Wisconsin sports eras end as new ones begin

Word is the Packers have fired coach Mike Sherman, and yesterday Brett Favre seemed to be waving goodbye to the crowd at Lambeau.  Today, Barry Alvarez will be coaching his last game at Wisconsin, and we can only hope that the football program continues in his tradition.  I’m not really sure if this is a good day or a bad day to be a fan of Wisconsin football teams.  We probably won’t know for a few years, so consider today the best of days and/or worst of days.

 

Wisconsin fans, we do have a couple of things going for us.  The Brewers appear to be in a position to deliver excitement to us for the next several years, and since Senator Kohl is running for re-election, we should have at least two good years of Bucks basketball ahead of us.  Come warm September weekends next fall, though, we will probably be in for a world of change as we hunker down to watch out football teams.
