First off let me say congratulations to Davidson for winning their NCAA tournament game tonight, but no way are they a better team than the Wisconsin Badgers.
I mean, Davidson plays in some kind of makeshift JV league, they’re all 5′9″ and 110 lbs., they all have mommies and daddies who tell them they’re special. Its […]

Actually it would not be sweet at all to have to be sixteen and go through high school all over again. If my teenage years played out like John Hughes’ Sixteen Candles, I can’t say that I would have been the nerdy Bryce played by John Cusack or even his buddy Cliff. I would have […]

A nice solid game last night by the UW men’s basketball team in their opening game of the NCAA tournament. They were a little sloppy with 17 turnovers, but overall I thought the Badgers dealt with Cal Fullerton’s speed pretty well.
One thing I couldn’t stand, though, were the announcers Kevin Harlan and Dan Bonner. Do […]

Cheers to the UW Badgers basketball team for an impressive win over Illinois to add the Big Ten tournament championship to their awards and honors this season. Jeers to the NCAA selection committee for seeding Wisconsin third in the Midwest.
Actually I’m not all that surprised at the bracket selection, but seriously you’d think winning the […]

Now it’s for real.
Congratulations to the UW Badgers for winning the Big Ten regular season title outright with a 65-52 victory yesterday at Northwestern. Badgercentric has a great recap of the season and where the Badgers stand heading into the Big Ten tournament this coming weekend.

Congratulations to the Wisconsin men’s basketball team for clinching a share at least of the Big Ten regular season championship. The Badgers rolled through Penn State last night 77-41 for their 15th conference victory and the third title of Bo Ryan’s tenure.
But who wants to share? Bucky can win the conference outright with a win […]

How about we start today off with some good news, eh? And this picture of Buckingham Badger always makes me feel a little bit better about everything.
Last night while most of us were still trying to come to terms with Brett Favre retiring, Ohio State defeated Purdue 80-77 in overtime, leaving the Wisconsin men’s basketball […]

Nice job by Michigan State undressing Indiana today. Sparty got off to an explosive start in the first half before rolling to a 103-74 victory. I just hope this isn’t the start of something bigger for MSU as we move towards the Big Ten tournament.
With the Hoosiers falling, that leaves the Badgers and Purdue tied […]

Let me preface this post by saying that last night’s game was just the second Wisconsin basketball game that I have watched in full this season (thank you very little, Big Ten Network), so I won’t pretend to have any deep insight into the inner workings of this year’s squad. I will say, though, that […]

The winter hours creep by so slowly when there’s no football to obsess about. Has it really been a week since the last time I wrote anything on this blog? Not wanting it to look completely dormant I suppose I should post something here, so let’s review the last week’s news, shall we? (Yes, we […]
