The Laughs Continue As Badgers Look For Allies

Turns out that LetsGoDU isn't the only one having a few laughs while the Cheeseheads run around looking for allies in the "Last Second Goal Controversy." Our friends at Inside College Hockey.com featured the debate on their "Found On A Cocktail Napkin" segment this week.

11 Reasons Officials Disallowed Wisconsin's Apparent Tying Goal Against Denver on Friday

• Replay guy didn't want to miss red-eye flight to Cabo for weekend getaway with Jessica Simpson.

• Hoped to hurry out of Magness Arena to rush down to the Pepsi Center to try to get Carmelo Anthony's autograph.

• Referee later admitted he was only looking to see if Brett Hull's foot was in the crease.

• After a conference, officials declared, "It'd be a shame to send all these nice Denver folks home unhappy."

• Instead of capturing final moments of the game, replay tape was rolling on a "Cheers" rerun.

• Thought game clock ran up from zero like it does in international hockey.

• Officiating crew left copies of "Watching TV For Dummies" in the back of the seat in front of them during their flight.

• Remembering that Cornell game from a few years ago, ref figured if he let Wisconsin go to OT, he'd be there all night.

• Obscure Druid holiday that started at sundown Friday and ended at sundown Saturday required officials to end games in 60 minutes "or be smote posthaste to an eternity of refereeing 7 a.m. mite games in an unheated rink."

• Ref told Badgers, "Maybe this will teach you to try harder at the beginning instead of waiting until the final moments."

• "I'm not actually sure of the rule on this one, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night."
