Coming into Saturday’s game against Illinois, the Wisconsin football team (5-2 Big Ten, 9-2 overall) had struggled on the road. However, a second half comeback helped exorcise the Badgers’ road demons and sets up a do-or-die matchup with Penn State (6-1, 9-2) Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.
The scandal exposed at Penn State University earlier this month is nothing short of devastating. Weeks after its initial surfacing, it is still a highly discussed issue on campus, especially with this Saturday’s upcoming matchup.

Coming off an encouraging series with No. 1 Minnesota, the Wisconsin men's hockey team was looking to continue their success against top ranked teams. But after a weekend sweep at the hands of No. 5 Colorado College, the Badgers are still left searching for answers on the road.
Final scores can often be misleading, and Wisconsin's 28-17 win over Illinois Saturday is certainly no exception. While the Badgers (5-2 Big Ten, 9-2 overall) survived their final road test and continue to control their own destiny in the Big Ten Leaders Division, this game was far from pretty.
After Ohio State and Penn State lost and the Badgers (4-2 Big Ten, 8-2 overall) took care of business against Minnesota, the natural reaction was to consider what a de facto Divisions League championship game would look like Nov. 26 at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison.

One trait evident in all championship teams is their ability to find motivation for a game regardless of the competition.
The No. 13 Badgers (2-0) will host the Wofford Terriers (1-1) Saturday night at the Kohl Center.
In search of its first home victory of the season, the Wisconsin women's basketball team welcomes Washington State to the Kohl Center Friday. The Badgers are coming off of a difficult 54-52 road loss at the hands of in-state rival Marquette Tuesday. Wisconsin (1-2) had a 49-46 lead with 2:37 to play, but the Golden Eagles scored eight of the last 11 points in the game to secure the victory.
After a resounding 54 point victory against Kennesaw State Saturday—in which the Wisconsin men’s basketball team shot 15-25 from behind the arc and moved up one spot to No. 14 in the AP Poll—the Badgers looked to pick up its second regular season win against the Colgate Raiders of the Patriot League Wednesday.
Each year brings new promise for the Wisconsin men’s basketball team, and Badger freshmen certainly play a role in fulfilling that promise. While there may not be any big name recruits this season, the incoming class certainly has a lot to offer.
Wisconsin men’s hockey head coach Mike Eaves announced the signing of three players to National Letters of Intent in the early signing period on Wednesday. The signees were forwards Nicolas Kerdiles and Morgan Zulinick and defenseman Kevin Schulze.
There was plenty to talk about following Wisconsin's 85-31 season-opening win over Kennesaw State. From the record-tying first half in which the Badgers only gave up eight points to the 54-point margin of victory, their largest since 2006, the season opener was certainly a wake up call to a UW fanbase heading into yet another season not knowing what to expect.
The Badgers (1-2) led against in-state rival Marquette (2-0) 47-43 with just 4:25 left in the contest, but were outscored 11-5 for the remainder of the game and fell 54-52 at the Al McGuire Center in Milwaukee.
After watching the first month and a half of the season, I really can't figure out what to make of this season's Wisconsin men's hockey team.
The Wisconsin football team (4-2 Big Ten, 8-2 overall) has been running on all cylinders after throttling Minnesota 42-13 to retain possession of Paul Bunyan’s Axe for the eighth-straight year and is looking to carry that momentum into Saturday’s game against Illinois (2-4, 6-4).
The Wisconsin women’s basketball team gets yet another chance in less than a week to take down an in-state rival Tuesday, as the Badgers head to Milwaukee yet again to square off against Marquette.
The No. 15 Wisconsin men's basketball team (1-0) took on the Kennesaw State Fighting Owls (0-1) Saturday in the first ever meeting between the two teams.
