    That's exactly what I recall as well. I'm not bothered to look up where I saw it, but I do remember that being the main reason.

    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."

      Actually, I think the Detroit Beer Co. is the official site, with Cheli's an "unofficial" one at best. Quite frankly, I'm indifferent between giving my beer and food $ to a stranger or an extremely passive alumnus.

        Chalk it up to having a bad temper. At least, these days I have a much longer fuse. Can't say I've ever resorted to violence, but given the situation, I can see how it could happen. Not saying he was right, and I think that he got what he deserved in getting kicked off the team.
        Wisconsin Hockey is life... Everything else is just filler.

          Based purely on food and beverage quality, Detroit Beer Co. is the better choice. Granted, it's been a while since I've been out drinking in Detroit, so take my opinion for what it's worth...

                Yes. It's worth at least a pint of Detroit Red.

                  I think it's pretty crappy that Baggot chose to disclose further details on the Thurber situation a few days before the FF. He should have disclosed the details much nearer to the event, waited until after the FF, or not said anything at all.

                  Something to me just doesn't add up. Choking and a physical threat of tossing someone out a 6th story window only gets misdemeanors? In Madison? I wonder if Baggot made the incident sound more serious in the article than it really was.

                  It sounds to me like Eaves acted more appropriately than the Madion Fuzz did.

                    MPD has a long, proud tradition of being pretty lenient on students. It often borders on absurd.

                      Kluby is doing very well playing for a team in Stockholm in the Swedish Elite hockey league.

                        I talked to Kluby's dad a few weeks ago; Kyle's really enjoying it! Gotta love those Euro jerseys. They look like NASCAR with shoulder pads.

                        Well, in honor of this weekend, I did it this morning. After over 10 years with my "van dyke", (which is really a goatee with a 'stache), I shaved everything off below the corners of my mouth....Holy 1970's Batman and I've got a little double chin! I left before MrsMCR saw me, so I can't wait to see the expression!

                        She might like the smooth chin, eh?

                        After scaring myself in the mirror, it WILL be growing back immediately.

                        EDIT: While typing, I was listening to Brain Posick who had an interview with goalie Julian Baretta. He was a typical "quirky" 'tender. The discussion was mostly about the '76-'77 NC team....33 years ago, WOW! The power play that year was 39%. Baretta has had a very successful off-ice career, too.

                          Stockholm is a amazing city. Here is an interview about how his season has gone.

                            Julian Baretta was awesome. I'd like to see Goody skate backwards into the net the last two games.

                            Btw- Did he mention if he still has that cockatoo- Fred? Or why he had that nutty chick whacked???

                              I don't think we seriously considered him either.
