80's

Actually the first half of the 80's we weren't too bad. McClain had us going in the right direction and getting to bowl games with winning records. We couldn't beat Iowa but we were beating UM and OSU. His death set the program back into the doldrums. It took us almost another decade and Alvarez to dig us out.

I was in Florida a few years ago at a bar wearing an Iowa t-shirt. A guy there began chatting with me telling me he was the Wisconsin starting fullback on their 81 team (can't remember his name.) Iowa was co-champs in the BIG that year with OSU, but he said their team for a while in 81 was doing well and they thought they had a chance of winning it and going tot he Rose Bowl. He was a nice guy and I enjoyed having a few beers with him and his buddy.

Who was the Wisky coach that during his coaches show came out of a coffin and said "we're not dead yet?" That was pretty corny

80's

That may be the 1984 game where Ronnie Harmon broke his leg and Long hurt his knee in the same offensive series.

Dave McClain-coached Badger teams could be counted on to be physical in the trenches. And they went to a few bowl games under him. His heart attack tragedy in 1986 cleared the decks for Alvarez, but not before things got worse for a while.

We've had several active coach tragedies in the conference the last fifteen years or so. Northwestern's Randy Walker and Indiana's Terry Hoeppner come to mind.

Edit: Sorry, Unknown Badger. I didn't see your reply before I posted. I pretty much rewrote it. Talk about (my) redundancy.

You are sure it was a girl, right. Just making sure. Also, was there an air of disappointment when she said, no. She may have been surprised about something that caught her off guard. It wasn't "oh, geez, no", you know with a long sigh afterward? Do you remember?

Ha I do remember it perfectly because it was so dumb it's engrained in my head forever. It was a "playing hard to get" no. She was terrible at playing hard to get.

 

[HawkeyeDenis]

As for the he said she said comments. Supposedly the dumbazzes took photos.

I believe Cephus missed the Iowa game last year in Madison.

I don’t have anything to say about the incident, let the legal system work. No one knows anything at this point.

The bad-ger program is a disgrace to this sport. Their program should face the death penalty for this.

Yeah the 81 team wasn't bad.

This is a big loss for the Badgers. Hopefully we can get to 100 yards against them this year.

 

[Unknownbadger]

Cephus had 30 catches in 9 games last season. A little over 3 a game. In the 5 he missed, including Iowa, both Davis and Taylor each averaged over that. And we have a couple more all set to have breakout years. We WILL miss Cephus but we've won without him before with young talent that stepped up and have shown what they can do against good defensive teams (Iowa, UM, Tosu, Miami).

 

[Chickenlounge]

Sounds like there is a 2nd Wis receiver that may be caught up in this as well?

 

[Unknownbadger]

If Davis contributed negatively in any way, losing him too (and I'm sure he'd be gone) WOULD definitely be a bad thing.

Reminds me of the Goopher scandal couple years back when dilly bar stuck up for the losers. Why are there always a crowd of guys involved, and one girl?

You don't say.

I'm creeped out by guys who are NOT creeped out about multiple guys at a sexual encounter. But that's just me.

There were multiple girls as well. I believe the ratio's are acceptable.

Multiple girls is ALWAYS acceptable (not that I have any first-hand experience). Multiple guys is strictly a "no" (again, ZERO first-hand experience!).

 

[WinOneThisCentury]

Honestly, I wish it was their entire offensive line...that's our big problem.

 

[Chickenlounge]

Davis suspended, but only for 2 games.
