Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on November 17, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Coach Chryst! From throwing touchdown passes as a Badger quarterback to expertly calling plays from the sideline, you've truly lived Wisconsin football—probably even dreaming in cardinal and white.

Whether coaching Pitt Panthers or leading our beloved Badgers back-to-back into bowl games with relentless grit—and probably consuming more cheese curds than medically advisable—you’ve earned your legend status. May this birthday be like a perfectly executed play call: smooth yet surprising, fun but memorable.

Here's hoping today’s cake slices easier than navigating Big Ten defenses did in recent seasons. Keep scoring touchdowns both on field and off!
