Chikwe Obasih has started parts of three seasons for Wisconsin at defensive end, becoming a staple on one of the best units in college football. That much, you may already know.
But there is more to Obasih than his football skills. Obasih, the Badgers' resident goofball, also happens to be something of a Pokemon expert. Yes, the 6-foot-3, 268-pound redshirt junior has a soft spot for the Japanese kids game centered on fictional characters with unusual names.
Earlier this season, an "Ask the Badgers" segment aired between quarters of a Wisconsin home game.
