Barry Alvarez told the WSJ that he will NOT fire Mike Eaves.
That's a shame.

And the preacher said, you know you always have the Lord by your side
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord

Here's the scene: BA gets into the limo after dining with some bb boosters and asks his travelling secretary what the men's hockey team's record is. She says "4 26 and 5". He says "Am I crazy, or is that a lot of of losses?" She says "THAT'S A LOT OF LOSSES!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"UW athletic director Barry Alvarez said he’s "very comfortable’’ in saying Eaves will return for his 14th season as coach "if he chooses to be back.’’"
So BA has opened the door for Eaves to fall on his own sword. He did that to the old volleyball coach Pete Waite. (and the change provided spectacular results)
"“I’ve decided to resign from my position to allow someone else the opportunity to take this program back to the top of the Big Ten,” said Waite. “We have some very good players in the program right now and have signed three excellent recruits for 2013."
It's not an impossible scenario. The question is this: Is Eaves' ego still enough intact to keep the sword in the sheath or not?

It'd be nice for the rest of the conf if UW stopped sucking balls sometime soon.
They won't. And I'm officially done. Any loose plans I had to try to get tickets to a game or two next year are gone. My support of UW hockey is now limited to this board, and the games that I can get around to watching live on TV (which I won't be DVRing anymore, because it's not worth staying up late to support this program, and in all honesty I'm not going to make a special effort to not have other things to do on the 10 nights a year I actually can find their games on my TV).
This administration has shown time and again how little it cares for my support of the team, and the time has come to be done.

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."
you mean roasts some popcorn over the flames and sits back and enjoys a snack while watching the flames...
