Andy Baggot

Andy Baggot has been on the Wisconsin State Journal sports staff since 1978, when he was thrilled to be hired to take prep scores over the telephone. Now a columnist and the beat writer for the UW men’s hockey team, Baggot also covers the UW athletic department. A Tomah High School graduate, he's been fortunate enough to attend two Olympics, three Rose Bowls, one Super Bowl and four NCAA championship games.

The task of earning a degree as a student-athlete at the University of Wisconsin will be acknowledged on two prominent fronts this weekend.
