    Alex and a few other kids from this year's freshman class decide to transfer, a few current commits decide to adjust their timing with coming to campus and BAM you get balanced classes.

    You all got what you wanted, right? Balanced recruiting classes was the big deal that was holding us back, right?
    There's a myriad of issues, and unbalanced classes is just one of those issues. Alex Shuchuk potentially leaving the program isn't going to have an effect one way or another.

      From what I have been told the hockey facilities at OSU are not the problem. What people are saying they need a hockey only facility to keep up with the rest of the Big Ten and I guess they are supposedly working on it. I can't remember if they want to open it 2018 or 2019.

        In the words of Meat Loaf,

        'Cause two out of three ain't bad
        Now don't be sad
        'Cause two out of three ain't bad.......
        Actually 2 out of 3 won't do it for me. I get the trifecta, then I renew.....not before.

        Andy Baggot called this a shocking development. ***? I like Andy, but really? Didn't he expect anything to happen?

          "nope. UW already has good facilities"

          I agree UW already has good facilities. So I don't know where you go that I disagree with you.

            Then how will have they same problems OSU has? OSU has facility issues that Oz was unsuccessful in improving. UW has excellent facilities, so I don't see how hiring Oz will result in the same problems at UW that OSU had.

            Maybe I don't understand what makes Oz a "bad idea" from your post.

              Like everybody I believed the reason Oz left OSU was the facilities. I started to ask around and see what happened. I was told OSU facilities are in line with the rest of the Big Ten. Since, the school has plenty of money OSU has a plan to build a hockey specific stadium sometime between 2018 and 2020. . Moreover, in my opinion without getting into it I would not hire him at my school.

                    Chuck's article is both incredibly brutal and incredibly honest in the recruiting woes breakdown. Is Eaves living in 2003? This is another reason for him to be canned, if he is not keeping up with the times, especially in recruiting (and scoring goals [though that was always a problem given his system]) then UW needs someone who is on top of his game. This would be like me ignoring all my clients at my job, if I do that someone else is talking to them and pretty soon I have no more clients, no more work and likely no more job. The name and tradition of Wisconsin is not enough, and if Eaves doesn't realize that, he should go find some midget team to coach somewhere.

                    I was pretty set on actually renewing my friday night tix yesterday, but now I'm ****ed again and that is in doubt.

                      Being the new guy around here, I would really like to say something positive once in a while. But these two quotes from Eaves in the news article are funny.

                      "I’ve not heard any of this venom,” he said, leaning back in his chair. “Nobody’s come up to me and shared this venom with me. I would love the opportunity to hear some of it."
                      then later in the article:

                      Eaves said there’s nothing he can do about those angry voices, so he tunes them out.

                      Hmmmm

                        that 2nd quote was about the angry voices over him firing his assistants, at least that's how I took it.

                            Wow. I agree with Gandalf 100%. I'm ********ng ****ed off again. Great articles by the way too. Honest, brutal but honest. After reading them, I do not see how BA could keep Eaves. The Boeser fiasco is mind-boggling, especially when he was playing in Madison. How they could not have someone there to show him and his family some love is beyond me. An assistant, maybe a cute co-ed or grad assistant..I'm not saying go all Tennessee on him (or whatever school had the special "female co-ed recruiting squad") but for christ sake, at least show some interest and reinforce that his time here in Madison will be fantastic.

                                Eavisms have grown very old. Climbing the mountain or putting hay in the barn used to be mildly amusing.
