Some Badger Quick Hits

* UW Women's Hockey is the preseason No.1 in the USA Today/Coaches Poll

* Women's Hockey player Olivia Jackiel (your typical California women's hockey player) will be blogging throughout the season - check out the first installment here.

My favorite part: "we gathered in Coach Johnson’s living room and eagerly awaited putting our NCAA 2009 championship rings on our fingers. The freshmen watched in awe as we all opened our personalized ring boxes in unison. The next 10 seconds went something like this: gasp – silence- deep breath – SCREAM. Paul (Hickman) then kindly informed us that the rings we had just received were the biggest championship rings made for a collegiate team (by that ring company). We definitely took the phrase “go big or go home” to the next level."

*Once again, Bucky is up for the Capital One mascot challenge, but the standing currently have him in fourth place behind such behemoths as Western Kentucky, South Dakota State and Cincinnati. Not good. Vote, vote, vote for Bucky!
