Single Game Tickets For Badgers Football On Sale Monday

Badgers 2013 Football TicketsSingle-seat tickets to five 2013 Wisconsin football games will go on sale Monday morning. Non-conference games at Camp Randall will be included in the sale, as will all away games. It is the first public sale of the season, and the first offered by the school since season tickets in the student section became available in mid-June. The over 12,000 packages in that sale sold in just 2 hours, signaling a strong interest in the team's 2013 campaign.

Tickets to the Badgers trio of inter-conference home games are expected to go fairly quick, as well. Camp Randall sold out 41 consecutive times until late September 2009, and the 80,000 seat stadium is still full more-often-than-not on Saturdays during the season.

The University of Massachusetts kicks off 2013 and Wisconsin's non-conference schedule in Madison on August 31st before Tennessee Tech follows on September 7th. The Badgers most anticipated non-conference match-up at home comes against Brigham-Young University on November 9th. Face value for tickets to these games range from $45 to $65.

Availability of tickets to the team's five away games this season will be limited on Monday. Dates at Big-10 rivals Ohio State, Iowa, and Minnesota have already sold-out through sales from those schools, and tickets will not be available for purchase through the Wisconsin system. Tickets to the team's games at Arizona State on September 14th and at Illinois on October 19th will go on sale, however. Face value is $60 and $49, respectively, for the pair.

Public single-game tickets to the Badgers four home conference games in 2013 will go on sale on Monday, August 5th. Purdue, Northwestern, Indiana, and Penn State will all visit Camp Randall from the Big-10 during the season.

Badgers get a new offensive line coach


After each of the first two games of this season, redshirt junior center Travis Frederick said the offensive line was struggling to find its way more than he expected it to, despite working in new regular starters at three positions.
In the aftermath of Bret Bielema’s decision to fire first-year offensive line coach Mike Markuson Sunday, it appears the marching orders have been cleared up a bit: Do things the way that they were done when Bob Bostad was in charge.
Bostad oversaw the Badgers’ frontline for four seasons and was a UW assistant for six years before departing in January. He originally took a job on former offensive coordinator Paul Chryst’s staff before being hired as the offensive line coach for the National Football League’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Bielema said Monday he promoted little-known graduate assistant Bart Miller to “bridge a little bit of what we had last year to where we are now.”
Tuesday, the Badgers began their preparation for Saturday’s home contest against Utah State (2-0) with their second offensive line coach in nine months. That is sure to reset the transition period, even if the transition is now to try to re-apply, rather than learn anew.
“You just have to have a plan, work the plan and plan for the unexpected,” first-year offensive coordinator Matt Canada said Tuesday. “We’re going to drive forward and make the best of a difficult situation, as you would in life when a lot of things come your way.”
Usually, reporters are able to interview up to four offensive players and assistant coaches Tuesday evening, but this week the list was restricted to five players and four assistants. Redshirt senior left tackle Rick Wagner was the lone offensive lineman available and Miller was the only assistant not made available.
Miller is in his second year in the program after serving as a quality control coach a season ago. He played for Bostad at New Mexico in 2005 and graduated in 2007. Miller worked for the National Hockey League’s Chicago Blackhawks for two years before returning to college football as a graduate assistant at New Mexico State in 2010. In his weekly press conference on Monday, Bielema said he would not have made the change if Miller were not so familiar with the program. Wagner reiterated those sentiments Tuesday.
Let's hope it makes a difference.

Badgers Face Penn State


Coming into Saturday’s game against Illinois, the Wisconsin football team (5-2 Big Ten, 9-2 overall) had struggled on the road. However, a second half comeback helped exorcise the Badgers’ road demons and sets up a do-or-die matchup with Penn State (6-1, 9-2) Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.
Defensively, the Badgers were able to come back on Illinois thanks to timely interceptions by seniors Antonio Fenelus and Aaron Henry as well as another by junior defensive back Shelton Johnson. Sophomore linebacker Chris Borland was again able to make an impact by recording double-digit tackles (18) for the sixth time this season in addition to forcing a fumble. Offensively, Bielema credited senior fullback Brady Ewing as well as junior running back Montee Ball with the offensive surge in the second half.
“Montee Ball was our offensive MVP, as well as Brady Ewing. [Brady] had his best game of the year, he was always at the point of attack clearing space for the backs,” Bielema said. “A lot of times Brady is throwing the key block that the running back is able to read and go for yards.”
Runs by senior quarterback Russell Wilson and Ball capped a comeback win that set up a winner-take-all scenario against Penn State (6-1, 9-2) on Saturday where the victor will advance to the first ever Big Ten Championship game to be played Dec. 3 at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis.
Let's hope the Badgers are playing in Indy next week.  GO BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Badgers looking forward to Nebraska


Non-conference play proved to be a breeze for the Wisconsin football team, but with the Big Ten season beginning this weekend, the Badgers will find out just how good of a team they really are.
The No. 8 Nebraska Cornhuskers come to Madison hoping to make their mark on the Big Ten and the Badgers in their inaugural conference game Saturday.
UW head coach Bret Bielema knows how big of a game this is and also how important home-field advantage will be.
"Camp Randall should be rocking," Bielema said.
The Badgers are not taking this game lightly by any means, andBielema wants students to get to the game early and make Camp Randall Stadium as loud as possible.
"We encourage everybody to get in their seat and bring as much red as possible and make that place electric," he said.
Saturday's matchup will be the first game at Camp Randall Stadium between two teams ranked in the top 10 since 1962, and with all the media attention that goes along with a game like this, the players have to maintain their concentration.
"You've got football, you've got academics; this is a busy time for us," Bielema said. "Our kids really have to be great about where their focus is."
Nebraska is undefeated and coming off of a 38-14 win at Wyoming. They run a fast-paced, no-huddle attack that utilizes a quick tempo to catch their opponents off guard. While this may be a different offensive scheme than what the Badgers employ, the two teams do share several similarities, which are not lost on Bielema.
"Both of our athletic directors are former coaches that had hall-of-fame careers," Bielema said, "Nebraska players are like Wisconsin players; they both really love to play the game."
Bielema and Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini have some similarities themselves, both getting their first taste of coaching at the University of Iowa. As a graduate assistant for the HawkeyesPelini even helped coach Bielema for one season in 1991.
I know everyone will be watching and praying for a Badger victory.  GO BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Badgers are looking for the Rose Bowl


If there was ever a week to go 1-0, this is it.
Wisconsin is 10-1 and just needs a win this Saturday against 7-4 Northwestern to assure itself a share of its first Big Ten title since 1999. And depending on how two other conference games shake out, the Badgers could feel quite flowery by game’s end.
UW’s game starts at 2:30 CT, with co-Big Ten leaders Ohio State and Michigan State playing at 11. If the Badgers win, a Spartans loss gives the Badgers the conference’s automatic BCS berth to the Rose Bowl, while a Buckeye upset at the hands of Michigan sends MSU to Pasadena. If all three teams win out and finish 11-1, 6-1 in conference play, the highest-ranked squad in the BCS — almost certainly Wisconsin — gets the bid.
The results of the other two games will be featured on the Camp Randall scoreboard, so there’s no keeping the Badgers from knowing exactly what could be on the line during their game.
“We’re not going to ask the scoreboard people to keep it off the board, so it just kind of comes as it is,” UW head coach Bret Bielema said. “I think the part that’s nice for us all going into this week is we’re already in a situation where if we just handle our business, take care of what we’re supposed to, whatever happens on Saturday outside of Camp Randall is in other people’s hands. We’ll just handle our own.”
A Rose Bowl bid for the Badgers would be awesome.  GO BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wisconsin to host Indiana


With just three games left in Wisconsin's regular season, there is plenty of speculation swirling about where the No. 6 Badgers will wind up playing their bowl game.
Bowl games and warm weather aside, the Badgers are just happy to be home for a week. UW (4-1 Big Ten, 8-1 overall) welcomes Indiana (0-5, 4-5) to Camp Randall Stadium for the first football in Madison since Wisconsin knocked off Ohio State on Oct. 16.
The Hoosiers Big Ten mark is certainly not pretty, but they played a seven-point game against Michigan, suffered a three-point loss to Northwestern and would almost certainly have beat Iowa last weekend if wide receiver Damarlo Belcher (65 receptions, 704 yards, four touchdowns) could have held on to a touchdown with under a minute left.
"We don't really see them as a 4-5 team," UW senior linebacker Culmer St. Jean said. "We see them as a 7-2 team that just hasn't had the luck. They're one play away every week."
The Hoosiers have stayed competitive by unleashing a dangerous passing attack, led by senior quarterback Ben Chappell. Chappell is averaging a Big Ten-best 296.3 passing yards per game and has 18 passing touchdowns against nine interceptions so far this season.
The Badger defense saw the capabilities of Chappell last season, as the Bloomington, Ind. native threw for 323 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-28 Wisconsin victory. Unlike recent quarterbacks UW has seen against Purdue and Ohio State, Chappell is a pocket passer. However, according to junior free safety Aaron Henry, that does not make Chappell any easier to play against.
"A lot of guys, once they start to scramble and feel pressure, they have a tendency to not keep their eyes down field," Henry said. "This guy, he'll stand in the pocket and throw a laser."
With any pass-heavy offense comes the opportunity to make plays in the secondary. Entering last weekend's contest against Purdue, the Wisconsin defense had forced just seven total turnovers. Against the Boilermakers, though, UW forced four-all on passing plays. St. Jean said the defense did not change its approach, and that he expects the trend to continue.
"[The four turnovers] really reassure us that if everybody does their jobs, there are going to be opportunities and we just have to capitalize them," he said. "The turnovers are going to come."
Opponents of the Badgers have struggled all season to force mistakes out of UW's veteran offense, but have found little success. Through nine games, Wisconsin has turned the ball over seven times-including just two fumbles lost.
That may come as little surprise, considering the strength of Wisconsin's ground game. That attack will be without junior running back John Clay this weekend though, who is recovering from a sprained MCL suffered against Purdue. Freshman James White appears to be healthy and ready to split carries with sophomore Montee Ball.
The Hoosiers defense ranks near the bottom of the Big Ten in rushing defense (ninth at 166.1 yards allowed per game). Without an elite defensive front, Indiana may have to sell out to stop the run.
"Seeing zone blitzes and things like that is nothing new for us," offensive line coach Bob Bostad said. "We've just got to be ready to handle whatever they throw at us."
Let's hope the Badgers can keep it rolling.  GO BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bielema not in favor of 9 game conference schedule



University of Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema touched on a variety of newsworthy topics in an interview Monday with local media at the annual Big Ten Conference Football Media Days.
Minutes after hearing commissioner Jim Delany say it’s likely the Big Ten will go to nine conference games in the near future, Bielema probably voiced the opinion of the coaches when he said:
“I know one conference that did it is the Pac-10 Conference and they’re trying to do everything they can to get out of it. Maybe we ought to look at history.”
The biggest argument Bielema has against it is the imbalance created by having half of the teams with five conference home games and half with four.
“In this conference, a home game is a tremendous advantage,” Bielema said. “Years you have five versus years you have four, I bet you would be a dramatic difference.”
Bielema didn’t seem to mind that Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor was tabbed by the media as the Preseason Offensive Player of the Year, even though UW junior running back John Clay returns after winning the award last year.
“I’m glad it was (Pryor),” Bielema said. “John’s got enough things on his plate, with Heisman talk.”  
It is going to be very interesting how the Big Ten expansion will affect the Badgers.  I hope we will still have seven games a year at Camp Randall.  GO BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Badgers Ranked 6th in Preseason Poll


The 2010 Lindy’s Football Preview has released its preseason predictions and fans of Wisconsin football will like what they see. As a team, the Badgers are ranked No. 6 in the magazine’s preseason poll, while senior offensive lineman Gabe Carimi has been named first team All-America, and fellow seniors John Moffitt and Lance Kendricks have been named second team All-American.Wisconsin has 18 starters returning from a team what went 10-3 and defeated then-No. 14 Miami in the Champs Sports Bowl last season. Ten of the starters are back on offense, with six more coming back on defense, as well as kicker Philip Welch and punter Brad Nortman. Overall, 46 letterwinners return for UW.The Badgers are one of four Big Ten teams ranked in the poll, with only Ohio State, which is No. 3, ranking higher. Iowa, whom the Badgers visit on Oct. 23, is ranked 10th, while Penn State, which is not on UW’s schedule, is ranked 24th.Carimi started all 13 games at left tackle last season for Wisconsin, taking home first-team All-Big Ten honors in the process. For his career, Carimi has started 36 games since taking over for former Outland Trophy Winner Joe Thomas.With former tight end Garrett Graham the lone starter not returning on offense, Kendricks will have a much larger role in the offense in 2010. Kendricks finished fourth on the team a year ago with 29 receptions for 356 yards. His coming out party came in the Champs Sports Bowl against Miami, recording career highs with seven catches for 128 yards, including a career-long 37 yard reception.Joining Kendricks on the second team is Moffitt. Like Carimi, Moffitt was a first-team All-Big Ten selection in 2009. Moffitt played in 11 games last season, starting 10 (eight at left guard, two at center), after missing the first two games of the season due to injury. In his career, Moffitt has started 29 of the 32 games in which he has played.The Badgers open the 2010 season on Sept. 4 at UNLV before making their home debut the following week against San Jose State. The national edition of the 2010 Lindy’s Football Preview will be available on newsstands on June 1 while the Big Ten edition will be available on June 15.
Lets hope that the Badgers can make a run at a BCS game. GO BUCKY!!!!!!!!!

Three Badger Football Players Are Suspended

University of Wisconsin football head coach Bret Bielema recently announced the suspension of three football players due to an alleged violation of team rules.
Freshmen Kraig Appleton, Shelby Harris and Nick Hill have all been suspended from the team indefinitely, spokesperson for the Athletic Department Brian Lucas said.
In the case of an indefinite suspension, there is no assigned end time to the punishment, rather the suspending authority — in this case Bret Bielema — can enforce the suspension for however long he deems appropriate.
Lucas, along with other administrators of the Athletic Department, would not provide any details concerning the motivation for the suspensions or the possible consequences the team now faces.
Despite their alleged violations, the three men do remain students at the university, Lucas said.
Appleton, the only one of the three who played last season, is a wide receiver from East St. Louis, IL who finished the season with three receptions for a total of 26 yards.
Harris and Hill, who will be classified as redshirt freshmen next season, both redshirted for the team last year, meaning they did not participate in competition in order to further develop their skills and to extend their eligibility.
During his senior year in high school, Harris, a defensive lineman from Milwaukee who attended Homestead High School, was the number two-ranked player in the state of Wisconsin.
Also from Milwaukee, Hill is a walk-on linebacker from Milwaukee Washington High School who was once named UW’s defensive scout team player of the week last season.
Regardless of the suspensions, Lucas said, the team will still begin spring practices come March 13 to prepare for the annual Red-White spring football game April 27.
Spokesperson for the Athletic Department Justin Doherty said it is not appropriate to speculate as to how a suspension or multiple suspensions may or may not affect a team.
“It’s really unfortunate when promising players put an athletic team’s future in jeopardy because there are so many fans who support UW teams and who want to see them succeed,” UW freshman Catherine Bresnahan said.
It is a sad occurance whenever this happens at UW. Although I look forward to seeing the Baders take the field at Camp Randall this fall. GO BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Badgers Shine at Camp Randall Classic


Wisconsin junior defenseman Brendan Smith entered Saturday’s Culver’s Camp Randall Hockey Classic leading the team with three game winning goals, but his fourth is going to be tough to top.
Smith converted on two power play goals in the final five minutes, including the winner with 1:22 left, to lead the Badgers past Michigan 3-2 in front of 55,031 people—the second highest game attendance in college hockey history.
Both of the goals came after Wisconsin made an adjustment on their power play set, allowing Smith to find some breathing room at the top of the slot and get in position to snap off two blistering one-timers that beat junior Wolverine goaltender Bryan Hogan.
“I have to give credit to the power play, Michael Davies threaded that pass through the lane so perfectly,” Smith said. “The first one was more of a ‘close your eyes and shoot.’ The second one I had a little bit of a lane and got a hold of it a little bit more.”
The Badgers jumped out to an early lead when sophomore forward Jordy Murray collected a bouncing puck right in front of the net and had plenty of space to finish at the 3:04 mark. Michigan tied the game with just over a minute to play in the first and seemed to carry momentum in to the second period as the teams tried to get used to the elements and the ice.
“I felt like a freshman again out there,” said senior center and captain Blake Geoffrion. “I had the butterflies going and everything.”
Neither team developed much rhythm in the second period, which featured a lot of back-and-forth possessions and neutral zone play. Freshman forward Kevin Lynch put Michigan ahead with just under nine minutes to play in the third period, and threatened to send the crowd home cold and disappointed.
However, with the help of some football tradition in the form of ‘Jump Around’ and the late-game heroics of Smith, a night that started at 21 degrees ended with a much warmer feeling for UW fans and players alike.
“We were cold, but I think the goose bumps were because of how loud it was,” said senior center and captain Ben Street.
The game also served as an energy boost and a bounce-back after last Saturday’s performance against Minnesota-Duluth. A week after taking 13 penalties against the Bulldogs, the Badgers committed just two and got great work on the penalty kill by tenacious senior forwards Aaron Bendickson and Andy Bohmbach. On the other side of the puck, the Badgers went 2-4 on the power play a week after finishing 0-5 on Saturday and 1-10 for the series.
Many of the players talked about how playing outside took them back to the old days of playing out on the neighborhood rinks. In front of a huge crowd that produced an absolutely electric atmosphere, the late-game heroics that always seem to work their way into childhood competition became a reality for Smith.
“When a young player is out on the backdoor rink, all they think about is winning the Stanley Cup.” Smith said. “This is pretty damn close.”
It was great to see the Badgers pull it out for such a special game. GO BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Camp Randall named best stadium in Big Ten


ESPN’s Big Ten blogger Adam Rittenberg ranked Camp Randall as the No. 1 stadium at which to go to a Big Ten game. “I’ve always had a thing for Camp Randall, ever since I covered my first game there in 2000,” Rittenberg wrote. “I’m a sucker for stadiums that are nestled into metropolitan areas, with limited parking sprawl and a real scene around the perimeter. From the frat parties on Breese Terrace to Regent Street nearby, the atmosphere is truly unique. Things really get rocking inside the facility, which blends traditional touches with modern amenities.” If you feel like checking out camp randall a great website for tickets is www.badgertickets.com

Remember the past.



In 2003, one of the greatest games in the history of Wisconsin football was played, and hardly anyone seems to remember it. The Badgers defeated the Ohio State Buckeyes 17-10 that wet and windy night in October, ending Ohio State’s 19-game winning streak, and most UW students don’t even know it happened.
It doesn’t seem like it has been that long, only five years since the Buckeyes came in ranked No. 3 in the nation as the defending national champs, and faced a Badger team ranked No. 23.
But in football years, especially student-athlete football years, five years is a long time. Players come and go a the blink of an eye, and the fans sitting in Camp Randall Stadium have to constantly learn new players.
So on the fifth-year anniversary of Wisconsin’s upset win over the Buckeyes, as Wisconsin looks toward this weekend’s Big Ten home opener against OSU, it seems fitting to look back at how it all happened. But be warned, this is not your typical Cinderella story. It was a game full of drama, scandal, sloppy conditions and bad weather.
The Badgers had started off the season 5-1 overall, with a 2-0 record in the Big Ten. Ohio State came in with a 5-0 record and appeared ready to continue its 19-game winning streak. But things didn’t seem to be heading OSU’s way as soon as the team got off the plane. I sure hope that the Badgers can pull another upset this weekend. It would make my day. GO BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!

Evridge Named Starting QB


As expected, Allan Evridge will be the University of Wisconsin football team's starting quarterback when the Badgers open the season Aug. 30 against Akron at Camp Randall Stadium.
Evridge, a fifth-year senior, beat out junior Dustin Sherer and sophomore Scott Tolzien for the starting spot.
``He's definitely got a lot of ability that he's able to use,'' UW coach Bret Bielema said Wednesday. ``And what he's been able to do during these first couple weeks of camp is just separate himself (by) being able to manage and handle the game.
``We want him to make good decisions. We don't need him to be an all-star. We just need to make the plays that are out there (and) make the right throws.''
A transfer from Kansas State, Evridge sat out the 2006 per NCAA transfer rules and spent last season as Tyler Donovan's backup. He appeared in seven games, completing 5-of-12 passes for 66 yards.
Evridge missed part of training camp with a hamstring injury and looked shaky during last Saturday's scrimmage. However, neither Sherer nor Tolzien did enough in camp to move past Evridge, who threw for 1,365 yards and six touchdowns -- both school records for freshman -- at Kansas State in 2005.
Sherer is listed as Evridge's backup.
``Obviously, we listed a two-deep, but really Dustin Sherer, Scott Tolzien and (freshman) James Stallons are kind of in a competition mode even as we speak,'' Bielema said.
``If we had to play a game (Thursday), Dustin would be the guy based on experience.''
Bielema also announced the team's four captains, all seniors: fullback Chris Pressley and right guard Kraig Urbik on offense, and tackle Mike Newkirk and linebacker DeAndre Levy on defense.
Elsewhere on the depth chart, junior Matt Fischer and freshman Philip Welch are listed as co-starters at kicker.
David Gilreath is listed as the starter at one wide receiver spot, while Maurice Moore and Kyle Jefferson are listed as co-starters on the other side.
Jaevery McFadden is listed at the starter at middle linebacker, ahead of Culmer St. Jean.
Freshman Mario Goins is listed as the starter at one cornerback position, while senior Allen Langford and sophomore Niles Brinkley are listed as co-starters at the other corner spot.
O'Brien Schofield is listed as the starter at defensive end opposite Matt Shaughnessy.

Badgers Zips Football Game


The Wisconsin Badgers open the 2008 Badgers Season with a home game against the Akron Zips football team on Saturday August 30th. Who are the Akron Zips that’s what I wanted to know. So after a little digging around on the Internet I found a cool Akron Zips Football Tickets web site that gives some University of Akron Ohio information including a Zips roster and a complete Akron Zips Schedule. The Zips play in the Mid-American Conference and should be an easy win for our Big Ten Badgers. I wonder if they will bring that cute kangaroo mascot of theirs so Bucky can eat him up and spit him out? See ya at Camp Randall, Badger fans! It will be fun to undo the Roo!
