Packers Address Key Needs In NFL Draft
There’s nothing like the start of a new football season and the NFL draft kicks it all off. Sure, no games are played and it occurs five months before the season starts. Even so, the draft has a similar feel to opening day in baseball. Every player selected is a potential superstar, and if they […]

Reflections on a Buzzer Beater
The 1975 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds is best known for its epic Game 6. What made this game so special is that its greatness was clear well before it was over. During his 10th inning at bat Pete Rose famously told Carlton Fisk “this is some kind of game, isn’t […]

Over the past two weeks I’ve been bullish about the Wisconsin Badgers making the College Football Playoffs. The most recent rankings were released on Tuesday night and I’ve officially switched from “bullish” to “extremely bearish.” Unlike past weeks, a feasible path to the playoffs does not exist for the Badgers.

The Wisconsin Badgers have a shockingly plausible path to the College Football playoffs. The Badgers find themselves #6 in the most recent college football playoff rankings, an improvement from #7 last week.

The most recent college football rankings were released on Tuesday night. The good news for the Wisconsin Badgers (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten) is that they are the highest-ranked (#7) two-loss team in the country. The bad news is the Badgers are a two-loss team.

Let’s Hope Nigel Hayes Returns to UW
Nigel Hayes declared for the NBA Draft on Wednesday, but he did not hire an agent. That last part is important because it gives Hayes the option of returning to the University of Wisconsin for his senior season. I think it’s safe to say Badger fans want Hayes to spend one more year in Madison. The Badgers […]

For the first time since 2013 the Final Four will not involve a team named the Wisconsin Badgers.
