UW favorite in West, three team race for East

By Bremen Keasey | Sep. 1, 2017

After then-junior Trace McSorley and his rocket arm catapulted the Penn State Nittany Lions to a 38-31 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers in the Big 10 Championship Game last season, crushing the Badgers’ last hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff or the Rose Bowl, many Wisconsin fans started uttering the familiar mantra of “there’s always next year.” Well, the 2017 year is finally here, and No. 9 Wisconsin will look to bring back a conference title to Madison this year.

Coveted freshman class pushes Wisconsin past Louisville, Badgers secure sweep in season opener

By David Gwidt | Aug. 26, 2017

Following an offseason rife with roster turnover and personnel change, the Wisconsin Badgers arrived at the UW Field House Friday night in its opening match of 2017 looking quite different than it had a year ago. Despite adding eight players over the summer, seven of whom are freshmen, the reconfigured, seventh-ranked Badgers (1-0) appeared to have little trouble finding their footing on the floor, sweeping the Louisville Cardinals (0-1) by a score of 25-18, 25-19, 26-24 in the first round of the annual Big Ten/ACC challenge.

Athlete of the Year: Carlini solidifies legacy as all-time great in final season

By David Gwidt | May. 1, 2017

In early April, Lauren Carlini stepped under the bright lights of the Big Apple and took a seat atop the stage inside the storied New York Athletic Club, utterly unprepared for the historic moment she would soon experience. Among some of the finest amatuer athletes in the world, the former Wisconsin setter felt exceedingly privileged to receive recognition as a finalist for the AAU James E.

By Jake Nisse | Apr. 26, 2017

The world is shrinking. The Worldwide Leader in Sports, that is. For the second time in three years, ESPN has undergone significant company layoffs, as on-air talent and staff writers are being ousted from the company. After spending billions of dollars in recent years to acquire television rights for the NBA and the NFL, the network has seen its subscriber numbers plummet.
