle. Wisconsin plays No. 10 USC (6-2) Thursday night and No. 5 Washington (9-0) Friday night.
After an up-and-down weekend that saw the Badgers’ seven-game winning streak come to an end, No. 13 Wisconsin (7-1-0) has had time to reflect as it prepares for another Big Ten opponent this weekend.
Coming off a tough 3-2 overtime defeat, the Badgers (1-4-0) will look to get their season back on track Friday against St. John’s (1-3-2).
After following up a gut-wrenching, opening-week loss with a lopsided win at home, Wisconsin has an opportunity to stabilize itself in its third contest of the season against visiting Bowling Green Saturday.
College football season is in full swing, which means the upsets have started rolling in like a rising tide, but not a Crimson Tide (screw you Alabama). Last Saturday saw four ranked teams bite the dust. Georgia, USC, Virginia Tech and Louisville.
We’re now three full weeks into the 2014 college football season. That has given us enough time to peruse box scores, watch plenty of highlights and formulate some legitimate Heisman Trophy watch lists rather than preseason predictions that often turn out to be wildly incorrect. Check back in the following weeks for updated rankings.
Deer Cardinal,
I’m sure many of you reading this are “owners” of fancy football clubs. Apparently this is the new Internet craze of millennials. Well I’m here to tell you that this fancy fantasy world you’re all caught up in needs to be brought back to utilitarian reality.

The Big Ten is all but guaranteed to not have a team in the new College Football Playoff (cue the muffled sobbing sound from the Midwest). More surprisingly, the SEC might not have a representative in the Playoff either this January.
Your local child abuser and woman beater just got arrested the other day.
It was certainly an emotional three-day stretch for the Badgers.
The national spotlight provided a thriller at the McClimon Complex on Friday night.
The No. 4 Wisconsin volleyball team (8-0) continued the impressive start to their season by staying undefeated and winning the HotelRed Invitational at the UW Field House.
Considering how poorly the Milwaukee Brewers have played over the past several weeks, you would think the team would be ready to pop open a bottle of champagne after any win at this point.
Welcome back to campus, Badgers! After an exciting summer for soccer, highlighted by Brazil’s World Cup, some of you might be suffering from footie withdrawal, and might be interested in following the world’s game more seriously this season. Well, fear not, because this coming semester Lars and I are here to guide you through the ups and downs of the Premier League (or “the Prem” for short), and we’ll start this week with a guide to a league which is only three games into its 38-game season.
Week three of the 2014 college football season is a barren wasteland. Locally, Wisconsin is on a bye, and nationally, there’s just one game that features two Top 25 teams.
