Does he have a beef with KF these days? It was interesting because he talked about NW and Wisconsin as the teams to beat in the West, that they have won the West over the last several years, and then talked about what he learned at Wisconsin about teams being tough and physical. I couldn't help but think there was a slight in there somewhere for Iowa. After all...in the 11 years of the Big Ten Championship...Iowa has been the West winner just as many times as NW...twice.
Bert's a good interview...he's always good for a few anecdotes on what he's learned. He should maybe look at the tat on his leg to remember where he came from.
It got me thinking...Harbaugh said that some coaches think that because of where they are as programs (OSU)...they forget they started on third base. I think the case could be made for Bert at Wisconsin. Bert started on third base...and rode the coattails of Barry Alvarez. Alvarez, even during Bert's stint, still had a profound impact on the program.
Makes me really want to keep the win streak going against Illinois.
