The Cubs were watching the National League wild-card game in a relaxed setting. “It was no big deal,” Duensing said. “Next thing I know, everyone was raising their glass.” The Cubs toasted to their upcoming journey in the 2017 playoffs, but there’s little doubt nothing will top what they accomplished in 2016. No amount of pressure will compare to breaking the 108-year championship drought -- and that is something the Cubs are relying on this time around. Could there be any greater irony than if the team that couldn’t win one World Series in 108 years won two in two years? “That would be something,” lefty Mike Montgomery said. The Cubs looked like anything but defending champions in the first half of this season, but they had the best record in the National League in the second half. Now they enter their division series against the Washington Nationals with at least two other things going for them: They have experience and they are underdogs. “Experience equals knowing,” manager Joe Maddon said. “I think that’s important to understand. That’s what good experience really is. I want us to be eager as opposed to anxious. I think semantics matter.” The narrative for the Cubs heading into the postseason is pretty simple: Been there, done that. They don’t have home-field advantage against the other two division winners -- like they did last season, when they dominated the competition from start to finish -- but it’s not a big deal. Nothing is to this team. “We have history here with this group in October,” first baseman Anthony Rizzo said. “Good history. Good feelings. Good vibes. … We didn’t let it affect us, but when you look back on it, the pressure was through the roof [last season]. Break a curse the way we did, the series we did it in. I don’t see it being any easier, but I think we’re built for it.” All of this might be splitting hairs, but the Cubs find a distinction between pressure and attention. And they know that Cubs fans are everywhere. “There’s always focus and attention here, man,” Maddon said. “Just walking across the street from the parking lot indicated that. That hasn’t changed.” It’s that attention that has them focused on a second straight championship -- something 17 National League teams have failed to achieve since 1976. Game 2 starter Jon Lester has three rings but is nowhere near satisfied. And he’s making sure his teammates aren’t either. “If you lose that hunger to win it, you may as well go home,” Lester stated bluntly. “If you don’t think you should win, then you probably shouldn’t be here.” The Cubs grudgingly accept being underdogs against the Nationals, but they don’t really believe it. Or at the very least, they don’t believe it means anything -- at least not to them. If the pressure gets to the Nationals because they are the perceived favorite, then so be it. The Cubs will keep it loose knowing they have their championship. “I think winning last year helps,” Lester said. “We’re not anxious. We’ve won, so you have that in your back pocket, so you’re not putting as much pressure on yourself to go out and perform.” Of course, that doesn’t mean the Cubs can just roll out of bed and repeat as champions.

    IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE BULL-ED STATEMENT Iowa rallied, but Wisconsin found a way to grind out a 26-24 win over the Hawkeyes last Saturday in Iowa City and announce that the road to the Big Ten West Division title would run through Madison a week later. Marcus Trotter (59), Konrad Zagzebski (91), Peniel Jean (21), Derek Landisch (30) and the Badgers walked out of Kinnick Stadium with the Heartland Trophy for the third-consecutive time. PHOTO BY DAVID STLUKA IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF There was nowhere to throw, but seniors Rob Havenstein (left) and Kyle Costigan made sure there was room to run for Joel Stave, who tucked the ball and covered 12 yards to convert a critical third down that allowed the Badgers to run out the clock on a 26-24 win over Iowa last Saturday. PHOTO BY DAVID STLUKA IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE LIKE IT’S 1999 Wisconsin’s Sara Disanza turned plenty of heads ― including nearly the entire feld as she passed everyone but champion Kate Avery of Iona ― with her runner-up fnish at the 2014 NCAA Championship last Saturday in Terre Haute, Indiana. The sophomore’s showing was the best for a member of the Badgers’ women’s team since 1999. PHOTO BY WALT MIDDLETON IN [FOCUS] TAP PHOTO TO ENLARGE FOLLOW-THROUGH FRANK Frank Kaminsky reminded folks at home to always follow through, as he stroked in a season-high 26 points on 11-of-13 shooting ― including 4-for-5 from 3-point range ― in Wisconsin’s win over Boise State last Saturday at the Kohl Center.

Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.

The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope. The following chart indicates, by year (in left column), which national media and organizations selected All-America teams.
