Wisconsin now is a semi-helmet, they should up their recruiting as a result.  Were I an OL or RB, they'd make my short list.

QB too, perhaps, if I thought I was pretty good and only wanted to ride pine at Ohio State.  If Wisconsin can pull in just a few 4-5 star types, they could easily get into top ten every preseason.

Can you imagine the smoked ribs on some Caribou or Moose.Or you could indulge yourself with the Inuit treat of 6 week old buried Salmon heads by the shore.You could even go out and swim with the Orca's
I can imagine Caribou and moose.  I've had some in the past.  not smoked ribs, but I'd rather stick with my corn-fed beef and pork
I'm guessing the salmon there is better than what I get in Iowa.  Heck the heads might be much better than the Iowa fillets
not much of a swimmer, current in the Missouri is too strong, otherwise landlubber

I prefer to remove the skin and cook them on direct for 2.5 minutes per side. Best served with a vinaigrette sauce, with a side of pasta and veggies.



Ping me if you'd like a recipe. I get so much damn salmon... I have to create a lot of things.

this is a magic dish with salmon- give it a shot... takes no more than 20 minutes or so to prepare to perfection:

couscous
golden raisins
olive oil
butter
coconut milk OR canned pina colada 
salmon fillet
black pepper
capers
lemon or lemon juice
baby spinach
ginger sauce

set water to boil, add touch of oil and touch of butter and couscous along with a handful of golden raisins- adding one part short of water and adding coconut milk in it's place halfway through...  if you like it sweeter, replace coconut milk with pina colada mix- not the solid part, but the liquid.. this is too sweet for my taste but most really like it. 

lightly coat salmon filet in olive oil, add some butter to skillet, and saute with slightest amount of sea salt, peppers, and capers- a touch of lemon really sets it free.

in same skillet once fillet is done, remove it add baby spinach and saute it as well- wilting it.  add touch of sea salt to make it pop.  just a touch. 

make bed of couscous on plate, surround it with spinach, lay fillet over top- decorate with ginger sauce.  

i made this for my GF now Wife on our first Valentines Day, and I'm now required to do so every year... I don't mind, it's REALLY good.

i used to own/operate a cigar shop- a dude adjacent my shop owned/operated a hair salon... he was as straight as an arrow though he didn't look it at all, and man-oh-man you should have seen the ladies he poured through... he also dabbled in music, playing in several bands and playing solo. he cut a record or two along the way.  he opened for hootie and the blowfish before they were hardly anything more than a college band playing the south carolina circuit.  my buddy needed an opening act so he called Darius.  They agreed- HatBF opened, and Matt came in behind them as the headliner... after the show Matt went looking for the manager to get paid, and found that Darius had taken off with the paycheck for both of them!! he was PISSED- as it turned out, HatBF played at that bar semi-regularly and the manager didn't think twice about it... He never got his money back from him, but at least they laughed about it some years later.  I don't know what happened to Matt, been years since i've seen him.

Pretty sure I'd be asking Darius for the money, with 20+ years interest, right about now.  He can afford it. :)

I'd rather have my fingernails plucked out, one by one, by a savage beast, or an angry woman, over the course of ten days.
Damn I can't even imagine the original thing dog sled teams relaying the Diphtheria Serum to the northern outpost of Nome in the 1920's.No nothing up there,dark,deathly frigid,no global warming,no help,no BBQ smokers,frozen beer,frozen coffee,frozen digits,talk about fuel line freeze up,get tough or die.Those were some rough mofos with a righteous resolve

They just got this one. Highest rated QB to ever pick UW. The staff worked their asses off to keep him in the fold, once the vultures started coming in. The good news is he's on campus already.

Helluva list of offers.

Wisconsin's recruiting numbers would be expected to rise fairly dramatically in the next few years at least.

It's a case for how to build up a program somewhat mired in obscurity from back in the day.

It takes time.

Yep. You'd think 6 conference titles in <20 years would have done it, but it didn't. They need to win another one soon, to maintain the momentum from good/great seasons and winning bowl games against other top schools.

I ponder at times how programs like UNC and Illinois could get relevant again.  The Wisconsin model (and perhaps Stanford) seem obvious to me, but they just plod along, firing coaches and changing little or nothing beyond patina.

I know part of it is student apathy at both places, but I would guess Stanford student apathy is high also.
