University of Wisconsin-Madison football coach Barry Alvarez helped his beloved Badgers achieve a final victory under his leadership this week in the Capital One Bowl. The 24-10 win was a nice victory for a team that has come a long way in 16 years.
For author Justin Doherty, the ending was perfect, and it was made all the more bittersweet by the fact that Doherty’s first book, “Tales From the Wisconsin Badgers,” was released by Sports Publishing this past August, a mere month after Alvarez announced he was stepping down from his post.
