Kritik und Lob » ow the Badgers were able to keep the axe

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Kyle Busch continued his dominance of the Xfinity Series at Kansas Speedway on Saturday.Elliott Sadler and Daniel Suarez continued their chase for a title.Pulling double-duty this weekend, Busch led 150 of the 200 laps in a thoroughly dominant performance for his ninth series win of the season. It was also his third straight Xfinity win at Kansas, where he won in his Sprint Cup car for the first time this spring.There were a lot of things trying to work against us toward the end, but we just persevered, said Busch, who at one point was a lap down. We had great speed. I think we showed it all weekend. It was just a matter of putting it all together and ending up in victory lane, where we deserved to be.Sadler finished second and Suarez finished third to give the Chase contenders a nice start to the three-race round of eight, which now takes a two-week break before continuing at Texas.Everyone is starting off square, Sadler said, so youre trying to get a point here and get a point there. Now everybody will have different strategies as we go to Texas and Phoenix.Two more Sprint Cup regulars, Joey Logano and Kyle Larson, waged an entertaining duel to round out the top five. But it was some drama around them in the closing laps that shook up the title chase.Justin Allgaier and Darrell Wallace Jr. were involved in a late wreck, though Allgaiers partially destroyed car was able to finish a lap down in 14th. Wallace wound up 33rd and now has a massive deficit to make up the next two races if he wants to avoid elimination.Pretty hard hit. Just unfortunate, said Wallace, who was blinking away some pain when he took off his helmet. We were making some good calls and running our own race and thats part of it.I think we could have gotten a top-10 if we hit our restarts right, but just not our day.Nor was it Brendan Gaughans day. He went slip-sliding through the grass on the front stretch late in the race and wound up 31st -- though he did provide some comic relief when he sprinted from the infield care center back to his car in an attempt to squeeze a few more laps in before the finish.It wound up having no bearing on his result.Erik Jones also had a gripe after spending most of the day near the front. He was hit from behind by Larson on a late restart, sending him into Ty Dillon and causing enough damage to force a costly pit stop.Jones ended finishing 15th, fifth among the eight drivers competing for a championship.Its all my fault, Larson told his spotter after the impact.Blake Koch finished ninth in a strong start to the round for his championship hopes, while Ryan Reed dealt with a series of problems all afternoon and finished behind Allgaier and Jones in 16th.Now, theyll all be chasing Sadler and Suarez over the next two races.We had a great race. So proud of my team, Sadler said. We kept working on the car, working on the car, getting better and better. I just have to do a better job of out-running that 18 car.Ryan Johansen Jersey . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

Craig Smith Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.MADISON, Wis. -- ?? At some point this week, Wisconsin linebacker Vince Biegel will stand up in front of his teammates and deliver a speech about what it means to beat Minnesota.There is so much more on the line this year than just Paul Bunyans Axe.Defeat the Gophers on Saturday in the annual rivalry game and the fifth-ranked Badgers can reap an even bigger reward.Whenever we play Minnesota, I feel like there (are) always implications on the line. There are a lot of story lines, obviously the axe, the border battle. I know we recruit the same type of players they recruit, Biegel, a senior, said Monday.Oh, one more prize too awaits Wisconsin (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten, No. 7 CFP) with a win.We want to represent the West (division) in the Big Ten championship game, Biegel said.Minnesota-Wisconsin has been a one-sided rivalry of late . Wisconsin has won 12 straight, the longest streak by either team in a series that dates to the 1890s.By kickoff on Saturday, the Badgers could even be in a position in which they have already clinched the West. Nebraska, which is tied with Wisconsin atop the West, would be eliminated with a loss at Iowa on Friday. If that happens, the Badgers would win the division even with a loss to Minnesota because they hold the tiebreaker by virtue of their 23-17 victory last month over the Cornhuskers.As has been the case all season though, the Badgers are showing no signs of overconfidence.Nobody wants the feeling of another team coming in here, taking that trophy from you, senior cornerback Sojourn Shelton said. I can only imagine how it would feel for Minnesota to do that.The Gophers (8-3, 5-3) are no pushovers. Two weeks ago, Minnesota played No. 17 Nebraska tough on the road before losing 24-17. Last week, Minnesota closed out its home schedule with an impressive 29-12 victory over Northwestern.ddddddddddddIts always special to play in this game, said coach Paul Chryst, a Madison native who attended Minnesota-Wisconsin games as a child and then later played for the Badgers. A lot of respect for Minnesota and the way theyre playing.As a way to remind players of the importance of retaining the axe, a Wisconsin strength coach has asked seniors to continue a tradition of giving speeches at some point this week about whats at stake. A few years ago, former Badger and current Houston Texans star J.J. Watt gave a pep talk that was shown on a big-screen television after a practice.Biegel declined to share with reporters what he would tell teammates, though the Wisconsin native offered clues. He recalls fondly how the Badgers were able to keep the axe the last time the rivalry game was played in Madison two years ago.I think the fans are invested in this as much as we are, Biegel said. Theyve got family in Minnesota. There are ties on both sides. Its a border battle. To be able to bring back the axe, protect Camp Randall ... its another special moment.Game notesNT Olive Sagapolu will miss a sixth straight game with a right arm injury. ... Wisconsin listed the following injured players as questionable: FB Austin Ramesh and OL Jacob Maxwell have right shoulder injuries, while backup LB Zack Baun has a left leg injury. ... The Badgers will honor its senior class on Saturday, with 13 players to be introduced before kickoff. They include Biegel, Shelton and 1,000-yard rusher Corey Clement.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
