January 30th, 1982: The Water Bottle Incident

To really understand this one, we first need to set the table; as was covered yesterday, NoDak and Wisconsin are at the top of college hockey and the rivalry has never been more bitter. The Sioux had a reputation for being a mean, physical bunch, and they used it to their advantage. The venue for this brawl, the Dane County Coliseum, was widely regarded at the time as one of the wildest environments with some of the rowdiest fans in college puck. The fans sat almost on top of the benches, and they weren't shy.

With the Badgers up 3-0, NoDak forward Cary Eades skated past the Wisconsin bench when Badger John Newberry squirted him in the face with a water bottle (the second time that night he did it to Eades). Eades promptly entered the UW bench to "chat" with Newberry where he was met with a punch from Pat Eithier that set off a powder keg. They fought in the benches, on the ice and in the stands. At one point, a Sioux player and Badger rolled into the Beer Garden where a UW band member dumped a pitcher of beer into the NoDak player's face.

The fight set a WCHA record for the number of suspensions arising from one incident. A scuffle that perfectly embodies how these teams feel about eachother, it's one you really just need to watch (and listen to) to appreciate:

@312SportsChi @dan_bernstein I get it. I’m 60 and in the last 8 months I started to enjoy watching sports again. Rather than click though I have started to watch larger chunks of games if not entire games.

Like your body maybe you renew after 7 or more years. I was disinterested for a long time. I’m back

Jamie Raskin shows Kash Patel videos of all the podcasts he's been on for the last several years, where he repeatedly claims Epstein's black book is under the direct control of the FBI Director.

This is the cover-up you get when you put a podcaster in charge.

@dekker Try him at closer. 1 inning. Just in case Trevor M can’t go and A Uribe falters

@North2North @PeteHegseth @USArmy No one was killed not a capital crime

@OTBaseballPhoto That’s why he and Bob Ucker were great friends.

The Favre to Sharpe last minute, game winning TD pass in the 1993 playoffs still pains me deeply after 30+ years.

@czabe As play callers they get lost in the play sheet and forget the clock. Make the assistant Special Teams coach the “clock czar”.

This is the single best thing I've read about our politcal economics & how voters are consistently wrong about a subject they've never studied.

Judith Love Cohen was an American aerospace engineer who helped create the Abort-Guidance System that rescued the Apollo 13 astronauts.

When she went into labor, she went to work.

She took a printout of a problem she was working on to the hospital. She called her boss and said she finished the problem and gave birth to Jack Black.

Bigger than any buzzer-beater, title game, tournament run, etc. This moment tops them all. God bless this man and his family.
