I'm almost positive Wisconsin has had 4 7-4 years in a row.  That's pretty 
consistent.  This year the lost 18 starters, hence the bad year in the 
conference.  11 of last year's players were drafted by the NFL, 3 in the first
round (why they only went 7-4 last year is beyond me).  The Badgers have
been in 3 bowls (albe-them minor bowls) in the last 4 years, and have beaten
Ohio State 3 of the last 4 years, and I think the last time OSU lost to
a team at Columbus was to Bucky. They are terribly young this year, so
watch out in 3 years.  

Go Bucky! (I hate to say it but congrats Gopher fans for last week)
