Sports media hypocritical with discourse

By Scott Kellogg | Feb. 3, 2010

A couple weeks ago when Charles Woodson was announced as the Defensive Player of the Year, Rex Ryan, the head coach of the New York Jets, was asked about the decision. If Ryan followed the rules of coach speak, he would have told reporters he was hoping his cornerback Darrelle Revis would win the award, but that Charles Woodson is a great player and he respects the decision.

Out in the cold: Classic trades stadium turf for temporary ice

While most students enjoyed a nice snow day after a blizzard swept through Madison last December, crews at Camp Randall Stadium worked to keep the field and stands clear of snow to get ready for this weekend's Camp Randall Hockey Classic. Thanks in part to their work, Patrick Seltsman and Ice Rink Events were able to construct a playing surface in the middle of a football stadium in little more than a week.

For Alberta native Saige Pacholok, outdoor hockey is nothing new. Growing up in Canada, Pacholok has plenty of experience playing on frozen ponds, meaning there are sure to be flashbacks to her childhood when she takes to the ice for the Camp Randall Hockey Classic.

By Nico Savidge | Feb. 2, 2010

There's no question hockey's experiment with outdoor games has done great things for the sport. The NHL's Winter Classic is on its way to becoming a New Year's Day tradition, and with college teams getting on the bandwagon, the potential for games in great venues—such as the ones that will take place Saturday—is only increasing.

UW misses chance to claim WCHA lead

DULUTH, Minn.—Coming into this weekend's series with league-leading Minnesota-Duluth, the No. 2 Wisconsin Badgers had the top of the WCHA square in the crosshairs. That target looked even more attainable after a 5-2 victory on Friday night that featured good goal play and stellar special teams. However, UW slipped drastically in both areas Saturday night, took a season-high 13 penalties, looking completely destitute in a 4-0 loss.

This past weekend the No.10 Wisconsin women's hockey team traveled to Columbus for a two-game set versus Ohio State. This series was vital to the Badgers' postseason hopes. At the start of the weekend, Wisconsin was sitting two spots out of an NCAA tournament berth, so taking the full four points from the Buckeyes was crucial.

DULUTH, Minn.—Wisconsin's keys to victory coming into their series with Minnesota-Duluth were pretty simple: Use good goaltending and strong defense to contain the No. 9 Bulldogs' top line of Mike Connolly, Jack Connolly and Justin Fontaine, and pressure the Duluth goal with a relentless shooting attack.

For the second weekend in a row, the Badgers are set to tangle with a top dog. Last weekend, Wisconsin went toe to toe with the top-ranked team in the country and came away with three points. Now it travels to Duluth with a chance to deliver a similar performance and dethrone the current WCHA leader.

Postseason failures plague Wisconsin

By Jack Doyle | Jan. 29, 2010

Now that February is almost upon us, it is only one short month until the most exciting event in college sports: March Madness. With the Badgers owning a surprising No. 16 ranking, and currently only second to Michigan State in the Big Ten standings, I started to wonder how Wisconsin might fare in this year's Big Dance. Even with Wisconsin's impressive 16-5 record, it didn't take long for me to come up with an answer: at best, a win or two.

Since junior forward Jon Leuer went down with a wrist injury over two weeks ago, Wisconsin has done more than stay afloat. The Badgers are 3-1 without Leuer and have risen to second place in the Big Ten. But tonight brings Wisconsin's greatest test without Leuer, as the No. 16 Badgers (6-2 Big Ten, 16-4 overall) travel to West Lafayette for a critical matchup with No. 12 Purdue (4-3, 16-3).
