Bret Bielema sometimes enjoys quizzing recruits who are contemplating signing with the University of Wisconsin.
His favorite question:
Which football team leads the Big Ten Conference in overall victories over the last three seasons?
The typical responses: Ohio State or Michigan.
“A lot of kids will say something that’s not right,” Bielema said Monday during the first day of the Big Ten pre-season meetings at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. “It’s a good little shock and awe factor that we use.”
The No. 1 team is UW, with 31 overall victories from 2004-’06.
