Thomas Wolfe had it all wrong. You can go home again. I'm proving it by returning to the Capital Times, where my first tour of duty spanned 39 years (1971-2010)

This ugly loss added insult to injury. The Badgers are banged up. Started the game without Sebastian Cheeks. Lost Javan Robinson and Matt Jung. Once again, Mason Posa and Cooper Catalano played their hearts out. But the absence of so many good defensive players is taking a toll.

In ironic twist, Ryan Hopkins was more effective as a runner than passer which cost Colton Joseph his job. Hopkins broke off 2 big runs on UW's late TD drive. But completed only 11of22 passes for 77 yards. Outplayed by Cardell Williams (21of23 for 183.) Cardell Williams? Gulp.

This was a debacle. By definition, a sudden and often humiliating failure. Wisconsin lost to interim coach, backup quarterback and undisciplined team that was guilty of 11 penalties. Many dumb penalties. The Badgers were also guilty...of 3 lost fumbles, lack of urgency. Painful.
