I'm submitting my resume today. Obviously the highlight would be "Revered poster of BuckeyePlanet." I'm not sure where to go from there though. Does bumping into Alvarez once count? I'm concerned I might be over-qualified.

I'm concerned you didn't mention the keys to fitting in in Wisconsin on your resume-

How much beer do you consume before 11am on any given day?
What is the most you have ever eaten during one sitting at an all night pancake establishment?
Favorite cheese?
How many cases of beer are appropriate for a day trip to the Dells?

I was hoping that'd come up in the interview.

BUT SINCE YOU ASKED...

1) Depends. Sometimes I just replace sleep with drinking, so the days really start to blend together.
2) The pancake equivalent of the Heart Attack burger.
3) Wunderbar.
4) 2 if it's Spotted Cow, 6 if it's Miller. (I have developed a specific tolerance for the various beers of Wisconsin).

In the past, sports were cheaper to run. Coaches were payed less, facilities were not as nice. We also certainly didn't have as many sports before the TV contracts.

Regardless, based on your post directly above this one, it seems we agree. Funding other programs is easier, and in some cases possible, because of the existence of the football team.

You also didn't have Title IX and I believe the pressure to show a profit and as you put expand facilities wasn't as great...

Barry's presser taking place right now. Says "Bret used my gameplan to win".

On being asked by the players to coach the Rose Bowl: "If I was gonna coach, we weren't gonna screw around. We were going out there to win."

Edit: Apparently Arkansas AD did NOT reach out to Alvarez before contacting Bielema.

It sounds like Bret didn't ask for permission from Barry to reach out to Arkansas earlier this fall with the fat idiot inquired about the job.

No, so in summation, Arkansas AD did not contact Alvarez before talking to Bret. Bret first told Alvarez he was leaving after he took the job. Nice.

Just listening to Barry Alvarez on "The Dan Patrick Show" and every action by Bielema seemed like a d*ck move.

The fact he said it was already done by the time he talked to Alvarez doesn't seem right (but understandable today).

Nice that Alvarez took a shot at Jeff Long by saying he'll contact the AD of the candidates he'll interview.

Unlike others, I always liked Wiscy. Bienema made that impossible, so I'd love to see Barry go out there and pull the upset.
