For those of ye attending the Rose Bowl today:

Gotta hand it to the loyal fans from Wisconsin.

When we drove up for the 2000 Rose Bowl (also Wisconsin v. Stanford) - all game - one side of the stadium would yell - Ron - and then the other side would answer - Dayne.

Yes, Wisconsin's great running back carried the ball a lot that day - even though an overmatched Stanford stayed in the game.

Hey - maybe there is something to this article - praising ole coach Barry Alvarez for being lucky.

I have always thought that being lucky and being good go hand in hand.

I think Wisconsin is going to have a long row to hoe today. Losing your regular coach is never a good thing.
I hope they do well as they seem to run a clean program and represent middle america, much as the Packers represent middle america. Besides, since my home team(minnesota) can't be there, I should root for my neighbor.

As a proud Badger it's fun to watch the pride and spirit our fans carry with them everywhere they go. On Wisconsin!

Pretty boring game - even if one was rooting for the West Coast team. And it was not one of the better Badger teams.

Oh well - hopefully Oregon will light up the scoreboard.

Stanford won. There is nothing boring about that!

LOL. It was 17 to 14 in the first half - and all though the 2nd half. Almost like one of those dreadful SEC games - all D.
