Alvarez, who retired as UW’s coach after the 2005 season, also coached UW against Stanford in the Rose Bowl after Bret Bielema bolted for Arkansas two years ago … When Bielema’s replacement, Gary Andersen, took off for Oregon State on Dec. 10, Alvarez again came out of the bullpen to coach UW when it plays Auburn on Thursday. He did so after UW’s seniors, recalling their Rose Bowl experience two years ago, asked him to come down from the athletic director’s box one more time.
