MADISON, Wis. -- Leaping at Lambeau Field might come at a price for the Wisconsin Badgers.They might be better off staying on the ground on Saturday in the marquee season opener against No. 5 LSU because the celebration could be a penalty in college football.The Tigers and Badgers will play at Lambeau, the iconic home of the NFLs Green Bay Packers. When the Packers score, they make a beeline for the stands behind the end zone and jump into the crowd to make the Lambeau Leap.I would love to see a touchdown, a straight-faced coach Paul Chryst said on Monday, pausing for a few seconds as onlookers chuckled in the Camp Randall Stadium media room.I believe it is a penalty, Chryst added.The leap might run the risk of an unsportsmanlike conduct flag, not something the Badgers want to draw in a high-stakes game against LSU.Ive been so focused on making sure that ball can somehow cross that (goal) line for the Badgers, and try to find a way to keep it from crossing for the Tigers, Chryst said. Didnt spend a lot of time trying to clarify that.Chryst said the team did talk about it in the spring, and that the topic might come up again this week.Otherwise, there are so many other things to prepare for in another nationally-televised opener for Wisconsin. The most glaring priority is trying to stop LSU running back and Heisman Trophy candidate Leonard Fournette.Two years ago, LSU beat Wisconsin in Houston at NRG Stadium. Last year, the Badgers lost to Alabama 35-17 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in Chrysts debut as Wisconsins head coach.Both times, the Badgers were considered underdogs playing an SEC power in the South.The situation might be reversed on Saturday, even if LSU fans do tend to flock to road games, too.Hoping its kind of vice versa, center Michael Deiter said. Im expecting more of a home-game feel, which will be nice.Outside linebacker Vince Biegel grew up a Packers fan at home in Wisconsin Rapids, about 110 miles west of Green Bay.In March during spring practice, the Badgers practiced in Green Bay. They also looked like wide-eyed football fans when they toured the Packers Hall of Fame.It was a really special moment for me, and it was really special for a lot of guys on this team as well, Biegel said. We have a lot of Wisconsin-raised guys here, and I think it was also fun for the out-of-state guys to see what Lambeau is about.But this weekend is all about business. For cornerback Sojourn Shelton, that means no leaping, at least during the game.After you win, thats a whole totally different story, Shelton said . As far as during the game, Im not concerned about Lambeau leaping, Im trying to get a win.---AP College Football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAPVapormax Discount .

First off, the fans ripped the Cubbies introduction of a fuzzy new kid-friendly mascot named "Clark".The past, present and future of Seattle Storm basketball fully intersected on July 15. Three-time WNBA MVP Lauren Jackson came back from Australia for her jersey retirement ceremony. Sue Bird, who won two WNBA titles with Jackson, stole the show with her hilarious and touching tribute to her former teammate.And the young duo charged with being the next Bird and LJ -- guard Jewell Loyd and forward Breanna Stewart -- smiled while watching the proceedings. But in their minds, you know the wheels had to be spinning just a little: Might this be us someday? Will we have this kind of legacy?Then, of course, it was back to the everyday work of the WNBA season, and for Stewart, the Rio de Janeiro Olympics too. But the second rendition of the same storyline in Seattle -- two No. 1 picks taken in back-to-back years and becoming a dynamic duo -- is in the early stages of playing out very well for the Storm.Seattle returns to the playoffs after a two-year absence, and as the No. 7 seed will visit No. 6 Atlanta in Wednesdays first-round single-elimination game (ESPNEWS, 8 p.m. ET).The Storm (16-18) won seven of their 10 games after the Olympic break. Stewart (18.3 PPG) and Loyd (16.5 PPG) are Seattles top scorers, and Stewart also leads the team in rebounds (9.3) and blocked shots (1.9). She and Loyd both average 3.4 assists.I think theyre doing great, and its only their first year together, Bird said. They still have a long way to go and so much to learn about their games, and how their games can relate to each other. But for the most part, you can see a lot of it already.Both are extremely athletic, both very dynamic; their highlights are going to be those alley-oop plays to each other. That right there paints of picture of what theyre going to bring.We know Stewart is quite the ace in regards to one-and-done games such as the Storm will face Wednesday. She and the UConn Huskies won four consecutive NCAA titles from 2013 to 16. Three of those came at the expense of Loyds Notre Dame team, which UConn beat in the 2013 national semifinals and the 2014 and 15 finals.Then Loyd opted to forgo her senior season with the Irish and declared for the WNBA draft, going No. 1 in 2015. When the lottery balls fell for the Storm to have No. 1 for the 2016 draft as well, the ccomparisons to Bird and Jackson began immediately.dddddddddddd?Making the handoff actually tangible, is that Bird is still right there as the heart of the Storm, having one of her best seasons at the age of 35. She led the league in assists (5.8) and also had her career high in 3-pointers (72) and shooting percentage from behind the arc (44.4). Shes the Storms third-leading scorer at 12.8 PPG.It might sound too perfect a script. And to be fair, Loyd and Stewart should not always have to be thought in terms of how they relate to the duo that came before them, one of whom is still very much around.But the thing is, Loyd and Stewart dont seem to be worried about how theyre going to live up to such expectations. They get it: Theyre star players who are exciting to watch individually and as a tandem, and the league needs that. They are the present, and most definitely the future.Loyd was the WNBAs Rookie of the Year last season, and Stewart is a lock for that honor this year. In fact, Stewart was a legitimate candidate for MVP as a rookie.Shes fearless; shes not afraid of risks or challenges, Seattle coach Jenny Boucek said of Stewart. Shes a great teammate, and she wants to be coached. As good as she is, there are still areas where she can improve, and she knows that.The same was said last year about Loyd. The jump in her scoring showed how well she put into practice the things that she learned from her rookie year, when she averaged 10.7 points.Having Sue telling me to be aggressive, to keep going -- having her in my ear has made me feel more confident, Loyd said. The work I did overseas helped me, too. I think the game feels a little slower your second year; Im seeing things earlier, reacting sooner. I think my defense is better, and on offense I understand mismatches better and where I can get my shots.And whether this 2016 postseason is very short, or the Storm go on a run, Loyd and Stewart are aware theyve landed somewhere pretty special.Its been really exciting, Stewart said. We played against each other a lot. Now to be on the same team ... obviously shes a great young guard, and its nice being able to grow together. ' ' '
