... without successful football programs you might as well close shop on all mens and womens college athletics other than maybe basketball. As a poor but ambitious kid at U of Wisconsin I had a great crew/rowing experience that helped shape who u am today.  It also kept me semi fit vs. Late nights of drinking smoking cigs and shooting pool for money while full time school working full time paying my own way ... honestly I don't know how I did it all but WISCO CREW WAS A BLAST ... GO BIG RED!! ;)
