Had some fun with UW-La Crosse football coach Matt Janus, the day before their home-opener. Asked him about that 18-hour road trip to New York and what it's like for others when they stop to eat and 100 Division III football players walk into a restaurant. We also talked a bit about his playing days at UW-Platteville, where he was a linebacker. That led to a conversation about his all-conference linebacker, Westby native Ryan Daines. Last thing we hit on were his dual threats at quarterback and the wide receiver, nicknamed 'The Alien," who had a highlight-reel one-handed touchdown catch in Week 1.
