I didn't see the Denver-Wisconsin game so I'm not going to protect Sean Hill
in what he did here. However I went to a high school that was in the same
conference as Hill's and I saw several of his games. I did not think he was
a "hack" at all and I think a lot of people from Duluth would agree with me.
A lot of the U. of Wisconsin's players are from Minnesota and I think that
causes a lot of resentment amoungst Minnesotans, especially since they have
just won a national championship with players the Minnesota schools couldn't
get. But back to Hill, I hope what happened here wasn't "with the intent to
injure". If it was the player and the team should be punished accordingly.
