Other than parents of the hockey players, there will be nobody in the stands for the weekend.
than it normally does, it still feels like it is sneaking up on us.
Wisconsin was not a good team last year. We were 2-2 against them and they had a losing record against 4 of the other 5 teams in the league.
We started out great last season. Then we played some good teams and had the only 6 game losing streak in Jeff Jackson's entire coaching history. Then finished the year off in completely forgettable mediocrity.
Hopefully this year's low expectations -- we're figured to be a mid-pack Big Ten team -- lead to a surprising finish.
Last year was fitting for 2020. I want to forget all about it.
