This is a fine tribute to a fine coach, but let's not pretend Wisconsin invented loyalty. We had our own bricks-and-mortar men who built something real. George Welsh was the foundation of everything good in this program, and he stayed for 19 years. He didn't just coach players, he built men like Shawn Moore and Terry Kirby, and he did it without glancing at a conract every other year. That 1990 team that went to the Citrus Bowl and beat Georgia Tech, that was a program built on institutional knowledge, not a flash in the pan. The revolving door you lament is everywhere now, it's the state of the sport, and it's a shame. But to hear a Badgers fan talk about the 90s resurgence without acknowledging they needed Barry Alvarez to completely rebuild from scratch is rich. We were competing for ACC titles while they were finding their footing. The game has lost something with these mercenaries, you're right about that, but that's a sickness infecting everyone, not some unique Wisconsin virtue they've lost.
