PrintEditor's Note: I've re-posted our Welcome Message as Fan Post and will do so from time-to-time just so new members can get a sense of what we are all about.
On behalf of our four contributors, I would like to welcome you to Bucky's 5th Quarter, a new Wisconsin Badgers blog on SBNation. After some time at Blogger, we are excited to join this impressive blogging community.
At some point all of our contributors have covered Wisconsin athletics for various media outlets, but we are also graduates of the University of Wisconsin and are proud to call ourselves Badgers. We hope to share our Badger knowledge and opinions, but most importantly, we want to hear your thoughts on all things Bucky. Please feel free to leave comments on any of our posts or send comments/questions to aahoge@gmail.com
What to expect:
- OPEN GAME THREADS - Are you a fan of live blogs? Well we do them for every football and men's basketball game and EVERYONE can participate. The threads update automatically and you can post quotes, pictures, video and much more while voicing your opinions on the game.
- Daily news, notes and predictions from across the Internet pertaining to the Badgers or the Big Ten
- Weekly opinion posts from each of our contributors
- Basketball previews and predictions, including thoughts from an opposing Blogger
- HOCKEY, HOCKEY, HOCKEY. We got a hockey guy. He's at all of the games and will bring you the best UW hockey coverage every weekend
You might be wondering to yourself, "How can you have five quarters?" Most of you know what the 5th Quarter is, but if you don't, here's more.
How can you contribute to Bucky's 5th Quarter?
The great thing about SBNation is that this isn't just a blog, it's a fan community. On the right sidebar you will find FanPosts and FanShots. This is your opportunity to contribute to the blog. If you would like to write a full post, then use the FanPosts. If you come across a great link, picture or breaking news, use the FanShots. Also, USE THE RECOMMEND feature. Like a FanPost or FanShot? Recommend it. If a FanPost or FanShot gets five recommendations then it will automatically get bumped to the front page of Bucky's 5th Quarter.
Need help? Check out this GREAT post from South Side Sox about how to use FanShots, FanPosts and Tagging, essentially making the entire community better.
We encourage you to play around with the FanShots. You can add pictures, video, quotes and a lot more.
To get started, you need an SBNation screename. Just click on the "Join Bucky's 5th Quarter" link right underneath our logo. If you already have a screename then you will instantly be added to the community. If you need to sign up, you will be prompted to do so.
Welcome to Bucky's 5th Quarter! We look forward to hearing your opinions.
FanPosts are user-created posts from the Bucky's 5th Quarter community, and reflect the opinions and views of that particular user, not that of the staff of Bucky's 5th Quarter or the blog community as a whole.

good to get a badgers SBNation site
I remember you from your writing days for the Cardinal. In my opinion the last couple of years the writing at the two student papers has gone downhill. Just wanted to comment here to thank you for starting this up.
Im going to keep some tabs on the badgers
Im a FSU fan first, but I want you guys to know that I have been keeping tabs on the Badgers for about 2 years now. I was deployed to Iraq from 2006-2007 and my room mate and best friend is from Oshkosh, WI. hes a die hard Badger and Packers fan. He got me to watch some of the Wis games and I have to say I was impressed for the most part. I love how your team uses the TE. I will try to get him to join your sire I think he would love it. I will almost always pull for Wis other then when you play FSU. All I ask is to get them Badgers to beat OSU and Michigan in every sport and thin some. Hope to see good things from you guys in the future.
Why is the sky blue? Because, God Loves the Infantry
