    The page dedicated to the men's program was something else. Here's the gist.

    "We still play hockey here!"

    "People pay to see the games!"

    "We're young!"

      I saw BA is squeezing the Volleyball alum to finance a new locker room for them. It isn't like UW isn't flush with FB and BB money. Reminds me of when he squeezed hockey alum for Labahn, then cheaped it out. What a cheap BAsstard.

        20+ wins or Eaves should get the can. No excuses this time. Do or die. I think the younger forwards from last year will take a big step. Really want to see how much Cameron Hughes has come along. Not quite sure how to judge the incoming freshman as you can't really rely on them for much because they have to adjust to a higher level. Dmen are just a bunch of "meh" to me. The new goaltender will be interesting to watch; he put up some pretty good numbers last year.

          He does have clout, but the hockey program isn't his day-to-day priority, raising money in giant piles for various athletic related projects is. What that means is that he doesn't personally care about the hockey program unless someone MAKES him care. It's clear that the fans have not been able to make him care and the assistant AD Jason King who is in charge of the hockey programs either has not made him care, has been brainwashed by Eaves, arrogantly thinks he can fix the program or will be caught in the fall out and blamed for the disastrous state that hockey is in.

          The problems in the ADept go deeper than just Alvarez, when no one cares passionately about the program, the result is lowered standards, rot from within and a 4-win season.

          It can be argued that they are just taking their cues from the man at the top, regardless someone needs to put on some big-boy pants, step up, and realize that the neglectful apathy is absolutely destroying this once proud program both in its reputation in the hockey world and with its rapidly shrinking ticket buying fanbase.

            Great encapsulation. And...it makes me very sad to understand this is the new normal at UW. I have a chance to meet Barry next week...unfortunately I will not be able to make the event, ugh. He really needs to hear from the fans, although empty seats may be enough of a statement

                I have another engagement that night and Mrs. Solo would crazy murder me if I told her I have skip that to go to the **** to see Mr. Alvarez (and Ron Dayne apparently) and inform him that the hockey fanbase is beyond despondent at and disillusioned with the state of the program.

                      I'll go in your place! I'll tell him I'm solovsfett on USCHO and rip him a new *******!

                      Now that the Badger football season has officially started, are you getting fired up for Badger hockey? Personally, I am not. As much as I love football, hockey is my favorite sport. I sucked at it; I was probably the final guy who made the cut annually. I couldn't adjust from playing football to hockey with the flip of a calendar; that stoked my fire. While I can't wait for Center Ice programming to kick in, I've got to say the Badger hockey season to me means very little this year. I NEVER missed game on the radio or in person. Now.................

                        that would be awesome if someone from this board could go to the event and bend his ear a bit.

                        Hockey is my favorite sport (by just a hair over open wheel racing, and miles above football) but I honestly feel no anticipation for the coming season either for Wisconsin, nor for the NHL at the moment (the Blackhawks are my team and I'm bummed about Kane being such a scumbag). And normally I'm curious about the frosh and to see what strides the sophs and juniors have taken but now?

                        I honestly can't see myself tuning into more than 2-3 games this season. That's how far and how quickly my interest level has dropped.
