WISCONSIN RUMORS & GOSSIP
James Adeyanju till Badger football 2013
(No 99 problems joke here, Adeyanju opens our countdown to football season!!)
Mmmmm, the smell of freshly beer soaked brats sizzling on the grill, the sounds of "chug, chug, chug" coming from the homes along Breese Terrace and of course the site of a half empty student section at kickoff.... Yep, football season is nearly here folks.
In fact, it's so close that...
Gary Andersen dominates the grill at local Culver’s in another classy move
Wisconsin Badgers coach Gary Andersen slipped on a Culver's apron, hit the grill, and hand-delivered butter burgers for charity.
Preseason Top 25 Players: No. 15, James White
The countdown rolls on here at the B1G Time.
The man slotted as at the No.15 spot, may not have the lengthy list of superlatives that others on this list enjoy, but he never fails to impress on the eye test. While he could likely start in most backfields across the nation, he has played second fiddle for the majority of his college career. He may not have...
Scores Report Interviews Wisconsin Badger Point Guard Traevon Jackson
Even though he just recently finished his sophomore season at the University of Wisconsin, Traevon Jackson comes across just like his game- confident, smooth and mature.
For being just 20 years old, he’s so calm and composed, you can’t help but think about where you were in life at 20….and then sheepishly quit punishing yourself.
Some of that confidence undoubtedly comes from...
Could 2013 Badgers backfield mirror 2010?
Over the past few days there was a nice back and forth via the wonderful world of Twitter and it got me to thinking.... thinking about the awesomeness that was the 2010 Badgers running back stable. Why was I thinking about that season? Well, because the 2013 version of the Badgers backfield has enough talent in it to wonder how they'll be used and 2010 could be the blueprint...
Wright mentoring young QBs beyond X's and O's
Randy Wright freely admits he was too far removed from high school football to appreciate the joy of molding players with grander aspirations in the sport.
He had played quarterback for the Wisconsin Badgers and Green Bay Packers. He spent three years broadcasting Badgers football games on radio and 12 more years covering Big Ten football for ESPN following his playing career. In...

2013 Preseason Top 25 Players: No. 24, Ryan Groy
Welcome into our post-spring look at where the Big Ten stands in terms of talent. We got things kicked off yesterday with a look at our No. 25 player, Christian Bryant of Ohio State. Today we move on to a name that may surprise a few people, not because of the position or school this man comes from, but because he was perhaps overshadowed a lot in the past 24 months or so...
Video tour of Wisconsin’s new state-of-the-art weight room

Ron Dayne joins list of players “finally” elected to College Football Hall of Fame
Despite graduating as the NCAA’s all-time leading rusher, Ron Dayne still had to wait his turn to enter the College Football Hall of Fame.
He was the first player to top 7,000 yards rushing and finished with 7,125 career yards on the ground. That’s over four miles worth of turf that Ron Dayne chewed up in his tenure as the Wisconsin Badgers’ tailback from 1995 to 1999. He graduated...

Big Ten Q&A: Wisconsin Badgers
Wisconsin is coming off a third straight Big Ten football championship but faces a number of questions heading in to the 2013 season. The Badgers are in the midst of a coaching transition after Bret Bielema skipped town prior to the Rose Bowl in favor of a shot at turning around an Arkansas football program recovering from a motorcycle wreck of a season. In comes Gary Andersen...
Wisconsin trying to schedule a game against LSU in Lambeau Field
The Wisconsin Badgers football team has caught a lot of flak for their non-conference schedule in past years. But you have to give some credit to athletic director Barry Alvarez as he tries to beef up the slate in the near future.
The Badgers have a date with Alabama in 2015 at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. A report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says the Badgers are looking to...
Gordon still aiming to be starting running back
MADISON, Wis. The competitor inside Melvin Gordon truly wanted to leave spring practices as Wisconsin's starting running back. The realist in Gordon understood that a sprained ankle, coupled with an excellent spring from teammate James White, meant attaining such a goal was unlikely.
Still, Gordon couldn't help but feel as though he left his best performances somewhere in...

Badgers proved they could beat anyone
MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin's basketball players took their place on a podium one by one to signify the start of the Badgers' season-ending banquet Tuesday night in the Kohl Center. They nearly made it to their seats unscathed, too.
While the seniors were being announced, forward Mike Bruesewitz briefly tripped on a step just before reaching the podium.

Stave states case for QB job in spring game
MADISON, Wis. The countdown to Wisconsin's first football game of the 2013 season stands at 133 days. And if Saturday's spring game was any indication, it might just take all 133 days before the Badgers finally choose a starting quarterback.
OK, perhaps we're talking too much hyperbole. Maybe it will only require 123 days.
"I wouldn't be surprised," Badgers...
