    Ticket prices expected to rise next year. Baggot doesn't mention hockey though.

      Just got the e-mail from Barry Alvarez announcing the football ticket price increase. In the letter, Barry says the Athletic Department has made several events available free, including: "Earlier this month we made the Stanley Cup and numerous Hockey Hall of Fame exhibits and games available for free at the Culver’s Camp Randall Hockey Classic.”

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t you need to have purchased a game ticket to see the Stanley Cup?

      Is it possible that VW is Barry Alvarez?

        There's a simple solution to NOT raising ticket prices. Let's make ladies bouncy ball & hockey revenue generating sports, or at least have them spend ONLY what they bring in.

          I realize you're joking, but you could apply that to men's soccer, track etc.

          Football, Basketball & Hockey pay the bills.

          Ticket prices will go up over time and as long as it's incremental and reasonable, I don't have a problem with it. Nobody is forced to buy tickets.

          As a footnote, Barry is a tool and has always been a tool. I certainly appreciate what he did for the football program and the resulting trickle down, but he's still a tool.

          I credit Richter as much(or more) as Barry.

            Absolutely, and many others as well. Agree on all points.

              I would think that this would be unfair to the Euros as their balance may be thrown off without all those stickers on their helmets.

                Pavelski and Kessel are skating on the same line.

                  Yep, I've wondered that many times...I even asked Phil about it last year. He just shrugged and wrinkled his face. Pavs & Suter are having a good game; Rafalski doing OK, too. I'd like to see a Suter to Kessel to JoPa score.

                  Re: Pierre McQuire, what the frick is he doing on American TV? He rarely says anything positive about Team USA. ("Lackadaisical", "Not finishing", etc.) If you've ever heard him on CBC he cannot be more anti-USA hockey. He's the biggest tool in the box; even Canucks don't like him. Embrassez mon âne, Pierre.

                    Hockey ticket prices are going to stay the same, only the football ticket prices are going up.

                      The No. 3 Wisconsin men's hockey coach Mike Eaves made his weekly appearance at Monday's press conference. In it, he discussed last weekend's sweep of the Minnesota State Mavericks and this weekend's home series against the No. 4 St. Cloud State Huskies. The Badgers currently stand at third-place in the WCHA, and they trail the Huskies by two points. This is the Wisconsin's final regular season series at the Kohl Center this season. Both games are slated to begin at 7 p.m.

                        So what, UW would have beaten BC by 3 instead of one?

                            At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

                              Agreed. I love what Barry did with the football team, but he DOES NOT deserve the amount of money he is getting paid. Richter totally revamped the athletic department in the 90's with great hirings.(Alvarez, Stu Jackson, Dick Bennett, Bo Ryan, Eaves). Before Richter arrived the ath. dept was at the very bottom of the Big Ten in total revenue. Today, Wisconsin is number 5 in the entire nation in revenue. That's a mind boggling turn around and a whole lot of that has to do with Richter's critical decisions. What exactly has Barry done besides hiring Bielema to deserve getting paid $250,000 more than what Richter did at his peak? Alvarez has asked and received a $50,000 raise 3 out of 5 years he's been an AD yet he's been penny pinching a number of programs in order to save money. I don't get it.

                                Non-hockey, but does Barry have the guts to pink slip anyone? Might be time for the softball coach to go. Stone could be gone too if she can't make the dance.
