Lack of urgency has doomed Badgers

Through the first six games of the season, the Wisconsin football team buried opponents so fast and so early that little doubt about the outcome was left by halftime.
It is no secret that the Wisconsin men’s hockey team came into this season with plenty of questions left unanswered.
Coming into the showdown against Ohio State, the No. 19 Wisconsin football team (2-2 Big Ten, 6-2 overall) was poised to make a statement and redeem itself after a devastating loss at Michigan State. Yet, in spite of the Badgers late rally, the nightmare from MSU returned when Buckeyes freshman quarterback Braxton Miller connected on a 40-yard touchdown to freshman wide receiver Devin Smith to nullify Wisconsin’s incredible comeback and give the Buckeyes a 33-29 victory.
According to head coach Mike Eaves, if you had told him at the beginning of the season that his young Wisconsin men’s hockey team (3-3 WCHA, 4-4 overall) would be .500 at the end of the season’s first month, he would have taken it, and that is exactly where the Badgers find themselves after their first four weekends of play.
The Badgers’ men’s hockey (3-3-0 WCHA, 4-4-0 overall) team was flying high after an impressive sweep on then-No.5 ranked North Dakota last weekend, but the team couldn’t capitalize on its momentum, splitting this weekend’s series with Nebraska-Omaha (3-1-0, 4-4-0).
The No. 1 Wisconsin women’s hockey team (5-1-0 WCHA, 9-1-0 overall) swept No. 4 Boston University (0-0-0 Hockey East, 5-3-1 overall) this weekend at the Kohl Center in Madison. The series concluded a four-series stretch against top-10 teams for the Badgers.
Fuck you. Eat shit.
Rutherford Road is a wide stretch of Canadian asphalt that shoots from east to west across a small piece of the suburban sprawl emanating north from Toronto.
The No. 1 Wisconsin women’s hockey team (3-1-0 WCHA, 5-1-0 overall) will play its first games outside the friendly confines of the Kohl Center this weekend when it travels to Minnesota Duluth to take on the No. 6 Bulldogs (0-0-0, 4-2-0).
Coming into the season, it was expected that the Wisconsin men’s hockey team (0-2 WCHA, 1-3 overall), containing 20 freshman and sophomores, would face its fair share of adversity, but the hope is that the youth on this team will learn from those experiences and grow.
