    Trucks are out, so we'll see. I'm now thankful for the 8 o'clock start.


    If only they had built the train route to the far west side that was proposed 10-15 years ago...
    Hopefully that means more time for road treatment rather than more time for re-freezing.

    I'm thankful for the 8:00 start, because I can watch the start of BTN's hockey coverage and the MSU-OSU game!

      Yep, watching it now while dinner is being prepared...

      And we thought the KC was empty

        Buck-I-Guy is there! I had never heard of him until this broadcast, but still!

          Also, the Badgers could learn a thing or two from the OSU power play.

            I know what you guys mean about the weather and the late start. Hopefully the later game time will allow it to get below 80 degrees here so I can open up the lanai.

            I will say one thing about complaints about going to Badger Hockey games. I'm very empathetic with everyone's opinions because I love the program and want it to do well, but it all takes on a bit of a different perspective when you don't have the option to go at all.

            Well, I did come up last year for a series. Only about $1500.00 for Mrs. McBadgerton, the little McBadgerton, and I to go to a game!

            Stay safe up there Badgers!

              First off, go to hell. Any sinkholes near your lanai?

              Just so we're clear about tonight, I'm not complaining about the weather, just stating that it may not be safe for me and my family to make the journey. Snow is one thing... ice is a whole nother story.

                Speaking of hating Michigan, how many of you can say that you were at the Badger-Michigan playoff games at Hartmeyer in March of 1977, hmmm? Saturday was St. Patrick's Day and this Jew was helping my Irish "brothers" celebrate. We were a couple rows behind the Michigan bench and letting them have it. The bleacher seats were almost on top of the benches and NO glass in front of the fans back then. I have always remembered giving Ben Kawa a bunch of ****; don't know why, but he was probably the only one who gave us the stink eye.

                EDIT: I can't remember exactly why they played at Hartmeyer...I think it was a farm show or something.

                  No sink holes yet, but it's probably only a matter of time. On the bright side a sinkhole could swallow up a few snakes and gators, so it wouldn't be all bad.

                  My remaining comments were probably not worded well, as I meant going to games in general, not specifically tonight. By all means everyone should be safe.

                  If it's really icy I'd recommend speed skates and one of those go fast hoodie-suits. Be there in no time!

                      To see the Badgers and Wolverines at Hartmeyer...

                      I've played at Hartmeyer. My kid plays at Hartmeyer.

                      That would be a really cool memory...

                        However, you can see Rafalski play tonight. Did not know he was the team chaplain.

                            I wasn't alive when Gary Shuchuk played for the Badgers.

                              Use caution when walking on the pavement around the Kohl Center. It's VERY icy, but I did see a guy putting some salt down.

                                Thanks! I saw this earlier but forgot to post it. Pretty sure Brian can still play in the NHL if he really wants to. I'd be at the Everblades game but I wanted to watch the Badgers tonight instead. If he plays more than one or two games here I'll probably see him play. (Blades are down 1-0 after one so no Rafalski pts. yet anyway.)

                                If that's true, you look a little younger than I actually am, so it's all good. We lived upstate back then so it was PBS replays for me in '77.
