From today's Wisconsin State Journal:
 
     ESPN has contacted UW officials about televising the finals of the
     Badger Hockey Showdown on Dec 29th.  According to the UW, it is not
     likely unless the game sells out.  Right now they are about 3,000
     tickets short.  Every year in the past, it has been a sell out.
 
     For those of you who don't know who's playing, it will be Bowling
     Green, Northeastern, Lake Superior State and the UW.
