Comments
Alan Ameche. Love his burger at Gino Marchetti’s restaurant. Great list. | ||
I would say Melvin Gordon quickly making a play for the starting running back spot. Solid list, On, Wisconsin! | ||
Elroy Hirsch should be on the list. Great list though.
| ||
The reason Hirch is not on the list is because he played only his first two years with Wisconsin before transferring to Michigan. I stuck with players that finished their college careers with the Badgers before moving onto the NFL. Crazy Legs was amazing! |
