Jan. 21, 2015: Paul Chryst’s first National Signing Day. Badger fans, myself included, were ecstatic to know that Chryst would be bringing in a solid quarterback to eventually take the reins from Joel Stave, who Jake continually reminds me is the winningest quarterback in Wisconsin history.
Who couldn’t be more excited about this quarterback? Chryst was known as an offensive guru, and I was pumped to see him bring in someone who had significant success in high school with skills that seemed to translate well to college.
Well, I was excited about Austin Kafentzis, and based on my recollection of Twitter and certain radio talk shows, everyone else was too.
