I also heard on ESPN radio this morning. He's 3-0 in Rose Bowls. Who knows. I think it would be cool just in terms of building intrigue in the game.

Tressel?? You would think Wisconsin would have enough sense to avoid him with a 39-1/2 foot pole (grinch reference).

When does his show cause expire? I'm sure there are some guys in Madison gearing up their tat shops for his arrivial.

Tressel's name has become one of those that will be thrown around during every coaching search, whether it makes sense or not.

Fellas, my first post has nothing to do with Barry Alveraz, but will help everyone get through the day. Below is a link to Kate Upton's 30 greatest gifs.

Thanks for taking your time away from RCMB to post boobies. Just what this thread needed, an unrelated NSFW link.

I know it's an oxymoron, but their recruiting won't benefit from a geriatric running the program for a month and strolling the sideline at the Rose Bowl.

I'm not sure that's true, with Wisconsin being the quintessential "old man football" program. Besides, Paterno never had trouble recruiting.

Barry Alvarez is 65 - not sure that qualifies as "geriatric"

65 is most definitely geriatric.

Either one of them wil take on this task. I expect Wisky to get hammered in this game. The Nebraska smashing was just a bad showing by the Huskers and not indicative of how well Wisky will play out there.

Wisconsin manhandled them in every possible way. Give them a little bit of credit here.

Wisconsin's record may be silly for a conference champ, but they were in every game they played. Biggest loss was by 7, three of their losses in OT and most by only a field goal. Yes, a loss is a loss, but to shrug the rolling cheese off as a weak opponent is...well...weak. I feel Stanford is an excellent matchup for them, but even in defending Wisconsin here I still think the tree takes the cheese, but it should be a good game.

this is a horrible idea. alvarez hasn't coached in years, and i doubt he's very familiar with the playbook. it probably wouldn't matter, though, as wiscy is going to get stomped on regardless. as good as ball is, he'll be lucky to sniff the endzone that day.

If nothing else running Alvarez out there for the Rose Bowl takes a nice jab back at Bielema.

You have an AD who is too involved and thinks he can still coach. Like having Jerry Jones as your owner. Looks like Bret isn't making huge money, Arkansas is probably a lateral move, and he wont be in an easier environment to win 9 plus games/year SO one has to conclude he just wants to be his own guy. The real question is why Arkansas wanted Beilema, but then again they hired John L Smith...
