The Wisconsin men's basketball team plays its first regular season game against IPFW, and the men's hockey team plays two at the Kohl Center for the third consecutive weekend.  Did we miss anything?  Oh, yeah.  The football team adds another chapter to its always entertaining series with Michigan.  The home team has won the last five in that rivalry, and it's Parents' Weekend at UW.
