That is pretty hysterical considering Michigan tried to hire him. I live in Illinois and have a house in WI and my general take is the program is respected, but it is not like it is a topic of regular discussion. I have not heard any of the things you mentioned for a decade+. I doubt most people have either, except for the loons on this board. It sounds like you are making a list of grievances for Festivus. All this saltiness comes down to one thing--jealousy. But, that is okay. It is a natural human emotion.
