Barry Alvarez thanked everyone but his gardener, his mechanic and the media during his news conference Thursday. Sources say the University of Wisconsin football coach/athletic director corrected those glaring oversights Friday when he bought a new electric hedge trimmer and took his Lexus convertible in to have the tires rotated.
Speaking of losers in the Great Monroe Street Handoff — Alvarez announced he will become full-time AD after the 2005 season and UW defensive coordinator Bret Bielema will take over as coach — the media is joined by a wide range of groups and individuals whose fates have been altered.
