Congrats to Scott.

I'm sure his Grandfather, Badger Bob Johnson, (who made more contributions to American Hockey than anyone who ever lived) is proudly looking down from the big hockey bench in the sky and saying "That's MY Grandson."

Bravo.

Are you saying that Badger Bob made more of a contribution to American hockey than LetsGoDU?

Congrats to Scott. Its great to see him carrying on the family legacy helping hockey players develop into fine athletes and leaders on and off the ice.

If you are still doing this blog in 40 more years, then we'll have an apples-to-apples to evaluate LGDU vs The Badger.

Just think, you'll be about 80 then, and we'll be coming up on CC's 100th year without an NCAA title.
