I'm not a cheesehead. I'm just a Badger. I love the Bears, White Sox, Bulls and Blackhawks. Why? Because I'm from Chicago.

But I went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and graduated in May of 2008. I covered the men's basketball team for three years, witnessing three NCAA Tournaments, one Big Ten title, one Big Ten Tournament title and one AP No. 1 ranking. I wrote for The Capital Times, the Big Ten Network and the Daily Cardinal and hosted a radio show on WSUM for two years. I also worked in the Badgers radio booth with Matt Lepay and Mike Lucas during the 2007 football season.

Now I'm back in Chicago, covering the Badgers from afar while working for the Big Ten Network and WSCR 670 The Score.

All the writers at Bucky's 5th Quarter have covered Badger football, basketball or hockey at some point, but most importantly, we are all Badgers ourselves.

Please feel free to contact me at aahoge@gmail.com with any questions or comments.
