PASADENA, Calif. ? For more than 30 years, a thrilling loss in the Rose Bowl stood as perhaps the most glorious moment for the University of Wisconsin football program. The ninth-ranked Badgers have moved far beyond that point, so there was little solace to be gained from a highly entertaining 45-38 loss to No. 6 Oregon on Monday night in the 98th Rose Bowl. It was a cruel ending to a season that included two other heartbreaking last-second losses that kept UW (11-3) from playing in the national championship game.
