59 is relatively young but it's not that young. He had a stressful job, made that much more stressful by the Holgorsen situation. He may have been bitter about getting fired (and considering the way that happened I would be surprised if he wasn't). He may have felt he didn't have anything to live for. If he'd had any other bad health factors (e.g., Type 2 diabetes he hadn't kept in control), this wouldn't be surprising at all. |
| 1 week 2 days ago | Sharp is sort of a contrarian homer |
A homer spins everything to put his team in a better light. Sharp spins everything to put his team in the worst possible light. Neither one of them does much in the way of thinking, and neither one of them is worth reading. |
| 1 week 5 days ago | Dantonio is one of the "least savvy coaches in the nation?" |
I do not agree with that. I do not like Dantonio personally, but frankly he's had a better record at Michigan State than Nick Saban did. He's had them in a bowl for five straight years for what I believe is the only time in school history, and they haven't had anything approaching this good a run since the late eighties under George Perles. He's also had a better record than any Irish coach since Lou Holtz. |

I bet he'd be up for it. |
| 1 week 6 days ago | Which has no bearing on his HOF status |
Based on the 1985 and 1988 Ohio State games alone, I'd be willing to forgive anything short of "puppy kicker." |

Turns out I may be celiac, which is going to put something of a damper on my beer consumption. |
| 7 weeks 1 hour ago | This was in between the McClain and Alvarez eras |
Dave McClain was the Wisconsin coach from 1978 until his sudden death in the spring before the 1986 season. He was never able to break the 7-win barrier but the Badgers kept looking like like they were close to breaking out. He did have a number of big wins, including four wins over Ohio State and one over Michigan (sigh). The year he died, they went with an interim coach, Jim Hiller, and then hired Don Morton before the 1987 season. This terrible 1987 team was actually Morton's best and managed his only win over a decent opponent, a 26-24 upset of Ohio State that led to the firing of Earle Bruce. |
| 8 weeks 9 hours ago | By winning the B1G championship game |
I do see your point, though, in that we won't play at least two of those teams even if we do play in the B1G championship game. |

When I first moved to Madison, my girlfriend lived more or less around the corner. |
| 8 weeks 6 days ago | Oddly, that was my least favorite of their beers |
I believe I like nearly every other beer they make, though, and up until I moved out of Madison in 2008 I had tried them all. |
