Barry Alvarez is calling it a career at the University of Wisconsin, and Good Karma Brands is sending the legendary figure out on a high note. ESPN Milwaukee and ESPN Madison are both broadcasting “Barry Week” up through Friday afternoon.
“Barry Week” is airing from 12-2 p.m. CT every day this week with five different shows slated at the stations airing throughout the coming days.
Monday kicks off with the “Coaches of Barry” show hosted by Greg Scalzo and Ben Brust, interviewing coaches Greg Gard, Paul Chryst, Bret Bielema, and Paula Wilkins. Tuesday is highlighted by “Coverage of Barry” hosted by Jason Wilde with guests that covered Barry, such as Mike Lucas, Tom Oates, and more.
Wednesday brings the “Business of Barry” hosted by Craig Karmazin with guests such as former-AD Pat Richter, Wheels Up CEO Kenny Dichter, and Ted Kellner. Thursday is the “Players of the Barry” hosted by former Badgers, and ESPN Wisconsin hosts Mark Tauscher, Tarek Saleh, and Derek Engler. Guests on the players’ show include running back Ron Dayne, Brooks Bollinger, and Lee Evans. Friday wraps up with the “Barry Interview” a two-hour sit down with Alvarez, Craig Karmazin, and Mark Tauscher.
Alvarez and Wisconsin Athletics go together like peanut butter and jelly. Alvarez has spent over 30 years as a football coach and athletic director. The face of Wisconsin football from 1990-2005, Alvarez leaves a lasting legacy on the gridiron. He led the Badgers to three Big Ten titles, three Rose Bowl victories, and coached one of the school’s two Heisman Trophy winners in Dayne. Alvarez hung up the whistle as one of 16 football coaches in Big Ten history to win at least 100 games at one school.
One of the most prominent faces in college sports gets the send-off he deserves from Good Karma Brands. Check it out all week on ESPN Milwaukee and Madison.
