I do not care what the 2027 recruiting rankings say on ESPN right now. I do not care if Oregon and Ohio State are stacking five-stars like they are collecting baseball cards. You want to know how we built this program in the 1990s? Barry Alvarez walked into a farmhouse in Platteville and offered a scholarship to a kid who split firewood before practice and ran the 40 in 4.8 on a dirt road. That kid became a thre-year starter and we won three Rose Bowls. Now we are chasing 17-year-olds who want a bag before they have even taken a snap under the lights. Shawn Eichorst is coming back as AD and I hope he remembers what made Wisconsin football Wisconsin football. It was not the fancy uniforms or the recruiting stars. It was tough kids from Wisconsin who wanted to hit somebody. That is how you win. That is the only way you win in this state.
