Re: Wisconsin Hockey - 2018 Off-Season - Hope or Despair?
To all of the above responses:
no, not in the athletic department ( I don't see how offering specifics about the success of the football program vs the hockey program would be read as "pro-administration")
no, don't necessarily agree with stated opinions from others
yes, will engage in debate about those opinions
We are in the dead time for the UW hockey team, need to do something to pass the time; about 60% of what I say is based in what I think/believe and about 40% is said just to keep a conversation moving. If you don't want to continue the conversation, that's up to you and I hold no ill will towards anyone for what they do/don't say.
If someone tosses out an "I'd like to see the numbers" kind of comment, I may take the time to find those numbers; I'm kind of a nerd that way. If they don't like those numbers and try to discredit them by changing the context of the numbers, then I'll look at those numbers in a new context and offer a follow-up (see previous comment about being a nerd).
I love UW hockey (have had season tickets since I moved to Madison about 7 years ago), I also love UW football (don't care for games at Camp Randall, but try to watch games on TV), and basketball (try to watch the games on TV), and most things UW.
I'm never going to be the "doom and gloom" guy, that's just not my personality.
Some of the people here are never going to be the "glass half full" people, that just isn't their personality.
I think there is room for both types to exist in the same space.
Have a great day everyone!
