Badgers chapter 10

“BACK INTO VOLLEYBALL” THE FALL SEASON ARRIVED WITH MUCH ACCLAIM. THE BADGERS WITH A GREAT MIX OF UPPERCLASSMEN AND FROSH HAVE BEEN HIGHLY RATED. THEY HAVE RUN THROUGH THE NON CONFERENCE PRESEASON UNDEFEATED AND HIGHLY RANKED. SUBSTANTIAL RESPECT AND ACCLAIM HAS BEEN PAID THIS YEAR TO STEVE LOWE, WHO DIED AT AGE 35. LOWE HAD TURNED THE BADGER WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL TEAM INTO WINNERS AFTER BEING PERENNIAL LOSERS. MANDY, THE SENIOR DG, HAS GIVEN UP ON GUYS AND HER ROOMMATE JAN, (PANHELLENIC COUNCIL PRESIDENT) HAS GIVEN UP ON ALEX, A BADGER GRAD FROM THE SPRING. ALEX WAS DENIED ENTRANCE INTO MARQUETTE DENTAL SCHOOL. HE ALSO WAS WAIVED BY THE COWBOYS AFTER TRAINING AND TRYING OUT AS A BACKUP QB ALL SPRING AND SUMMER. CAROLYN AS A JUNIOR VOLLEYBALLER SPORTS AN ENGAGEMENT RING FROM THE BIG 10 CONFERENCE’S CHAMPION IN TENNIS, SAM WELLMAN. THOUGH CAROLYN IS FROM KENOSHA, SAM’S UPPER CRUST CHICAGO PARENTS HAVE GIVEN CAROLYN AND HER FAMILY A VIABLE PASS TO THE WEDDING THIS SUMMER. THE KK HAS REESTABLISHED ITSELF AS THE VIABLE HANGOUT FOR GUYS AND COEDS ALIKE. HANG ONTO YOUR SEATS AS EVENTS BEGIN TO UNFOLD THIS COMING YEAR FOR THE “BADGERS.” MANDY I CANNOT TAKE THIS ANYMORE JAN. I’M SO UTTERLY DEPRESSED. I MEAN WITH MAX’S DEATH, MY FAILED ROMANCE WITH SAM WELLMAN, AND NOTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO AT ALL. NO GUY PROSPECTS, GOOD COACHING JOBS AT A PREMIUM, AND I’M NOW BARELY STARTING BEING THAT EVERYONE’S FAVORITE, CAROLYN, HAS TAKEN OVER LEAD SETTER ON THE VOLLEYBALL TEAM. SHE HAS GONE BY ME IN KILLS, SETS, ASSISTS, SERVES, SERVE RECEPTIONS, DIGS AND BLOCKS. JAN THOUGH CAROLYN IS NOW AN UPPERCLASSMAN, SHE IS STILL A BALL HOG. ALL THE PLAYS AND TEAM REVOLVE AROUND HER. WHY DID THEY NAME HER CAPTAIN? I DON’T GET IT. YOUR SERVING RATE IS STILL HIGHER AND YOUR ERROR RATE IS FAR LOWER. MANDY CAROLYN GETS WHAT EVER SHE WANTS. I GUESS GROWING UP NEXT TO LAKE MICHIGAN MAKES ONE SO AWFULLY COLD TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. I’M CERTAIN THAT THOUGH 2

SHE IS CUTE, SAM WILL BE SO DISAPPOINTED WITH HIS MARRIAGE AFTER LIVING WITH SUCH A WEASEL WITCH FOR A FEW MONTHS. JAN WELL THE DG’S BEAT HER OUT FOR PANHELLENIC COUNCIL PRESIDENT. IT IS AS IF SHE WANTED TO BE EVERYTHING ON CAMPUS - FROM PROM QUEEN TO CHANCELLOR. MANDY SHE WILL BE IN FOR A RUDE AWAKENING DEALING WITH SAM’S CHICAGO FAMILY AND THE INTERCONNECTIONS. SOMEONE FROM KENOSHA CANNOT HANDLE THAT - THIS IS KNOW FOR SURE. JAN SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE A BIT JEALOUS OF CAROLYN? MANDY HMMM....LET’S SEE: I’M NO LONGER CAPTAIN OF THE VOLLEYBALL TEAM, AND SHE IS NOW CAPTAIN. SHE STOLE MY BOYFRIEND RIGHT UNDER MY CONTROL; AND SHE RECEIVED A BUMP UP INTO MY STARTING POSITION WHILE I ATTENDED TO MAX’S ILLNESS AND FUNERAL - YOU DON’T DO THOSE THINGS TO A FELLOW TEAMMATE. I’M SORRY BUT YOU JUST DON’T. JAN YES CAROLYN IS PRETTY SLIPPERY. I WOULDN’T BE HER FRIEND - BUT OF COURSE SHE IS A KAPPA - AND MOST COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THAT GANG OVER THERE. THOSE GALS STEAL FRAT BOYFRIENDS AS IF IT IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR. THEY DON’T KNOW THE GREEK CODES AND WHEN TO LAY OFF OTHER GIRLS’ GUYS. WE SHOULD PROBABLY FIGHT BACK. MANDY ARE YOU GOING DOWN TO THE KK AFTER THE FOOTBALL GAME? JAN NO, I DON’T THINK SO. ALEX WILL PROBABLY BE THERE - MR. GRAD STUDENT IN BIOLOGY - TRYING TO GET INTO DENTAL SCHOOL THROUGH THE BACK GRAD DOOR. MANDY I HOPE HE MAKES IT. HE IS STILL A GOOD GUY. I’M SORRY YOU TWO BROKE UP. JAN IT IS FOR THE BETTER. HE IS SO LOST. HE DIDN’T REALLY WANT THE BIOLOGY GRAD SCHOOL DEAL, JUST WANTED TO 3

BE A DENTIST - COMPLAINED THAT IF DIVERSITY HADN’T SET IN, HE WOULD BE A FRESHMAN DENTAL STUDENT TODAY AT MARQUETTE. MANDY AND YOU’RE GOING TO DALLAS BY NURSING CONTRACT? JAN YES, THE ICU AT PARKLAND HAS PAID FOR MY TUITION YEAR FOR YEAR UNDER THIS SPECIAL PROGRAM. I CAN BUY MY WAY OUT, BUT I MADE A COMMITMENT AND WANT TO KEEP IT. MANDY WHEN DO YOU START? JAN THE DAY AFTER TEXAS NURSING BOARDS. I REALLY CANNOT WAIT. I’M SORRY I WOULD HAVE DIED FOR ALEX, BUT WHO WANTS A GUY WHO IS GOING NOWHERE AND DOESN’T WANT TO MAKE A COMMITMENT. IT’S FOR THE BETTER I THINK. MANDY WHAT IF ALEX SAW YOU AT THE KK, AND WALKED UP AND PROPOSED? WHAT WOULD YOU DO - I MEAN HE’S A NICE GUY, HANDSOME AS CAN BE, AND COULD PROBABLY PLAY CANADIAN FOOTBALL IF PUSHED. JAN LIKE I WANT TO BE A WIFE OF A BACKUP CANADIAN FOOTBALL QB. NO THANKS. I WANT TO BE A NURSE. THAT IS WHAT I’M TRAINED TO BE. I DON’T HAVE THAT URGE TO PROCREATE YET; OR EVEN BE A WIFE. LIKE YOU I’VE GIVEN UP TO THESE WIMPY BADGER GUYS. MOST OF THESE GUYS ARE CREEPS - ESPECIALLY ALL THE STUPID JERSEY AND GREEK CHASING WE’VE DONE THE PAST THREE YEARS. AMAZING. MANDY LOOK AT US. THE PANHELLENIC DANCE IS NEXT WEEK, MANY COUPLES ARE HEADING OUT TO LOOKOUT POINT ON LAKE MENDOTA TO WARM UP; AND THERE ARE PROPOSALS WEEKLY AT THE DG HOUSE. AND HERE WE SIT. WHAT HAPPENED? JAN WE ARE OUT OF THE LOOP. THINGS HAPPENED WHICH ARE OUT OF CONTROL. MAX DIED, ALEX WAS CUT BY THE COWBOYS DESPITE THE SI ARTICLE, AND CAROLYN CHOSE THE UW. WHAT CAN WE DO?

MANDY OH HERE COMES THE FOOTBALL CROWD HEADING TO THE KK, AND THEN THE PHI PSI PARTY TONIGHT. I GUESS WE’RE INVITED WHETHER WE HAVE A DATE OR NOT. BOY DON’T WE LOOK STUPID. SENIORS, GOOD LOOKING, ATHLETIC, AND LONELY. BEER WILL TASTE GOOD TONIGHT. IT IS THAT SIMPLE. AS A VOLLEYBALLER I DIDN’T SAY THAT. JAN MAYBE WE SHOULD HEAD OVER TO THE UNION. ESPN WILL BE THERE - MAYBE WE CAN GET A VOLLEYBALL INTERVIEW SINCE ONE OF THE POLLS HAS THE BADGERS AS #1. MANDY THESE ARE FOOTBALL GUYS. NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL. WE ARE JUST A PC TEAM THAT THE STATE JOURNAL AND DAILY CARDINAL HAVE LATCHED ONTO. DO YOU REALLY THINK THE FANS CARE? IT’S AS IF FANS JUST WANT TO SAY THEY WENT TO THE GAME, NOT THAT THEY REALLY CARE AND SUPPORT THIS TEAM. JAN THE CURE IS AN OCTOBERFEST LEINE’S AT THE UW UNION, THEN THE KK, THEN THE DANCE AT THE PHI PSI HOUSE. SO WHAT IF WE GO SINGLE. WE’RE TOO GOOD FOR THE GREEKS! MANDY IT’S A WINNER. JAN I CANNOT BELIEVE WE FOUND A CLOSE SPOT IN THE UNION NEXT TO SPORTS CENTER. MAYBE WE’LL GET AN INTERVIEW WITH ONE OF THE BIG SHOTS. MANDY THAT WOULD BE NICE. MAYBE GAMEDAY WOULD UNDERSTAND THE PLIGHT OF A WOMAN ATHLETE WHO HAS A LONELY EXISTENCE, STOLEN BOYFRIEND, AND THE PRESSURES OF PLAYING WITH A TEAM MATE WHO NOT ONLY STOLE YOUR BOYFRIEND, BUT IS NOW MARRYING HIM. JAN THAT WOULD BE COOL. BUT DON’T LET ANYONE SEE YOU SIP ANY BEER. REMEMBER THE UW ATHLETIC CODE. YOU’LL GET KILLED BY YOUR COACHES. MANDY WOW, THIS LEINE’S IS VERY GOOD. I’M JUST HAVING A COUPLE SIPS. OH MY GOD THERE IS SPORTS CENTER AND GAME DAY - ESPN. HERE THEY ARE COMING AT US.

JAN DO YOU BELIEVE THIS? THE TV CAMERA’S ARE ON US, NOT THE FOOTBALL FANS. THEY RECOGNIZE YOU MANDY AS A WOMEN BADGER VOLLEYBALLER. HEY THIS IS COOL. MANDY YES WE ARE FOOTBALL FANS AND WELL JAN IS A NURSING STUDENT GOING TO DALLAS NEXT YEAR, AND I’M GOING..... JAN SAY SOMETHING JUICY.........OLYMPIC TRYOUTS IN COLORADO SPRINGS - SOMETHING LIKE THAT. MANDY I’M HEADED OFF TO COACH A HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL TEAM AND THEN MAYBE TRYOUT FOR THE OLYMPIC TEAM. WHO KNOWS? JAN YES MANDY WAS THE CAPTAIN LAST YEAR, BUT THIS YEAR SHE LOST HER CAPTAIN POSITION ON OUR UNDEFEATED TEAM TO A JUNIOR, CAROLYN. MANDY YES THE BADGERS ARE SUCCESSFUL DUE TO THE LEGACY OF LOWE. HE ESSENTIALLY FOUNDED THE MODERN ERA OF WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL AT WISCONSIN - COMING OVER AS AN ASSISTANT AT PACIFIC. I WAS BARELY BORN WHEN HE ARRIVED. GREAT GUY. IT IS VERY SAD HE DIED. JAN SO GAME DAY WANTS TO DIG INTO BADGER VOLLEYBALL DURING THE COMMERCIAL. I JUST HAVE FAN KNOWLEDGE, AND WHAT AS MANDY’S ROOMMATE THE UNDERTONE OF A CLIMBING TEAM. MANDY I’LL INTERRUPT. OUR PRESENT SENIOR CLASS IS ALL ABOUT TEAM AND WE LEAD THE COUNTRY IN SETS, KILLS, DIGS, AND BLOCKS. WE USE THE ENTIRE TEAM, AND WE ARE A CLOSE KNIT GROUP. JAN YES THIS TEAM ESSENTIALLY LIVES TOGETHER THROUGH THICK AND THIN. MY NURSING CAREER WON’T BE THE SAME WITHOUT UW ATHLETICS - ESPECIALLY THE WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL TEAM. MANY NIGHTS AT THE FIELD HOUSE HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST. MANDY THE UNION IS A HANGOUT - MOSTLY FOR SMARTER GUYS AND COEDS. THE GREEKS HANGOUT AT THE KK. BEER 6

IS CHEAPER, DATES COME EASIER, AND THERE IS A BIT OF JERSEY CHASING THERE. JAN WHAT JAN MEANT TO SAY WAS THAT THE SOCIAL LIFE OF A GREEK ON LANDGON STREET IS ESSENTIALLY THE KK. SHE AND I ARE A BIT UPSET THAT WE DON’T HAVE DATES YET FOR THE PANHELLENIC DANCE NEXT WEEK - AND I’M THE PANHELLENIC COUNCIL PRESIDENT. MANDY WHAT WE ARE SAYING TO THE WORLD IS THAT THE UW GUYS ARE SLOW AND NEED PUSHING. JAN NO I DON’T THINK MANDY WILL HANG AROUND THE UW TO COACH AS A GRADUATE ASSISTANT NEXT YEAR. SHE’S THINKING ABOUT COACHING A HIGH PROFILE HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL TEAM. AND OF COURSE TRYING OUT FOR THE OLYMPIC TEAM IN COLORADO. MANDY I WOULD PROBABLY STAY AND COACH HERE AT THE UW, HOWEVER WHEN YOUR HIGH SCHOOL BOYFRIEND DIES AND A FRESHMAN TEAM MATE FLAT OUT STEALS YOUR BOYFRIEND WHILE YOU ARE GONE, AND THEN ACTUALLY GETS ENGAGED - THAT SAYS SOMETHING. THAT IS THE PRESSURE I HAVE TO LIVE WITH. YES, AND THAT SAME PERSON DID ALL THE ABOVE, AND STOLE MY CAPTAIN’S POSITION. JAN GAMEDAY - MANDY REALLY DIDN’T MEAN WHAT SHE SAID. MANDY THE HECK I DIDN’T AND MORE. EVEN IF THE BADGERS ARE UNDEFEATED, WE STILL FIGHT THROUGH THIS TEAM MATE STUFF, AND COME TOGETHER FOR GAMES. JAN THANKS FOR COMING AND THE INTERVIEW. MANDY, I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU SAID ALL THAT. DO YOU KNOW THAT EVERYONE IS WATCHING THIS PROGRAM ALL OVER THE WORLD - INCLUDING HERE AT THE UW. THE FALL OUT WILL NEVER END. MANDY I’M TIRED OF DEALING WITH FAKE PEOPLE. I KNOW I’M NOT EVEN DRUNK. I JUST TELL IT LIKE IT IS.

JAN THE UNIVERSITY WILL KILL US. YOUR PARENTS WILL KILL YOU! I’LL MAY HAVE TO RELINQUISH MY PRESIDENCY OF THE PANHELLENIC COUNCIL, AND YOU’LL BE LUCKY TO STAY ON THE VOLLEYBALL TEAM. MANDY MAYBE THEY WON’T AIR THIS. JAN ARE YOU CRAZY? IT IS LIVE AND IT’S BEEN AIRED. YOU ARE NOW A FAMOUS PERSON IN SOME CIRCLES. YOUR MEDIA CAREER HAS BEGUN. MANDY OH MY GOD. ALL THESE STUDENTS ARE COMING UP TO US GIVING US HIGH FIVES, AND NOW THERE ARE MORE CAMERAS AROUND US. I STILL DON’T CARE. WHEN YOU ARE AS DEPRESSED AS WE TWO DG’S ARE, THEN YOU LET IT OUT. SORRY. JAN MY CELL PHONE IS GOING OFF. IT’S ALEX. NOW HE’S TEXTING SAYING THAT THE ENTIRE KK AND EVERYONE ELSE SAW THE INTERVIEW. MANDY WELL MAYBE THE GUYS AROUND LANDGON WILL WAKE UP. WE AREN’T JUST GOING TO COLLEGE FOR CLASSES AND VOLLEYBALL. REMEMBER WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE FOR NETWORKING AND SOCIALIZATION, NOT RELENTLESS DEPRESSION. JAN THEY WANT US TO COME OVER TO THE KK AS CELEBRITIES. MANDY NOW I’M GETTING A CALL FROM COACH WHO SAYS TO KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT. TEAM UNITY IS AT STAKE. SHE SAYS SHE UNDERSTANDS THE EMOTIONS OF A GIRL’S VOLLEYBALL TEAM, BUT WE’VE TAKEN IT TOO FAR - AND MY ISSUES WITH CAROLYN SHOULD REMAIN INTERNAL. JAN OK WE’LL HEAD OVER TO THE KK. THERE IS NOW A STANDING ROOM ONLY CROWD COMING INTO THE UNION WANTING TO SEE US. WE ARE GETTING PLENTY OF ATTENTION. MANDY YES THANK GOD WE WON THE FOOTBALL GAME. SORRY I HAVE TO DATE A GREEK. AND I KNOW A GREEK WHEN I SEE 8

ONE. YOU DON’T ACT OR LOOK LIKE A GREEK - I’VE NEVER SEEN YOU AT ANY OF THE SOCIAL OR COMMUNITY SERVICE FUNCTIONS. I’M SORRY SIR, DON’T TALK TO ME. JAN OH MY GOD, HAVE YOU SEEN THE DG HOUSE - THERE ARE CNN REPORTERS OUTSIDE THERE ALSO. MUST BE NO NEWS TODAY. MANDY WE’LL JUST HEAD INTO THE KK. THERE IS ALEX LAUGHING AT US. I COULD KILL HIM ALSO. JAN DON’T SAY ANYTHING ALEX. YOU ARE A UW WEASEL, AN ALMOST DENTIST, QB, AND PERSON. I REALLY DON’T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU ANY FURTHER. WE ARE A HISTORICAL LEGEND. MANDY YES, I CAN SAY THAT ALSO. ALEX, GO AWAY YOU ARE HISTORY. ALEX LET ME EXPLAIN. I THOUGHT THE INTERVIEW WITH GAMEDAY WAS GREAT. YOU TOLD IT LIKE IT WAS. WE ALL ENJOYED THE HECK OUT OF IT. I DON’T THINK YOU ARE IN TROUBLE - EXCEPTING TO DEAL WITH CAROLYN - WHO AS A KAPPA IS IN THE BACK OF THIS PRESENT ESTABLISHMENT SCARFING DOWN BRATS. JAN CAROLYN IS A YOU KNOW WHAT. I DON’T CARE FOR HER EITHER. WHAT SHE DID TO MANDY WAS BEYOND ANYONE’S MORALS. NOT EVEN CLOSE. SHE IS A PUNK KAPPA. MANDY I FULLY WHOLE HEARTEDLY AGREE. NO ONE CAN STOOP THAT LOW. ALEX IT IS OBVIOUS THAT YOU TWO AS ALL WOMEN TAKE NO PRISONERS. IT’S THAT SIMPLE. DEATH OR NOTHING. JAN AND FOR YOU ALEX I HAVE NO WORDS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE HANGING OUT AT A GREEK PLACE WHEN YOU ARE NOT EVEN A GREEK OR FOR THAT MATTER AN UNDERGRAD. YOU SHOULD BE HANGING OUT AT A BIO LAB. YOUR STUDENT CAREER AS AN UNDERGRAD IS FLAT OUT DONE. DONE! YOU FLUNKED LIFE.

ALEX JAN, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND. I HAVE NO MEANS. I’M NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE THE NFL OR DENTAL SCHOOL DESPITE WHAT SI SAYS. MANDY TELL ME WHY YOU DIDN’T PLAY SEMI-PRO OR CANADIAN BALL. LOOK AT CURT WARNER. THERE IS A GUY WHO MARRIES AND ADOPTS ANOTHER’S KIDS, PLAYS NFL EUROPE, AND IS TRUE TO HIS CONVICTIONS. HE WORKED HIMSELF UP STOCKING GROCERIES IN IOWA. I DON’T SEE THAT FIGHT IN YOU ALEX. YOU DIDN’T FIGHT FOR JAN, THE NFL, DENTAL SCHOOL, OR ANYTHING ELSE IN YOUR LIFE. WHERE ARE YOU GOING? JAN AND DO YOU KNOW HOW STUPID YOU LOOK HERE AT THE KK AS A GRAD STUDENT? GIVE ME A BREAK. AT LEAST GO TO THE GRIDIRON ON REGENT STREET. THE KK IS WHERE GUYS GO TO CHECK OUT FRESHMAN CHICKS. ALEX I DON’T HAVE MUCH TO SAY EXCEPT I DID SEE YOUR GAME DAY INTERVIEW. YOU DGS ARE NOW FAMOUS. I HOPE CAROLYN DOESN’T EAT YOU ALIVE AS SHE SAT THERE WITH SAM AND WATCHED IT LIVE LIKE WE ALL DID. CAROLYN YES MANDY, I SAW YOUR COMMENTS ON GAME DAY. MY ETHICS DON’T ALLOW ME TO STOOP THIS LOW AND DISPARAGE A FELLOW TEAM MATE. WE ARE NO LONGER FRIENDS OFF THE COURT, AND YOU WON’T GET AN INVITE TO THE WEDDING NEXT JUNE. MANDY SOUNDS GOOD. AS IF I’D GO. I’LL BE OFF PROBABLY AT THE UP DOING VOLLEYBALL CAMPS. YOU’LL BE SOCIALIZING UP THE GOLD COAST IN CHICAGO - PLANNING YOUR TRIPS DOWN MICHIGAN AVENUE TO TOYSRUS. CAROLYN YOU NEED TO GET OVER THIS. THE BATTLE FOR SAM WAS FAIR AND SQUARE. YOU LOST AND I WON. SAME AS CAPTAIN OF THE TEAM. I’M A BETTER SETTER, LEADER, SPIKER, SERVER, AND BLOCKER. GET OVER IT. YOU’RE OK, BUT APPARENTLY NOT AS GOOD AS I AM PER THE COACHES. THUS LESS PLAYING TIME FOR YOU, AND MORE FOR ME. DEAL.

JAN THIS HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN BREWING FOR A LOT LONGER THAN A YEAR. WHY DON’T WE AGREE TO COMPETE AGAINST THE OPPOSING BIG 10 VOLLEYBALL SCHOOLS, AND NOT OUR OWN TEAM MATES? ALEX I AGREE. LET THE DUST SETTLE. IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME YOU’LL GRADUATE AND BE GONE. THEN YOU’LL JUST HAVE THE MEMORIES. DON’T LET A FEW BLIMPS ERASE ALL THE GOOD LANGDON STREET MEMORIES. JAN WHAT DO YOU KNOW ALEX? YOU’RE A LOST GRAD STUDENT, NOT EVEN A GREEK, AND I’M GOING NO FURTHER. REMEMBER YOU GRADUATED ALEX - THUS MOVE ON IS YOUR THEME; AND I STILL SEE YOU HERE SHOOTING POOL, CHASING GIRLS, AND DRINKING COLLEGE BEER SPECIALS WHEN YOU’RE NOT EVEN TECHNICALLY IN COLLEGE. MANDY ALEX, YOU’RE IN GRAD SCHOOL, NOT COLLEGE ANYMORE. I AGREE. GET BACK TO THE LAB AND PRODUCE SOMETHING. ALEX I’M GONE. SEE YOU AT ONE OF THE REUNIONS.
