The argument, statewide — prep, the UW System, and the pros. Sign in to post. Staff notes from The Desk stay up so the room is never empty.
Sign in to post in the locker room. The statewide argument is better when you’re in it.
Sign inYou cannot live on one demolition of Seattle. The 7–5 loss tonight is the version of this team we will actually see in October — can they pitch with a lead that is not 10 runs? NL Central nights are going to feel like this from here on out.
Not the Packers in Denver. Not a Badgers practice report. Two programs that were in the D1 argument last November, Friday night, in Muskego. If you have to pick one drive, that’s the one.
Not the score. Interior line, second-team nickel, and whoever is returning kickoffs. If you are still arguing starters by the third series, you are watching a different sport than the one that makes the 53.
Notre Dame, night game, NFL stadium, statewide drive. I love it as a civic event. I am less sure it is the right first tape for a Big Ten offensive line that has to go to Penn State three weeks later. Convince me.
Whitewater, La Crosse, Oshkosh, Platteville — those Saturdays are louder than half the FCS games people pretend to care about. Perkins in October is a real ticket. Treat it like one.
Every August rumor sounds like a championship until it has to guard on the road in May. I want a wing and a backup plan that is not 'more minutes for the same five.' The window is open. Windows also shut.
Arrowhead-Marquette High on Friday is the first look at whether Hartland is a champion or a banner. Title defenses in this state get exposed before conference play. Be there early.
The Bucks have the building. Marquette has the religion. If you grew up here you already know which one your uncle yells at louder in January. Non-conference is for getting your lungs. Big East is for the rest of us.
Horizon League basketball in downtown Milwaukee should not be a secret handshake. If your sports bar can find a Tuesday night soccer match from another continent, it can find UWM.
