Reply to "Nat'l signing day"

I do have a question for anyone here with an opinion on it.  Why is it that everyone says UW is such a hard sell for recruits?  Location? Weather? Academic Standards? or is it just as simple as the UW football program is considered "boring"?

I grew up near GB and I have only been to Madison once in my lifetime when I saw UW lose to NW something like 6-3 in the early 80's.  I had an absolute blast in Madison and I have nieces and nephews that go there and every single person raves about the place.  Even my in laws from Illinois say UW is one of the best.

I guess the first thing people will say is the weather.  But it isn't like the rest of the Big Ten isn't cold and if you have spent any time during the winter in Michigan, PA, or god awful Ohio (which is where I live) it isn't like UW is any worse. 

It isn't like the city is that remote either.  If you think it is try driving to State College, Pa sometime talk about a place that is small and REMOTE. 

Sorry for the ramble but I was just curious what others think.
