Based on more than 20 years at the back of a Madison microphone, this autobiographical account follows the University of Wisconsin Badgers’ play-by-play announcer as he witnessed the varsity’s famed golden era of athletics. Sharing the writer’s memories of the Badgers’ successful run at the gridiron, the chapters document highlights such as Barry Alvarez leading the team to 11 bowl games in 16 seasons—including three Rose Bowl wins—and his successor, Brett Bielema, posting four 10-win seasons and advancing to a bowl game every year. Badgers’ basketball may be covered, chronicling the boys’s streak of five winning seasons, four qualifications for the NCAA tournament, a Final Four appearance in 2000, and more. Detailing the personalities that have contributed to shaping Wisconsin sports throughout this monumental period, this sports memoir also features revealing stories at the teams’ legendary coaches in addition to star players including Mike Kelley, Alando Tucker, Erasmus James, and Montee Ball.
