It’s nice to see that the Packers front office is not averse to adding some home-grown, Dairyland talent to the roster, or at least giving it a try.
Punter Ken Debauche was signed to a free agent contract Sunday immediately after the draft. He finished his career at Wisconsin as the second all-time punter for the […]

I’ve been reading the posts on the Journal Sentinel’s Badger Blog about Wisconsin fifth-year senior linebacker James Kamoku and his family, who have been going through a pretty rough time lately. His mother cannot work because of back problems, his grandmother suffered a heart attack recently, and he has an uncle on disability. Worst of […]

I was wrapping presents and had ESPN on in the other room, and Jesse Palmer was talking about the upcoming bowl games. He was saying that the best match-up this year was between Wisconsin and Tennessee in the Outback Bowl. Of course Palmer went on The Bachelor and picked a girl who later dumped him, […]

With all the attention focused on the Green Bay game in Dallas, I very nearly missed the news that the Wisconsin football team has accepted an invitation to play in the Outback Bowl this New Year’s Day. Congrats to Bret Beilema and his whole squad.
I was somewhat afraid that with the way the season went […]

Maybe its wasn’t as dramatic as 2005, but the UW Badgers football team still made it interesting at the Metrodome yesterday. Wisconsin dug itself a deep hole early before gutting out a 41-34 win over the Minnesota Gophers to hang on to Paul Bunyan’s Axe one more year. Hopefully after this season, Bret Bielema and […]

The regular season finale is upon us this weekend when the #25 Wisconsin Badgers make the trek to the Humpty Dome to play Minnesota. The Gophers are just looking pretty dreadful this year with an 0-7 record in the Big 10 and 1-10 overall. They lost to North Dakota State, for gosh sakes! I don’t […]

Way to go Wisconsin Badgers! Too bad it won’t get UW into a major bowl game, but such is life. Still, it was an impressive win over Michigan, one that should inspire the team to another bowl victory, where ever that might be.
Now everyone will say that maybe the Wolverines were looking past the Badgers, […]

With the 2007 football season drawing to a close, the Wisconsin Badgers have one more huge game before the obligatory bookend against the Gophers. Michigan is coming to Madison and an upset Saturday could mean redemption for a banged up program.
Over at the Wisconsin Sports Bar, the prevailing thought is that even beating Big Blue […]

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is a fine newspaper that on most days does an adequate job of covering the Wisconsin sports scene. Yesterday, though, the city’s paper of record went above and beyond in the insight department discoursing on the Badgers loss to Ohio State:
In short, [coach Bret Bielema] believed the Badgers had to capitalize […]

The Badgers were one quarter away from pulling off the biggest upset of the season. The defense had held Ohio State to just 10 points in the first half and then the offense turned it on after halftime to score touchdowns on their first two drives. Wisconsin led 17-10 with about 21 minutes to play […]
