If WE are hosting, why would Tampa get the goods?
It's not as prestigious of an event & there are more obvious reasons (no snow) but Wisconsin hosts a winter golf invitational at the courses in my subdivision.

I think the main issue that it's pretty clear the Bradley Center/Milwaukee in general want no part of it. There is some risk since the way the NCAA sets it up, you have to guarantee xx $$$ to them. That's usually not as much of an issue for the frozen four as it is for regionals since so many people make the frozen four an annual trip regardless of whether their team is involved. However, it is still a risk, and even though I think a lot of attendees who go annually enjoy Milwaukee due to so many bars/restaurants being close, it was clear the local chamber of commerce/Bradley center did nothing to help with this during the 2006 event (I was living on Brady Street at the time, and virtually no Bars/restaurants - even on Water street, were even aware it was going on during the semi-final games). They probably only see the risk/are really clueless about college hockey in general.
By contrast, the Tampa sporting commission (whatever they call themselves)/chamber of commerce have been all over getting these kinds of events (Super Bowl, bouncy regionals for both men and women, VBall final four, annual women's softball tournament in spring, to go with Bowl games and professional events). They make a big deal of publicizing them locally/catering to fans, and probably would have found another school to partner with (maybe even another B1G ten school) if we wouldn't have wanted to.

no press, no banners around the city. Even with Wisconsin in the FF it did nothing to increase local coverage and there may as well have been a badminton tournament there for all the awareness Milwaukee a had of that FF.Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

I can safely say that if UM or UW was in the FF and it was at the KC, no one would be complaining it's too big.

Apropos of nothing here but this is the only (and terrible) site I look at for badger talk so rant...
**** Nigel Hayes. What a backstabbing ***** this guy turned out to be. I hope he’s not invited to any badger reunions or events going forward.
Tyler Herro would have been great at UW or ANY school and Hayes encourages Herro NOT to attend UW? What a dbag.Everything in its right place, Wisconsin Hockey National Champs!

I'll have to research the Hayes thing...I haven't heard anything.
Todd M has his personal Top 20 NCAA ranking out. Of course, no UW the past 4 of 6 years. Is that considered a trend? ఠ_ఠ
Nothing but respect, but even Sol's Sun Devils are #10. Who's on top? The usual.... The NoDak Fighting Whozits who impressively just continue to reload decade after decade. Such a great program.

I like this team. A lot. Maty DSPh will have an immediate impact. He will probably have more impact than Turotte had last year. Stange is a great addition as well. Both are well rounded impact players. The goaltending deal is a complete re-do. My concern is the coaching there. Holloway is going to lead the B17 is scoring, ok maybe he finishes 2nd to C Caufield. The D Corp is experienced, and there's some Fr there who may push people a bit. There also may be some addition by subtraction there as well in the D and in the team's attitude overall.

Originally posted by WiscTJK View PostI like your confidence, but until this team wins consistently under Granato and Osiecki, I will remain pessimistic. 6 games under .500 with the roster they had last year is unacceptable. And as you mentioned the tender situation is a complete mess.
I just hope there was a team chemistry reset with the extra departures and new additions.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!
