The incredible success of Pat Richter almost cannot be overstated.  He took over as AD in Madison in 1989.  At that time the football team hadn't won a league title since 1962 and the basketball team hadn't since 1947.  Their football and basketball programs were bottom feeders and hadn't been consistently good in about 80 years. 

Football:
  • They won five conference titles in 17 years from 1896-1912. 
  • They won three conference titles in 80 years from 1913-1992. 
  • They have won six conference titles in 28 years from 1993-2020. 
Basketball:
  • They won 11 conference titles in 23 years from 1907-1929. 
  • They won three conference titles in 73 years from 1930-2001. 
  • They have won five conference titles in 19 years from 2002-2020. 

That mostly overlapping period of football (1913-1992) and basketball (1930-2001) futility was totally flipped on it's head by Pat Richter's hires.  That is VASTLY more impressive to me than hiring a successful football coach at Ohio State or a successful basketball coach at Indiana.  He managed to do it at a place where the only people old enough to have even a vague recollection of success where octogenarians. 


Have to also credit Donna Shalala for recognizing that strong athletics are be a benefit for a major university.

Many Chancellors before her would've rather killed sports, like the current one up there. I hope King Barry outlasts her. I think that's why he's still there, honestly.

I never understood this saying. Wouldn't you rather be up a creek without a paddle than down a creek without a paddle?

The saying used to be "Up the creek with an Indian" but it was revised at some point.

I understood it as trying to go upstream with out the paddle, ie you have to put your hands into the crap to move the direction you want.
