Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle tells WIBA News…he’s one of Barry Alvarez’s biggest fans and offered his congratulations to the Badger’s long time coach for taking the program beyond anyone’s expectations. Doyle says…as a life long resident and UW Alumnus…he suffered through some of the program’s lean years. But he had this message for the retiring head coach. “Well, as I said to Barry…and the same is true for the Packers…it’s a lot easier to govern this state…on a Monday after the Badgers and the Packers have won a football game. You know people are really committed to these teams in Wisconsin.” Doyle says he has confidence that Defensive Coordinator Bret Bielema will continue the winning tradition at the UW.
