This does not surprise me. Lots of backlash and an easy fix means they do that easy fix.

Perhaps. But how often has common sense driven the actions of the UW athletic department lately, particularly with regard to hockey?

Well, at least they had the sense to respond correctly to the negative reaction to a very VERY bad decision and cave in.

I'm currently in line at the Make Bo Pay/Shooting Down Cancer event. The two basketball banners are up, but the hockey championship banners don't appear to be in the rafters.

Edit: 3 banners. 2 big ones with post-season and conference stuff, and the one 1941 banner.

Immediately.


We're counting on you.

Speculation, but maybe they decided to split the difference and only have the banners up depending on which sport is using the space at the time? If so, that seems fair enough?

So was Gary's pic a rouse?

What's wrong with having them all up at the same time? It works at most pro venues (yes, the ceiling is a little smaller than most major pro arenas, but not by much). It advertises basketball at hockey games and hockey at basketball games, and celebrates the history of these teams!

Besides, even after 2 seasons of being a basketball season ticket holder, this venue still feels weird in the basketball configuration. Even weirder with no hockey banners.

Forgot to take a pic, but did you see they started putting conference title years on the upper deck fascade? They only have two years up so far but they looked kind of cool.

Yup. I still maintain that coliseum-style banners are what belong up there.
 
If anyone is looking for video of the games this weekend, it looks like you can do a monthly subscription at ulive.cbssports.net for $17.95 and get BOTH games this weekend. It also looks like games will be available on demand. You will also have the ability to pause and rewind, which will come in handy for tomorrow night's game during the football game.

They just said on the radio that Rumpel did not make the trip, he was injured in practice yesterday, so Peterson will get both starts.

EDIT: He was actually injured on Tuesday.

I'm glad this game isn't on TV.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol. XXVI: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Tolerate The BTHC

Running clock with a 6 goal differential, right?

Nice showing Bucky. :rolleyes:


I'm really sick of BC btw.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol. XXVI: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Tolerate The BTHC

As I said in the UW vs BC/BU thread - that was impressively bad.

I was at the volleyball game with the live blog for the hockey games on my phone. Bucky came over, and I asked how he was doing. He indicated he was doing well...

"I assume you haven't seen the men's hockey score."
[Signals no.]
"They're losing 7-1"
[Bucky facepalm, points at my "SIEVE" shirt]
"Yeah, I guess Peterson was a little porous*"
[Tears run down his face, more facepalms]

...Volleyball lost in 3 sets. Let's hope the various Badgers fare better for the remainder of the weekend.
