Alvarez getting away is what was the major step in changing the ND legacy. Alvarez is a Rockne type, recreation for the new generation. UW was THE LAUGHING STOCK of the big ten for 25 years.
Alvarez went 6-6 in year 1(91), then dominated. I used to run next to him on engineering campus and ask him when he was headed back to ND back in 02 and he laughed and said, "no way buddy." I was sad and happy at the same time, GO BADGERS but still, GO IRISH i used to say to him. I was born in 83 so i never saw these teams play, and if they did I would have to take the home team and be conflicted the whole time.....LAMBEAU?
