Thanks to his big leg and even bigger personality, freshman kicker Rafael Gaglianone is quickly winning over Wisconsin Badgers players and fans alike.
Over the past few years, an unfortunate narrative for Badger football has emerged. Usually the team operates as a motley crew of bruisers, but if that group plays in a big game to the last minute, something will go terribly wrong.
The No. 4 Badgers (8-0) will play their final nonconference matches this weekend in the Pac-12/Big Ten Showcase hosted in Seattle. Wisconsin plays No. 10 USC (6-2) Thursday night and No. 5 Washington (9-0) Friday night.
After an up-and-down weekend that saw the Badgers’ seven-game winning streak come to an end, No. 13 Wisconsin (7-1-0) has had time to reflect as it prepares for another Big Ten opponent this weekend.
Coming off a tough 3-2 overtime defeat, the Badgers (1-4-0) will look to get their season back on track Friday against St. John’s (1-3-2).
After following up a gut-wrenching, opening-week loss with a lopsided win at home, Wisconsin has an opportunity to stabilize itself in its third contest of the season against visiting Bowling Green Saturday.
College football season is in full swing, which means the upsets have started rolling in like a rising tide, but not a Crimson Tide (screw you Alabama). Last Saturday saw four ranked teams bite the dust. Georgia, USC, Virginia Tech and Louisville.

Your local child abuser and woman beater just got arrested the other day.
It was certainly an emotional three-day stretch for the Badgers.
The national spotlight provided a thriller at the McClimon Complex on Friday night.
The No. 4 Wisconsin volleyball team (8-0) continued the impressive start to their season by staying undefeated and winning the HotelRed Invitational at the UW Field House.

Welcome back to campus, Badgers! After an exciting summer for soccer, highlighted by Brazil’s World Cup, some of you might be suffering from footie withdrawal, and might be interested in following the world’s game more seriously this season. Well, fear not, because this coming semester Lars and I are here to guide you through the ups and downs of the Premier League (or “the Prem” for short), and we’ll start this week with a guide to a league which is only three games into its 38-game season.
