Alvarez Heads to the Hall

For the first time Wisconsin has a coach in the College Football Hall of Fame, and it is none other than Barry Alvarez.

As expected Alvarez was announced as an inductee to the Hall of Fame. The selections came at a ceremony in Times Square and after years of waiting Alvarez will join the likes of Woody Hayes, and Bear Bryant in the Hall of Fame.

Alvarez who was the head coach at Wisconsin from 1990-2006 repaired what was once a shattered program. Before Alvarez the Badgers had won just one bowl game in it's 100 year history as a program. During the Alvarez era Wisconsin won a total of eight bowl games, and three Rose Bowl championships as well.

Barry Alvarez will no doubtingly go down as the greatest coach in Wisconsin history (at least until this point), and the man that switched the direction of the UW football program. Does Barry belong with the greats of college football...with out a doubt...yes.
