Wisconsin Offseason '10: The Aftermath

Next time I'll be sure to have you proofread my response. :rolleyes:
A winning record against Denver means just that: a winning record against the top-ranked team in the country.
I agree that losing in the national championship game isnt a goal for any team, but at least the Badgers were in the game, not watching it at home on TV like the rodents were.

Far be it from me to agree with a Gopher fan, but getting to the title game and losing it(badly) means just a little more than not making the tourney at all. Sorry, but our boys failed in the end.

At Wisconsin, and at Minnesota and UND for that matter, we only count National Titles.

I don't feel any more pride about last season than I do any time we didn't win it all. Don't confuse this for not being proud of the program, of which I am. Gotta win it all though to be counted amongst our great teams.

I know that this won't work in our favor (as compared to our hated rivals), but I would think that Frozen Fours count as well. Perhaps more as a consolation prize or a tie-breaker, but it still means something to me.

I disagree, there is a lot to be proud of as a Badger fan last season despite the final game's result. First Hobey Baker winner to an outstanding captain in Blake Geoffrion, makes last season a hell of a lot better than the 3 before it when the end result was the same: not a national championship.

At the raw end, yes the only meaningful goal is the National Championship, but I certainly don't equate seasons equally based upon JUST that result.

I just don't think there's a whole lot for us to rub in the Gopher fans faces. Yes, last season was more enjoyable than some, but I just think we're beyond regular season results, personal awards and final placement as fodder for bragging rights when talking to peer programs.

We're at the adult table.

Now if we were Mankato, we'd definitely be rubbing the same results in SCSU's face.

I would never tell you that it shouldn't mean something to you.

To me, it's another NCAA appearance. One where we won at least two games. If there were 64(65) teams like basketball, I guess that I personally would think more of it.

And like many UND fans that seem to hang their hat on not winning it all but, "We did more than UM during the regular season" the past few years. At least, "7" made a small bit of sense.

Better than bottom half WCHA and no post season is indeed a lofty goal.

Same here. Obviously winning in the ultimate goal, but Id rathar my team make it to the FF and lose than to not make it that far at all.

I don't see a winky emoticon; I hope you don't think a Badger fan actually posted that. If you DO, well.......
