Thomas Wolfe had it all wrong. You can go home again. I'm proving it by returning to the Capital Times, where my first tour of duty spanned 39 years (1971-2010)

Bryce West one of many tone-setters on suffocating UW defense...

USC's Jayden Maiava never looked comfortable due to constant pressure from UW defense that had all the answers. Makes you wonder what the Trojans did during bye week since they looked totally unprepared in every facet of the game. Maybe it was just a hungry team wanting it more.
With Will Ferrell in Madison to watch his alma mater get its butt kicked, in the words of Ron Burgundy, 'I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.' UW defense says to USC offense. Luke Fickell says to Lincoln Riley. Badgers say to all doubters in the Big Ten.

Deja-Brew. Led 2-0 after one in '82 WS opener. Led 2-0 after one in '26 opener. Won both. Routed Cards, 10-0, in StLouis. Molitor 5 hits, Yount 4, Caldwell complete game. Different game now. Outlasted Tampa Bay, 3-2. Photo finish. AmField rocked. And celebrated win twice. Whew.
Craig Coshun feeling same positive vibe that carried Harvey's Wallbangers..

Conventional wisdom dictates any winning formula should include two key components: Run the Ball. Stop the Run. The Badgers shutdown the Big Ten's top rushing attack. But they're not getting enough production from their tailbacks overburdening Colton Joseph to bail them out.
Running out of adjectives to describe no holds barred, take no prisoners, all gas all the time, downhill or bust inside linebackers Mason Posa and Cooper Catalano. If nothing else, these back-to-back primetime games introduces the nation to this high energy, incomparable duo.
Just watched retro intersectional game between Big Ten (Wisconsin) and Pac-12 (UCLA) on the West Coast with inept Pac-12 officials. More missed calls than tackles. Anger on both sidelines. Nearly unwatchable with all the flags. No rhythm, no flow, no fun, no excuses. Bruins won.
Pat Murphy kept his word: 'We weren't coming in to play patty cake.'

After the Brewers stole the soul of the Dodgers, who was hurting the most? Dave Roberts? Shohei Ohtani? Freddie Freeman? Mookie Betts? Tarik Skubal (who could have been a Brewer)? Or John Smoltz (who couldn't have been more bias)? Milwaukee can now scratch its 44-year itch.
