    That was also a year with great attendance and the Lambeau game for revenue (which was high for both programs). What the hell was costing them so much money those years?

    BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!

    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."

    Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

      Think is has anything to do with having to switch the Kohl Center over from hockey to basketball and vice a versa various times throughout the season?

      USCHO gives me another reason to not do work while I am at work.

        Did the coaches have bonus clauses that kicked in with a national championship win?

          Possible. I'm not sure what the costs would be for that (do they use regular maintenance personnel for it, compared to contractors, etc), but one would imagine that the number of changeovers each season doesn't vary too wildly. They would still be a cost that Minny doesn't have.

          I do wonder if practice facilities are an issue. Currently, the men's team practices in an off-campus, non-university owned facility. That lease agreement may have changed, I don't know too many details. It is part of why UW is building the La Bahn facility next to the Kohl Center. In addition to having women's games there, the men will practice there as well.

            I think Northwestern all the way. Just a hunch, but Chicago supports teams at about every other level.

                Are you just being intentionally thick? He was obviously referring to the B1G hockey conference, not the Big Ten over all.

                          Wasn't there some Kohl Center work done right around that same time? Or maybe some UW Athletics work done somewhere? I have a crap memory but I remember something going on right around that same time..
