    Can Wisconsin find a way to finish 18-13 (10-8) and have a shot at NCAA w/ a win or 2 in B1G tourney

    Lunardi says yes, if the Badgers finish 10-8 and avoid any more bad losses, they will be in. Crossing my fingers! Win the next three (Illinois, Nebraska, Ohio State), steal one from Maryland, Michigan State or Iowa and maybe pick up a win or two in the BTT, and we'll be in business to keep our...

    When does the B1g money start to kick in?

    From what I understand, the schools that joined the Big Ten after BTN was created need to buy their shares into the network, just as the first 11 schools bought their shares. Instead of giving Rutgers a full payout, the conference just withholds some money as payment for the shares. That will go...

    My thoughts On visiting Madison for the Wisconsin Game - long

    The stadium atmosphere might have been better had it not been for the weather, which sucked.

    Badger fan here. Everyone on our team is hurt. Our offensive line has featured like seven different combinations this year and is very very young. Our running backs are a walkon and a converted linebacker. Our starting quarterback was concussed last week and his backup played most of the game...

    going to Wisconsin game

    Lakefront Brewery, though I actually haven't spent much time in Milwaukee so I got nothin' else. Green Bay is all PACKERSPACKERSPACKERS all the time, it's a ghost town when the Packers are at home -- everyone is either at the stadium or inside watching the game. Wisconsin is playing LSU at...

    going to Wisconsin game

    I would make the walk. It's fun to walk down the streets and see everyone dressed in red, students milling about, etc. You might want to leave a bit early and grab a brew before you head to the game. If you're staying near the Capitol, get up early and hit the Dane County farmers market on...
