On the recordDecember 17, 2010
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of House Resolution 1767, which commends the Wisconsin Badger football team for an outstanding season and a 2011 Rose Bowl bid. The Wisconsin Badgers just completed a dominant regular season, winning the Big Ten title, finishing 11-1, and earning a bid to the Rose Bowl game on New Year's Day 2011. I would like to extend my congratulations to the University of Wisconsin-Madison chancellor, Biddy Martin; three-time winning Rose Bowl coach and athletic director, Barry Alvarez; and Head Coach Bret Bielema, for their outstanding season. The Badgers have achieved an outstanding overall 49-15 record under Coach Bielema's tenure. For a second consecutive season, the Badger football team features 22 players selected to the Academic All-Big Ten team, surpassing the previous record of 19 set a few years ago. The team also--and this is worth noting--is the least penalized team in the United States, displaying remarkable discipline and leadership on the field.
