Brewers trade All-Star closer to New York

Dec 13, 2024 | madison.com | Aaron Ferguson

It's been an offseason to forget for Brewers fans so far, and it just got worse as the club traded an elite relief pitcher. Devin Williams is headed to the New York Yankees in a trade, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported late Friday morning. Williams, 30, spent all six seasons with Milwaukee and was an All-Star selection in 2022 and 2023, his first season as the full-time closer. He debuted in 2019 and ranks among the best who have thrown at least 200 innings since then.
Fans pick apart Wisconsin men's basketball flaws after loss to I-94 rival Marquette

Summary of this season? Open invitation to points Certainly doesn't help Certainly was entertaining Suppose that's a positive? A good thought moving forward An apparent non-factor? A hard ceiling, but how low is it? They miss Chucky, dare I say? Ball pressure brings Badgers problems Correct That, in fact, was the ballgame A little? Outspending a factor we'll never know for certain What's Marquette's ceiling? Final Four? More?

Offense - love it. Defense - I’ll let you know once I see it. — Chris Davis (@cdavis20000) December 7, 2024 We've struggled defensively the past couple seasons. We're giving up too many easy buckets in the paint lately. Crowl has also regressed significantly. — Ryan Pohle (@RyanPohle) December 7, 2024 Too many turnovers. — TamiraMadsen (@tamiramadsen) December 7, 2024 Two good programs battled. Fun when both teams have talent, despite the outcome.

Millions of reasons it may not happen Great analysis Gotta go backwards to go forward?
Fans question coach Luke Fickell and a free falling Wisconsin football program

Nov 29, 2024 | madison.com | Aaron Ferguson

Thus ends an incredibly disappointing season that broke the bowl streak and consecutive winning seasons streak. Empty trophy case. Every goal missed. Sadness abounds. All I want for Christmas is a new head coach, a new head coach, a new head coach…— Chris Davis (@cdavis20000) November 29, 2024 If not for a silly buyout, McIntosh would have a hard time justifying Fickell continuing. After 2 years, we see a consistently unprepared team, 5 straight losses, an empty stadium, bowl ineligiblity....
How to watch, stream, listen to Wisconsin football's rivalry game vs. Minnesota

Nov 28, 2024 | badgerextra.com | Aaron Ferguson

Might Minnesota reclaim Paul Bunyan's Axe from the University of Wisconsin football team, and will fans pack the frozen stands or the players stay warm on heated turf? There are plenty of questions to be answered at 11 a.m. Friday as the Badgers (5-6, 3-5 Big Ten) look to snap a four-game losing streak as they host the Golden Gophers.

Players, staff, and head coach all failed to step up.
How to watch Wisconsin football at Nebraska: Storylines, prediction, more

Nov 23, 2024 | madison.com | Aaron Ferguson

One team has to finally reach bowl eligibility when the University of Wisconsin football team travels to play Nebraska at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. The Badgers (5-5, 3-4 Big Ten) look to continue their 10-game winning streak over the Cornhuskers (5-5, 2-5). Wisconsin has lost three straight games, granted it had second-half leads against Penn State and No. 1 Oregon. Nebraska has lost four straight games. And both teams have made changes at offensive coordinator.
'Will Oregon sweat' at Wisconsin? ESPN 'College GameDay' poses question

Nov 16, 2024 | madison.com | Aaron Ferguson

The University of Wisconsin football team has an opportunity at its first signature win under Luke Fickell, daunting a task as it may be. The Badgers (5-4, 3-3 Big Ten) can deny, at least for a few weeks, No. 1 Oregon from clinching its Big Ten championship game berth by beating the Ducks. But the men's basketball team a few short hours ago proved daunting can be irrelevant as it shocked a physical Arizona team which was ranked ninth. It would be quite the weekend if both teams pulled off upsets.

It's been two weeks since a University of Wisconsin football team was noncompetitive in its worst loss to rival Iowa since 1968, and one fans said players quit during. Awaiting the Badgers (5-4, 3-3 Big Ten) is No. 1 Oregon, which can clinch a Big Ten championship game berth with a win, and a fan base which may have already turned the page to basketball season. The weekend tipped off with a men's basketball upset of No. 9 Arizona, sending a .
