    Of course! Hockey is the bastard stepchild of the revenue sports. Part of the problem is that the program is succeeding in spite of the practice arraignments. If football or bouncyball was in a similar situation their would be a massive outcry that the program could not compete under such as massive disadvantage.

      Barry wanting hockey alum to pitch in and row the boat is crazy. WI has had great success in having guys play at the NHL level, but even so, if 1 to 2 guys a year makes it to the bigs, most of them aren't going to make a ton of money. A few are/will like Heater, but 99% of UW hockey alum aren't in the NHL, they are out of hockey with regular jobs, kids to put through college ect. Guys like Hussey, Snedden, Toumie, Daveyduke, Kuk, Nelson (you know the names) aren't going to be able to foot the bill for this. Other guys toiling in the ECHL or Europe and places like that don't make crap for money. It's for the love of the game they are atill trying to make it work. Barry probably has enough money coming to him in pay, benefits and retirement funds he could pay for the whole **** thing himself. Arshole. Arswipe.

      And from a practicle standpoint, now is the time to build. I work in the commercial construction world. Prices are down 10-20% on building supplies with everyone so desperate for work. I was marking up projects 18% 2 years ago and we had a huge backlog. Now I am marking up projects 8% and I'm getting slaughtered and have very little backlog. If they wait and build in 2 years, they'll add at least 15% to the cost of the project vs if they broke ground today, assuming the economy improves, which I think it is to a certain extent from what I'm seeing. So this delay is going to cost them more money in the long run.

      Hockey makes money for UW, and building this facility is protecting the long term health of the program.

      This is ****ed up on many fronts. Barry is the village idoit.

        Thank you to those that have offered such quick advice. I think we'll probably already be getting internet through Charter, that's what made me wonder about just doing one cable box through them too, it can't be that much more since if I don't do a Charter box in that room I'd just be doing another DTV box anyways. I suppose I'll wait until next season to consider it though, since by the time we move this one will be over. The Versus issue still irks me though. I plan on getting the Center Ice package next year, but for the games that are shown on Versus, are they blacked out then on the Center Ice package I assume? Or do you at least get one of the feeds still? I'd really hate to switch to DirecTV next month when we move, just in time for the NHL playoffs, and have to miss the entire first and second rounds because of the Versus issue...

        Anyways, sorry for taking the thread off topic.....ON WISCONSIN!
        If you do satellite, go Dish vs DirectTV. I switched in December but had both services for a few weeks. The quality of picture of Dish is much better then Directv. I was surprised and happy.

          I would give the exact opposite advice. In the past Dish has failed to broadcast college hockey games that were on the air on Fox Sports channels. If you had DirecTV, you had the game. If you had Dish, you were screwed. Just saying. I took a financial hit to dump Dish and move back to DirecTV, and I've never regretted it.

            Maybe the hockey team can practice at the new Union South?

                    In all fairness, the vast majority of the other buildings being put up on campus are academic buildings. Most of these receive funding from our large research funding and other donors. I think it is only fair to judge athletic buildings with other athletic buildings or other funding ventures of the athletic department.

                      Indeed. UW's Athletic Department is self-sustaining, and it should remain that way.

                      What's frustrating is that this is clearly the number one priority, and in these economic times when fundraising is hard, Barry seems to be burning bridges rather than building them.

                      It's also worth noting that this would be a big boost for the swimming teams. Knowing a couple of former swimmers, they sure could use the upgrades.

                          There's a lot of overlap with the NHL 10 soundtrack. Maybe take a look there?
