    Anyone know if they have plans if the weather makes the game unplayable? I imagine they'll play if at all possible, but there are conditions (say 20 inches of snow and 40 mph winds) that would make it impossible. Do they reschedule or just not play the game?
    I forget where I read it, maybe one of the campus papers in the past week? But anyways, the article I saw said if weather was an issue on Saturday, they were prepared to play on Sunday- Super Bowl be ****ed.

      Makes sense. The only other alternative would be to refund the tickets, which would be hard and expensive.

        In my experience it isn't until you get to the 5 to 7 day mark where a forecast starts to be more reality then fiction. To be fair, to accurately evaluate this single forecast would depend on how different it is from the previous forecast and how much the next forecast changes, the more stable it is, the more likely it is going to be close to reality. Not to mention how closely it compares to other forecast models. A single forecast from a single model at 10 days is effectively worthless.
        I dont put much faith in anything more than 3 days out. They cant get tomorrow's forecast right most of the time.

          I figure the game will be worth going to if only as an event. Yeah, the views will suck. But if I know my fellow Badger hockey fans, it'll be a barrel of fun regardless.

          In other news: Brian Elliott continues to impress in the NHL, getting his 6th straight win against the Penguins. To me its significant because while reading the recap, I saw Elliott say this:

          "We did a good job keeping everything on the outside," Elliott said. "I was able to cover up some rebounds and guys were right there on top of the crease swiping rebounds away that I didn't get to. It's really comforting as a goalie back there when guys are playing that well in front of you."
          And that sounded REALLY familiar.

            Pavs scores 2 in losing effort last night. Pavelski's second goal comes on Heatley's assist for his 600th career point.


            You know I don't know why Pavelski chose to play hockey as he's an awesome golfer. And obviously golfers get all the chicks.

              Tiger Woods certainly proves that, even if he had to pay for some of them...

                I (almost) beat Pav's on a hole last summer at his golf outing.

                  "almost" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

                    I'm getting worried; only about 41,000 sold so far. I know there will be a walk-up crowd, but that place will look empty even with 50,000 in attendance. (Kind of like football games in the late 80's, but 50,000 would be pushing it.)

                      UW could look real bad if there are gobs of empty seats.

                        Sorry...I posted this in the UMD vs Wisconsin thread as well, just trying to cover my bases.

                          Don't know if they don't want it on here or they've mentioned it and I missed it, so apologies if I step on any toes here, but the Badger blog Sixty Minutes. No Alibis. No Regrets. was featured on Yahoo Hockey Blog "Puck Daddy" today.
