More than a decade later, Wisconsin football coach Barry Alvarez still vividly recalls the violent clash of emotion and color. Euphoria one moment; agony the next. One moment you’re wading through a sea of red and dreaming the impossible, a trip to the Rose Bowl. The next moment you’re face to face with the unthinkable, a crush of bodies in the north end of Camp Randall Stadium, many of those bodies blue after being trampled during the students’ rush from the stands.
