Congratulations Gordon. Your energy toward teaching and dedication to business law will be missed in the graduate programs at UW-Madison. Best wishes. Inquiring minds want to know: Did we get a first round draft pick, or just some pitching prospects and a left-fielder past his prime and embroiled in the steroids controversy?

Wow, Gordon - congratulations. You're moving to as beautiful a state as there is. But you're taking a terrible hit in college sports excellence. I can only assume that the other compensations more than make up for it.

Congratulations Gordon!

Congrats Gordon.

We know that you like Culver's better than Kopps, but remember that Kopps will mail custard in dry ice. If you ever get homesick for custard. . . . Congratulations, again!

Gordon, Congratulations to you and your family. You have been a great example to a lot of young faculty (on several dimensions). I am glad to see desirable opportunities come your way. Bill H.

Congratulations and best wishes!

Congratulations, Gordon. I second David Zaring's thoughts on the hit you'll take in college sports excellence. Having said that it seems to me that BYU and WI's sports teams both reached their zenith while you were at each respective school. Perhaps a BYU sports renaissance is forthcoming?

Happy Trails, Short Timer! (With blessings come ribbings, you know.) May your roots be stronger at BYU, and may you and your family find what it is you're looking for there.

Congratulations Gordon! You'll be missed at Wisconsin, but I have no doubt you'll be well anticipated in Utah.

Gordon,

Congratulations.

You know good and well that Utah doesn't look like that all the time. In winter, it's filled with white powder.

Could you look up my son when you get there and tell him to wind up his undergraduate education?

Gordon,

This is wonderful news (for me). It will be great to have you in the neighborhood. Congratulations.

Congratulations! I enjoyed learning from you through interactions with the Fed Soc, in Biz Orgs, and in Law & E'ship. This is a happy day for BYU, and a sad day for UWLS. It will be very difficult for the administration to fill your shoes. Best of Luck!

Gordon: Fantastic! I look forward to having you as a colleague across campus!

Thanks for all of the kind words.

I was drawn here from the photo in Jeff Lipshaw's post at Legal Profession Blog. As a newly-minted law professor, I look forward to joining the AALS Fly Fishing section!

Wow. It's a sad day for the UW, but it sounds like a great move for you and your family. I was lucky to take both of your Biz Orgs courses, both of which have already paid dividends in my fledgling career. You touched a lot of people at UWLS, notably anyone who was fortunate enough to hear your commencement address this past spring.

Best of luck out in Provo.

Congratulations on the terrific news!

Congratulations. We'll still know where to find you in the blogosphere regardless of where you are on terra firma.

geez, doesn't anyone ever stay in Madison (III)?

Congratulations!

Congrats!!! But does this mean that you won't be doing cheese blogging any more?

Kudos. BYU is very lucky to land you.

Can I come skiing? I'll sleep on the couch.

I just found out about this today. While it sounds like a great opportunity for you, I can also tell you that you will be missed. Best of luck to you!

It was good to meet you today, and I wish you the best of luck with your decision to move to Utah. I loved Utah when I was there from 1979-1981 woring for Kenecott Copper Co.

Regards - Lynn
