Among the many interesting storylines to the Sept. 2 Bowling Green-Wisconsin football game at Cleveland Browns Stadium:

Wisconsin offensive line coach Bob Palcic is a former Browns assistant. His daughter, Amy, is a Browns public-relations official.

Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst is the brother of Rick Chryst, commissioner of the Mid-American Conference. The MAC is based in Cleveland, and Bowling Green is a conference member.

Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema and his Bowling Green counterpart, Gregg Brandon, are both represented by agent Neil Cornrich, head of NC Sports in Beachwood. Cornrich also represents Wisconsin Athletic Director Barry Alvarez, the UW legend who preceded Bielema as Badgers head coach.
