Gruden Camp: Russell Wilson
There has been plenty of interest among NFC North readers about Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson, partly because he played at a Big Ten school and assuredly because he's from my hometown.

Dane County supervisor chastizes Barry Alvarez for comments on alleged Chadima victim
Imagine yourself in this situation: You're visiting your alma mater one weekend to take in a football game and catch up with old friends. At a school-sponsored party on campus, drinks are flowing and everyone is having a good time. After a while, the celebration moves to a bar and a school official offers to give you a ride. But once in the car, he drives you out of town. He keeps telling you what a great ass you have and insists you check out his house. You politely decline, several times, but he doesn't listen and keeps driving away from downtown. You don't have your cell phone with you so you can't call your friends. Eventually, you end up at the official's house in a rural area and you don’t know where the hell you are.More » -

I get that.
For many in Badger Nation, hating Bielema is a default setting. They don’t like the brush cut or the brusque persona, which prompted my colleague, Bill Johnson, to compare the coach to Biff from “Back to the Future.”
Some people don’t like the way Bielema recruits. Many -- and I mean many -- quibble with his handling of things like special teams and clock management.
A lot of people rip him for wearing a red pullover.
I get all of that.More » -

Crist to transfer from Irish; Badgers an option?
The Chicago Tribune reported late Saturday night that Crist has asked for, and been granted a release from, his Notre Dame scholarship. The decision to transfer was finalized late last week following a conversation between Crist and head coach Brian Kelly.
“Dayne and I had a good conversation Friday and I have granted him permission to speak to other schools,” Kelly told the Tribune. “Dayne has been a valuable member of our team the last two years and if he feels he needs to look for a better situation then I think we owe that to him.”More »
