Whew! We made Nationals, that could have been embarrassing, huh? Anyway, the mud proves no match for the Hodags in Cedar Falls, Iowa and we take the region.

After a windy weekend in Columbia the Hodags return back to Madison as the champs!

After 6 hard weeks of practices the remaining players have been split up into two tryout teams and are given a final chance to prove they deserve a spot on this year's Hodag roster. Both teams are led by a Hodag captain as well as several other returning players. This is the fourth year in a row that the Hodags have hosted the No Wisconsequences tournament, and the level of competition looks to be incredibly high! The official 2011-2012 Hodag team will be announced this Sunday night (10/16)!

After 2 very competitive rounds of tryouts the captains and officers have narrowed down the candidates for the 2012 Hodag team to 45 players. This includes 19 returning Hodags, along with 26 newcomers. This year has arguably been the most competive tryout process in recent history, and round 3 will be filled with an incredibly high level of play. The final team will be made following the No Wisconsequences tournament on Oct. 15th and 16th. Stay tuned!

After a hard-fought weekend the Hodags reclaim their spot on top of the North Central region, beating Minnesota 13-11 in semi-finals and Carleton 14-11 in finals. More pictures and a write-up to follow!

"Blue Print: Road to Repeat" is a feature length documentary that follows the full season of the 2008 Wisconsin Hodags. After two years in a row of making finals, losing and then winning once, the Hodags set out to bring the championship back to Madison for the third time in six years. This would be a trial of focus, dedication, and unity for a team beleaguered by a record snowfall winter, and a line up of bitter competitors waiting for their shot at the returning champion.
