      Well Badger Bob stole Gary Suter from Wisconsin after his sophomore
year.  Pro coaches will try to take whoever they need.  It still remains
up to the player to make the choice.  Can't really blame em for going
for the money and the chance to play in the big leagues.  But it sure
spoils a fan's high hopes for the next season.
