| #1 Wisconsin vs. #21 Arkansas | Wednesday, August 30, 2023
Thursday, August 31, 2023
7:00 PM Central | Barnhill Arena
Fayetteville, Arkansas |
Welcome to week 2! Two undefeated teams will enter the Barnhill Arena on Wednesday, but only one undefeated team will leave. The host Razorbacks started their season with sweeps of Tulsa and Michigan State at home in Fayetteville. Reigning SEC Setter of the Week Hannah Hogue had a reliable cast of characters around her for those wins. The Badgers are on the road again, rolling along after a 4-set victory over Baylor and a sweep of TCU in Minneapolis at the Big Ten / Big XII Challenge. Their lineup is also rolling as Coach Sheffield continues to tinker with his roster - Rainbow learned not to attempt to predict starters again after going 0-2 in correct picks last weekend.

The series: Tied 2-2 Neutral: Tied 2-2 Last meeting: Wisconsin swept Arkansas in Manhattan, Kansas on 9/1/2017. Did you know…? The term "razorback" is an American colloquialism for feral pigs and wild boars. The name comes from the coarse hair that stands up along their spines.  Foraging feral pigs in Myakka River State Park in Sarasota, Florida

The first feral pigs originated from domestic stock brought to the continents by European colonizers in the 1500s as a food source. Free-range livestock management practices and escapes from enclosures resulted in the establishment of wild pig populations. In the early 1900s, Russian wild boar were introduced to portions of the United States as game animals. Those animals are transported across the US and released by humans to create hunting opportunities. Consequently, interbreeding between species has occurred, resulting in a variety of feral pig-boar hybrids. These swine are widely considered to be the most destructive invasive species in North America. "Natures rototillers" dig out plants by the root and devour a wide variety of wild animals. They can do remarkable damage to multiple aspects of an ecosystem - mammal and bird communities are 26% less diverse in forests where feral pigs exist.  Today, feral pigs occupy the largest global range of any non-domesticated terrestrial mammal. While they are primarily concentrated in Texas, Arkansas, Florida, and parts of California, there are now populations as far north as Canada - experts thought they wouldn't thrive in cold climates, but the animals have developed thick fur and are observed to burrow into the snow in the winter, creating tunnels or caves known as "pigloos."

Rainbow, one of my favorite features of your write-ups is finding out that a given mascot, which thousands of people love, root for, and proudly advertise as a part of their identity, is, in real life, kind of deplorable.
I had no idea that razorbacks were so destructive!

Maggie Cartwright is also originally from Kimberly, Wisconsin. Getting to play against Wisconsin has to be pretty cool for her.
