Cal Poly game a poor choice for Senior Day

Because Camp Randall Stadium undeniably is in the top 10 of college footballâ??s game-day experiences, hereâ??s the analogy that comes to mind for the final game on Wisconsinâ??s 2008 schedule:

Youâ??re at the Cannes Film Festival, day after day of great cinema in an unparalleled setting. Then, to close it out, they screen the Don Knotts opus, â??The Incredible Mr. Limpet.â?

This is not to besmirch Cal Poly, an excellent school that does what it can with football in the division formerly known as I-AA. But this is no way for a place like UW to complete a regular season, much less to honor its seniors.
