    "Lost" as in they were committed to UND and then switched, or "lost" as in they happen to be from Grand Forks?

      Yeah... Boesser and gopher titles... really cheering us up, there burd. Bet you're a real hit at funerals.


      Not that it matters but I think Grant has two gopher rings and Ryan came in the year after. Also seems like I remember Ryan having a ton of goals while not winning a title playing with Kessel in '06. Heh... Kessel... '06... Actually, I do feel better now.

      On the Potulny's who's really ahead in the long run anyway? Sure, you guys didn't win a title, but those two guys have to go through their whole lives being from Grand Forks.

        The fact they escaped living in GF for the rest of their lives means the brothers won.

          Parise, you Badger fans are so high maintenance. Try the UND way--just strap em on and get in a fight with someone. That usually puts the world right again.

            No time for that, the boys are studying for exams.

            Oh... I know this might seem very odd in Grand Forks, but at UW they've decided that 120 credits in recreational ice fishing and wagon wheel repair apparently will not constitute a degree. Plus, it seems the boys actually have to take their exams themselves, these days.

            Whole thing's become rather a bore, if you ask me... speaking of which, that just sounds like a good way to spill my iced mocha on my new topsiders.

              They better be studying, because they sure don't have a future playing hockey.

                That remains to be seen, but they'll be ok either way. They are all taking a masters course in corporate raiding. Currently they're covering how to infiltrate a successful concern and drive down it's value to historic lows. (making it vulnerable to hostile takeover) I believe Barry is teaching it.

                    Seems like you're trying to say Mike Eaves was one heck of a hockey player.

                      Just curious, how much does Barry make? Is he really getting over a million?

                          Barry will make $1.01 million this year in salary and is under contract until 2018. $500k comes from UW athletics, the rest from gift funds from the UW foundation. He is in the top 10 in AD pay nationally and top three in the B1G. (with OSU, Nebraska being very similar). Vanderbilt's David Wiliams is #1 at $3.3 million, although he is vice chancellor as well.

                          In Barry's defense, I suppose you could argue that despite the issues with Hockey, as a group, the 23 sports at UW have done fairly well overall during his tenure. Or at the very least, UW athletics is generating a lot of money, ranking #2 in the nation in revenue at over $100 million.

                            based on one of the rumors on the board previously that they didn't want to fire eaves because they were looking for a football and basketball coach (true or not, just rumors in one of the previous two threads this was covered) Makes me think barry and co. could use it as an excuse to keep MM around for a little while longer.

                              Since it is a public institution, you can see all employees salaries (not sure where you get the "gift funds" information from). Here is a link to a searchable database: http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/loc...a4bcf887a.html

                              This shows Barry at $500k, Eaves at $236k, Bo Ryan at $400k. Direct link to Madison Athletics salaries over $200k: http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/loc...rrentPageSize=
