Brian Posick has been serving as radio play-by play man for hockey games at the University of Wisconsin since 2002, so it might seem strange that an early goal in a 7-0 early-season blowout would be among his favorite calls.

But on Friday, Posick called his daughter’s first goal with the Badgers. Maddie Posick made it 2-0 against Penn State in what became a blowout as the defending national champions moved to 4-0.

While the preseason gets under way for the Wisconsin men’s basketball team, there is a notable absence.

Ken Werner aims high. When he was 12, he decided to see every square inch of Earth and meet every person on the planet in his lifetime.

“So goal setting has always been a situation for me,” understates the Mukwonago man, who turns 73 on Monday.

Numerous universities around America have taken the step to sell alcohol at on-campus athletic events, and it appears as if soon, the University of Wisconsin will be doing the same.

UW-Madison Athletic Director Barry Alvarez said he wouldn’t schedule any California teams after that state’s governor signed a new law Monday that will allow student athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness.

MADISON (CBS 58) – Some of Wisconsin’s top college athletics officials expressed concern following the signing of a California law that will allow college athletes in that state to be compensated.

University of Wisconsin Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez says he wouldn’t schedule the Badgers to play against teams from California after a controversial law was signed into effect.

University of Wisconsin Director of Athletics Barry Alvarez told Milwaukee’s 620 WTMJ today that UW would no longer schedule teams from California if that becomes the case.

Decrease in impact may be due to conservative estimates, decline in football attendance.

The unveiling was part of a weekend that marked the dividing line between the celebration of last season’s success and the opening of a new campaign. The 2019-20 NCAA women’s hockey calendar officially opened last Saturday, and the top-ranked Badgers play their first game Friday at Lindenwood.

While the Wisconsin Badgers student section was jumping around — as they do — one Michigan Wolverines fan was not having it.

Badger fans are no stranger to game delays: just last month, a rain delay at the University of South Florida pushed kickoff time back about an hour. In the event of severe weather at Camp Randall Stadium, UW has a plan.

Camp Randall Stadium is the oldest stadium in the Big 10 conference and home to the Wisconsin Badgers.

More Badger fans have something to jump around for. On Thursday, UW-Madison announced a limited quantity of tickets are being released for the previously sold out game.

In a Facebook post, Allen Centennial Garden, a botanical garden on the UW-Madison campus, made a bet with the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum at the University of Michigan about which university’s football team will win the game.

In her first collegiate event, University of Wisconsin freshman golfer Emily Lauterbach shot a final-round 2-over-par 74 Tuesday to finish tied for 19th place at the Glass City Invitational.

Wisconsin men’s basketball coach Greg Gard may never forget the phone call he received early on the morning of May 25.

Gard had driven out of town with his wife and three children and planned to spend Memorial Day weekend relaxing and bonding with his family.

Should wide receiver Quintez Cephus be enrolled as a student at the University of Wisconsin—Madison, let alone play for the Badgers football team?This question could soon become a legal matter for the university.

It is a well-rounded class filled with athletes from the swim team, track, football, and special services.

A ceremony was held at the Camp Randall Memorial Sports Center, which is adjacent to Camp Randall Stadium.

The policy change mandates automatic suspension of any student athlete who is arrested or charged with a specified crime.

Wilson grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and went to college first at North Carolina State University and then at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He played for NC State’s football team, the Wolfpack, for three years and then played for the Wisconsin Badgers for one. He’s been all around the U.S., but Seattle was a new experience for him.

After that season, Watt transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After being redshirted for the 2008 season, he debuted for the Badgers as a defensive end in 2009. Watt showed potential immediately, putting up 4.5 sacks in 13 games for a team that would make the Champs Sports Bowl and defeat Miami.

There was a healthy list of reasons why the University of Wisconsin men’s hockey team wanted to take part in a foreign tour that the NCAA allows once every four summers.

Big Ten coaches have picked the Badgers as the favorites to win the Big Ten Conference in volleyball for the 2019 season. UW finished 3rd in 2018.

Another football season is upon us and the Wisconsin Badgers will open this week in a stadium that sports hand rails for the fans in the seats.

“God is good! So thankful to be eligible to play with my teammates!”

Pomrehn joined the program in May as its football performance dietitian, a newly created position. Three months into her job, Pomrehn says she’s still getting to know the Badgers and understands why her presence in the dining hall at Camp Randall Stadium might have caused some trepidation at first.

Two days after being reinstated as a student at the University of Wisconsin, Quintez Cephus was back on the football practice field with his teammates.

University of Wisconsin junior running back Jonathan Taylor and junior center Tyler Biadasz were both named first-team preseason All-American by the Associated Presson Tuesday.

Wisconsin football coach Paul Chryst said on Wednesday that there’s still eligibility issues remaining and no timeline is set for when Cephus will be able to play in a game. When asked by a reporter as to whether school credits was part of the issue, he answered, “Yeah it’s that. I think it’s along those lines.”

This comes after Cephus was reinstated back into the UW-Madison and rejoined the Badgers.

University of Wisconsin head football coach, Paul Chryst, said Quintez Cephus went through his first practice Wednesday since being reinstated to the University.

Wisconsin receiver Quintez Cephus returned to practice Wednesday, though he is not eligible to play in games yet at least in part because he lacks credits after he was expelled this spring amid sexual assault allegations.
