University of Wisconsin quarterback Jon Budmayr might be out for the season, if he decides to have surgery on his right elbow. Budmayr, a sophomore, will see a specialist on Thursday – and a decision will then be made on a possible operation. Budmayr has missed most of the Badgers’ preseason camp with problems in the ulnar nerve of his right throwing arm. He had been listed as the team’s Number-One quarterback until Russell Wilson came in. Redshirt freshman Joe Brennan is now the Number-two quarterback, and true freshman Joel Stave is the Number-three signal caller. The Badgers are getting ready for their season opener a week from Thursday night at home against Nevada-Las Vegas.

The UW-Milwaukee women are 2-0, after shutting out DePaul 1-0 at home. Kelly Lewers scored 40 seconds into the game, and Milwaukee’s lead held up. The Panthers dedicated their field at halftime in honor of former coach Laura Moynihan.
