A younger generation of UW football fans has grown accustomed to watching winning teams, filling the seats and the athletic department?s coffers and guessing just where the Badgers will play their next bowl game come the holidays.
An older generation of fans, though, didn?t always have it so good. After some great days in the ?50s and early ?60s, they endured one horribly long losing streak, then watched patiently as the Badgers, led by an athletic director known as Crazylegs, started to turn the team?s fortunes around only to have it all collapse under a new administration into yet another long losing streak. It was a time to try any serious Badger fan?s soul.
