Fifty years ago this fall, at the Northwestern game, members of the legendary 1912 Wisconsin Badgers football team were introduced. Then a player on the ?62 team, as I watched those old-timers file onto the field, I couldn?t believe such scrawny old guys had ever played Big Ten football. This fall the famous ?62 team will be remembered. Now, yet another 50 years later, with linemen another l00 pounds heavier, we are the scrawny old guys.
