Ron Dayne enjoys a celebration as much as the next tailback. But the 1999 Heisman winner hadn’t planned to be here this weekend for the reunion of the 1998 and 1999 University of Wisconsin football teams.
Nothing personal. Dayne still stays in touch with some of his former teammates, like Donnel Thompson and Cecil Martin.
But instead of attending a Friday night reception at Heritage Hall — honoring the ’98 and ’99 Big Ten champions and Rose Bowl winners — he was hoping to be in an NFL training camp.
