Erik, Paula and I were talking about that at the Gopher State Hockey Festival
(an off-season hockey fix/opportunity to scout future Gophers) last weekend.
Our theory is that the Denver job, being in a big media market, might come with
some bigger perks, like media contracts similar to Doug Woog's radio shows (I
think he did about 5 per week!) and TV show.  "Prime" as in "Prime Sports
Network" (with whom Denver has a TV contract) might be the operative word here.
Just a theory.
