Junior defensive end David Gilbert sat on one of the folding chairs that dotted the Camp Randall Stadium turf Sunday, leaned back and surveyed the surreal scene that played out during Wisconsin?s football media day.
Gilbert was alone, as were many of his teammates. Two chairs and about 20 yards to Gilbert?s left was quarterback Russell Wilson, who transferred to UW from North Carolina State and is expected by many observers to win the starting job.
Gilbert couldn?t see Wilson. Yet he knew the throng of reporters and photographers – at least two dozen strong – had gathered there to interview UW?s No. 1 offseason story.
