Mike Eaves doesn’t just train hockey players. He raises them.
Immediate gratification. Not only can you read the results of a fight after the final round, but you can physically feel the consequences of your actions, good and bad. If you duck left when you should have moved right, you’ll see lights. On the other hand, if you time it just right and fire fast enough, you’ll feel your opponent’s face connecting with your gloved fist.
The dark clouds rolled away as the temperature crested into the 50s. U2 blasted through Camp Randall Stadium as the Badgers charged onto the field. College football is back.
I’m going to make a claim: Mary Willingham can’t read.
After a rocky start to its conference schedule, Wisconsin has the opportunity to finish among the top teams in the Big Ten.
With temperatures as high as they’ve been all spring, it seemed like a beautiful, mid-fall day when the Badgers took the field for their annual spring game.
When Badger softball players see Illinois (2-10 Big Ten, 18-18 overall) on the schedule, they have a good reason to get excited.
In a two-game weekend home stand against Michigan State and Michigan, the Badgers could not break out of their prolonged cold spell, losing both matches 4-3.
Wisconsin was hoping to snap their four-match losing streak when it traveled to Michigan this weekend to take on a pair of quality conference foes.

After a 16-0 start to the 2013-’14 season, nobody saw what would come next for Wisconsin. The No. 2-ranked team in the country went on to lose five of its next six Big Ten conference games.
Turning-point game: Florida
After such an up-and-down season for Wisconsin, a loss in the Final Four can be tough to swallow. All the hard work and emotion poured into the season is suddenly put to a halt, and the players, coaches and community have to cope with the reality that the team came up just short of the ultimate goal.
University of Wisconsin-Madison senior Alex Meyer had the Wisconsin men’s basketball team winning his whole NCAA bracket, a feat that would have been the perfect end to his last year as a Badger.
When the Wisconsin Badgers and Kentucky Wildcats squared off at the Final Four in Arlington, Texas, fans were treated to a matchup between two programs with very different philosophies when it comes to recruiting and player development.
