The Wisconsin men's soccer team (2-4-3 overall) had little time to recover after a loss last Friday's as they faced Marquette (9-0) Wednesday night. An equalizer by junior midfielder Nick Janus in the 78 minute was not enough as the undefeated Golden Eagles netted the game winner in the 108th minute to win the game 2-1.
The amount of criticism senior Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez received last year was arguably at its peak after their 48-17 defeat in Camp Randall Stadium on Oct. 1st, 2011. His one-and-a-half quarters of solid play was short-lived to say the least. The Cornhuskers jumped out to a 14-7 lead just five seconds into the second quarter, but by the time “Jump Around” came on, the game was already decided.
My sports fanhood has changed quite a bit over the last four-plus years.

For the Wisconsin football team (3-1 overall), the quest for their third straight conference championship begins this week when they open up Big Ten play.
As long as sports have been around, there has been a “chicken or the egg” type argument about who really makes a team, the players or the coaches. Is it the coaches’ preparation, motivation and schemes that set up a team for victory, or does on-the-field talent truly trump all else?
No Montee Ball? No problem for the Wisconsin Badgers (3-1 overall).
Losing hurts. You can try to say it doesn’t, but it does.
The Wisconsin men’s soccer team (0-1 Big Ten, 2-2-3 overall) only made one mistake Friday night, but it resulted in the deciding goal in the Badgers’ 1-0 loss to Penn State (1-0-0, 6-1-1).
Saturday was a day of firsts for redshirt freshman quarterback Joel Stave. Making his first collegiate start, the Greenfield, Wis. native threw his first touchdown (and interception) and took a big hit from a defender for the first time since high school.

Well, it’s official. Redshirt freshman Joel Stave will be taking the reigns of the struggling Wisconsin (2-1 overall) offense Saturday morning against Texas El-Paso (1-2 overall) in the team’s final non-conference game of the season.
Coming off of a 0-0 tie and a 1-0 win against Western Illinois and IUPUI respectively at the University of Illinois-Chicago Soccer Classic this past weekend, the University of Wisconsin men’s soccer team (2-2-3 overall) looks to continue its winning ways on Friday as it takes on Big Ten foe Penn State (5-1-1 overall) at the McClimon Soccer Complex in the first conference game of the season for both squads.

The No. 14 Wisconsin Badgers women’s soccer team (0-1-0 Big Ten, 6-2-0 overall) open up their home conference schedule at the McClimon Soccer Complex on Friday as they face off with the Michigan State Spartans. Friday’s game will be an important one for the team, as they are coming off a 2-1 loss to No. 11 Penn State last Sunday.
While much of the national spotlight has been centered on the Wisconsin football team’s (2-1 overall) struggling offense, the squad’s defense has been the team’s stabilizing force so far this season.
Every once in a while, I like to get away from writing about college football. It’s not like there’s any shortage of storylines at this point, nor any shortage of opinions about those storylines, but let’s put that aside, just for these few hundred words.
