Hey BUSC, I saw a Idaho Vandals decal on a car earlier. Vandal On!
There was a long period of time during which Wisconsin only had arguably the greatest collegiate fight song and little else. Accomplishments on the gridiron were few. Badger fans faithfully gathered outside of Camp Randall, tailgated, and then hustled into the stadium for the band's pregame show. After the anthem, there was the kick-off, and then folks would head to the facilities or the concessions and visit with friends in other sections. Seats were filled and rapt attention given to the band's halftime show. Afterwards, once again, fans were free to move about, but as time expired, folks hustled back to there seats and settled in for the 5th quarter - the band's post-game show. As the final notes faded, and the band marched off the field, fans filed out of the stadium, said their goodbyes, piled into their vehicles and headed home.
It was during this time that I payed my visits to the Wisconsin campus. Yes, there was much to admire about the endearing, friendly fans who faithfully assembled for each home game's band performance. The scariest thing about Madison back then was the preponderance of early development among teenaged girls. High School sophomores, freshman even already sporting 34Cs, with more to come...
Then, in 1990, Barry Alvarez became the coach, and things began to change. No longer was football an afterthought for the fans filling Camp Randall's seats. The Badgers in helmets and pads began to claim more attention that those in woolen uniforms carrying horns and drums. On Wisconsin! indeed.
The penalties were not based on the violations. If they were then other schools who were caught doing essentially the same thing would have received similar penalties. However no school before or after received anywhere near the level of sanctions USC received for the same or similar violations.

For quite a few years, I've called the ULM Warhawks the "P40s."

OK, we're back in bitching mode. Suck it up, move on. ND was on probation, and lost scholarships, and we got over it. The lesson is, if you get caught, don't go the coverup route.

Those would be the 5 teams that I either hate or would be cheering for whoever they are playing against.
We only win 2 games a season, but the hatred is piling up
I-D-A-H-O - Idaho Idaho go go go!!!!
Obviously there isn't a reason to hate your football team. 10 in a row makes for a pretty boring 'rivalry'
UVA sucks because it is the only school where their fans think lacrosse success > football success
Do you mind telling me your connection to the dUI Vandals, BUSC? I'm just curious more than anything because Northern Idaho is a sparsely populated part of the country and they've obviously sucked balls for the last 15 years. You don't see many Idaho fans out there, especially these days. Did you go to school there?
Yep, I was born and raised in Boise Idaho. Graduated from Borah High School and then did my undergraduate up in Moscow (Idaho). A little while after graduating I moved down to Southern California to get my masters (USC).
I just went to my nieces wedding up in Moscow in May, campus still looks the same, beautiful but really hard to get to.
When I was a kid I used to go to all of the Boise State football games with my dad, but as soon as I got there I'd hop the fence and go down by the warm up field and play football. As long as we never crossed the track it was ok. Now I think they've covered over all that area with seats.
