Wisconsin Hockey 22-23 Empty Dreams & Empty Seats

This news that Bally Sports is near bankruptcy could really put a kink in the ability to watch the Badgers. https://twitter.com/ClayTravis/statu...53551327244289

Hole keeps getting deeper.

Hole keeps getting deeper.

Oh my. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.

While Madison.com has left UW hockey for dead, JSOnline has a reporter covering the men's and women's team, Mark Stewart. I encourage everyone to follow him and like/retweet his work to show JSOnline we are indeed interested in his work. @MarkStewartMJS. He is also covering wrestling and women's bb as well.

Via twitter, Jim Polzin says Madison.com has posted the bb job opening and Todd is handling that beat until it gets filled. No timetable to fill it, but it has to be a highly sought after job for any up and comer. So there is hope that hockey coverage MAY get back to normal at some point, though I am doubtful or why wouldn't the sports editor just told us that right away weeks ago. Unless they were trying to sneak this by hockey fans or maybe even UW, but they were called out on it. I'd bet the AD called them out.

It kind of sucks these men's games are on Peacock. At least you can watch the women play on btn plus if you want to.

What a dog **** 5 minute major call.

I was surprised to find these games on Peacock (and not BTN+). I do have Peacock so I can watch Tour De France....... Is it on Peacock because it is at ND?

Yep. Recent experience with the Gophers would indicate Peacock has some kind of deal with Irish hockey.

ND has an exclusive TV contract with NBC.

Swept by probably the second or third worst team in the big 7. It’s over and the end has to be coming soon for the Granato era.

Fire Gard. Carry on.

Lets see.......$10.75/month for Badgers only broadcasts on BTN+ or $4.99/month for perhaps all B1G content on Peacock........................................... ...............

(I know that is not going to happen, but...........................)

Todd did respond on Twitter that he's going back to hockey once the bb spot is filled, though the lack of interest is concerning. Well Todd, hopefully there's a lot of interest and news in a few months. Hang in there buddy.

Just popping in to say it’s sad to see what you guys are talking about. My old man was a season ticket holder from the mid 70s until about 2012. He doesn’t even watch the games anymore when they are on. Neither do I. And Badger hockey was LIFE for me for the first 30 years of my life. Need lots of heads to fall, but I’m not optimistic it’ll happen.

Nice to hear from you, old friend. Your story is typical of many fans. Jason King did respond to a poster and told us to hang in there. There is a slim possibility of hope.

Milewski said there’s a lack of interest? From who? The former fans? The Athletic Department (obviously). ??? I’d like to hear more.
