As a 30-year Camp Randall season ticket holder, I witnessed the program as a take-it-or-leave-it distraction on autumn Saturdays in which the marching tubas in the fourth quarter were easily heard because the game itself was so dead. Now every UW football game is an event, from “Jump Around” to the rendition of “Build Me Up Buttercup.” Oh yeah, and then there is the excellent, winning football. That?s why I write more with remorse than irritation that I fear UW has pretty much wasted the potential of quarterback Russell Wilson.
