Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol. XXVI: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Tolerate The BTHC

I don't know Degenhardt personally. I only know the heart and grit he showed on that '06 title team. But I'm happy to know that he has a great wife/family and a supportive team/organization behind him. With that help and that kind of determination, he can make a lot out of a rough (even if it is manageable) situation.

Best wishes for Degs.

Longtime lurker and Badger Hockey fan, and I saw this on Facebook and figured you guys may enjoy since I hadn't seen anything posted. Story about former Badger AJ Degenhardt and battling MS.

Thanks for the link as well. Tough story. I would just point out that although MS is not definitively hereditary as the article states, there is definitely a genetic component (it tends to run in families) in addition to an environmental one. I ride in that 150-mile BikeMS ride every year as well. MS runs in my family and it is what I work on in the lab.

Wishing all the best to A.J. Degenhardt. That line he played on in with Nick Licari and Andy Brandt in 2005-06 is one of the most underrated lines in Badgers history. They didn't see the most minutes as a fourth line, but they were tone-setters in many contests that season en route to the natty title.

That line was HUGE (yes, even Licari) and a joy to watch.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol. XXVI: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Tolerate The BTHC

I loved that line and Licari remains one of my personal all time favorites to watch.

The Athletic Dept just sent out another e-mail blast for season tickets.

I'll give them credit for the obvious desperation. This is no less than the third e-mail I've received about season tickets this off-season. It might be time for me to reply. Do I just reply to the general tickets@uwbadgers.com or should I also be a complete jerk and copy Frazier on it?

I got a four-pack last year, then realized they didn't discount the four-pack ticket prices at all. Basically they just bundled them together to make it quicker to order. I had been thinking about getting a couple season tickets for the first time ever. Let's see, $200 x 2, plus $25 x 2 for a 'contribution', plus at least $20 per game in food/concessions, plus questionable parking (I refuse to pay for the outrageously expensive UW lots and my normal free lot was apparently discovered by others last year), plus the schedule sucks (IMO). And now lately with the bidding of the concessions contract, security, band, etc. It all adds up to a big, fat no.

Capobianco has been tweeting 'Y season tix?' alot. I responded with as many reasons as I could squeeze into 140 characters:
"Y not: parking $; privatized concessions=higher $; no UND,DU; NMU, UAH again; band's diminished use; harrassment by 'security'"

I have not received a reply.

I keep getting the emails (I buy UMN @ UW tickets thru them every year) and have replied a couple times asking to be taken off the mailing list and I got no response and keep getting the emails. So, I don't think that is the right email address to reply to.

I got mailed an order form addressed to me and the hockey club my son plays for (we did the between periods mighty mites when he was 6 and 8 which is now coming p on 3 years ago). Problem is, I am already a season ticketholder and despite much soul searching...I have sent in the renewal.

I don't think it's unique to UW. I got emails from UMN for years after moving to Milwaukee even after emailing to let them know I've moved.

I enjoy going to the Gophers @ Badgers series as they are always a great time, and I actually thought about getting a Badgers season ticket package this year as I miss going to college hockey games every weekend and my wife is a Badger fan. Decided to take a few vacations instead. Maybe next season :)

That's really strange. With other sports teams, "flex plans" are a great medium for people who aren't sure they want to commit to a whole season (or half season, really) of tickets. What's also strange is that all single-game tickets are priced at $24 or $20, rather than having a normal ticket pricing system. Late in the season, students can buy single game tickets in assigned seating next to the student section for 12 bucks, but that's the only discount I'm aware of besides season tickets.
 
Anybody have a general idea of when some Badgers, and who, will be taken in the draft tomorrow? If I remember correctly, it won't be until the late rounds and I remember Besse being mentioned, but the other name(s) escape me. Thanks in advance.

Besse and Soleway.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol. XXVI: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Tolerate The BTHC

The Anaheim Ducks have selected Grant Besse with the 26th pick of the 5th round, 147th overall.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol. XXVI: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Tolerate The BTHC

...and the Phoenix Coyotes have selected Jedd Soleway with the 12th pick of the 7th round (193rd overall).
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol. XXVI: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Tolerate The BTHC

McBain traded to the Sabres during the draft.
