Connor Krznarich has been fielding college interest since he was an underclassman. He has excelled in both football and track for his entire high school career. He is now beginning to reap the benefits of the years of hard work he put into them.

The 2022-23 NHL season is now fully underway, and there are over a dozen former Badgers who are on NHL rosters. Some of these former Badgers have been crowned champions, some are all-stars, and some are just rookies. However, one thing they share is that they all hail from one of the most decorated hockey schools in America. The Wisconsin Badgers have won six national championships throughout the history of their hockey program. Their six championships are the fourth most of any NCAA program. This storied hockey program has had its fair share of NHL-caliber athletes, but the current generation…

The NFL will no longer have a Pro Bowl game. News broke this morning from the NFL that the league’s version of an All-Star game would be no more. Instead, the league is moving towards a week-long event that includes skills competitions and a flag football game. Pro Bowl History The traditional NFL Pro Bowl has been around since 1951. For the majority of its history, the Pro Bowl was a glorified scrimmage between the most talented players from each conference. The purpose of the Pro Bowl was to show off the abilities of the best football players on the…

West Allis, Wisconsin is a city just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and is home to around 60,000 people. For decades, there has been a storied rivalry between the two West Allis high schools, West Allis Central and West Allis Nathan Hale. For over 70 years straight, the two schools had an annual matchup which brought the community together for an eventful Friday night. However, in 2016, one of the oldest rivalries in Wisconsin high school football came to an end as West Allis Central announced they’d be leaving Hale’s conference. This marked the end of an era as their 76-year…

Coming into the 2022 College Football season, the Wisconsin Badgers have clearly defined Graham Mertz as their QB1. Mertz is clearly the most experienced and arguably the most talented Quarterback in the locker room, so the job is rightfully his. However, injuries often happen in sports, so a reliable back-up is always necessary. In previous seasons, Chase Wolf had assumed the duties of QB2 behind Mertz. Unfortunately, Wolf tore his meniscus at practice earlier this week and will now miss the entire season. This leaves a question mark in regards to who will be backing up Graham Mertz this season.…

The 2022 MLB trade deadline is quickly approaching. Many Brewers fans are hoping David Stearns is able to make a move to improve the team before the 5 pm CT deadline on August 2nd. It is unlikely the Brewers will be able to secure any of the big-name players on the trade block. However, it is possible that the Brewers could snag a relatively cheap and reliable player to bolster their squad. This trade deadline philosophy is one that the Brewers have practiced a lot during Stearns’ tenure as GM and President of Baseball Operations. Stearns understands that small moves…

On March 6th, 2020, Christian Yelich signed a nine-year, $215 million dollar contract. The deal was a seven-year extension to the two years remaining on his existing deal. At the time, Yelich was coming off of back-to-back MVP-level seasons and was quickly becoming the new face of the franchise. The contract seemed like a win-win since it made sure Yelich would be a Brewer for the prime of his career at a price relatively team-friendly for his MVP-level production. Fast-forward a little over two years later, Christian Yelich is now seen as only a shadow of his former self.…

Former Wisconsin Badger and current Arizona Cardinal JJ Watt is arguably the kindest man in the NFL. For much of the last decade, he has used his platform to build up communities and help individuals when they need it most. Last night on Twitter, Watt showed his kindness once again. On Wednesday evening, a fan posted on Twitter that she was selling her JJ Watt shoes and jersey to help pay for her grandfather’s funeral costs. She tagged JJ Watt in her post so Twitter’s algorithm would project her tweet to more Watt fans. She would have never thought JJ…
