Just this once, permission granted.
I don't like personally know Barry, no, but he came aboard when I was an undergrad, and he took the Badgers to the Rose Bowl just before I moved to Pasadena and then again right after I moved to Pasadena, so I like him because he gave a bunch of my friends an excuse to visit. :-D
He's pretty amazing -- in the early years of my undergrad career before his arrival (1989 to maybe '91? When did he become the coach?) the Badgers were stinky.
