If Seeler is playing for the Wild next year you and I will be playing defense for the Blackhawks against him.

Truth be told, the largest national sport story right now is: LeBron unfollows the Cavaliers on Twitter. Game.

Hey, that's 300 more than the Big Ten quarters round ....

Mentioning on air "talent", who were those buffoons for the UND game last night? The play by play guy had "UMass" playing "Lowell" in OT last night. And it seemed like he'd maybe done three hockey games before this weekend. The color guy? He sounded like he was 10 years old and had just gotten his maize and blue t-shirt and official membership card to the Junior Woofies club. He only acknowledged UND was in the game, much less dominating large chunks, after UND went up late.

And it's already announced that Bucci and Melrose will be the on-air talent in Tampa. I may need to buy the economy pack of Clorox wipes for all the BC spoogin' they'll be doing all over my television.

Condolences to the family. Hockey lost a good one.

Hawks. Claw. ... Baron von Mascot!

You're a week ahead.

The Baron von Raschke. The claw.

Only the heathen NCAA would have games being played on Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday. What's worse? There's a dead weekend next weekend before Tampa. This year they should've moved the regionals back a week (no dead week before Frozen Four). I suspect Sunday attendance may suffer greatly for those sites.

Two guys rolling around on the floor groping each other and trying to dominate, or as I like to call it, the average movie rental by Johnboy.

Dear Heidi, As you live in constant fear and are sent scurrying under a desk at the mere sight of ROTC cadets with *fake* weapons, allow me to have you living in constant terror for the rest of your unmeaningful existence. From now on, when you see someone go for their cell phone, please, please, recall this: http://www.idealconceal.com Have a nice life under that desk. I'm guessing 911 will soon be unlisted for you. Signed, Someone laughing at your failed self-aggrandizement PS - 14:57 14:58 14:59 15:00 Yup, Heidi, your fifteen minutes of fame are up. Buh-bye. PPS - Keep cowering every time you see someone reach for a cell phone.

OK, that ... and getting to smirk at PCM still to this day because I called the upset the day the brackets came out. < still patting self on back now >

The part I remember most: Watching the Holy Cross bench in the second and third periods when they started to realize the 11000-throated giant in the rink was on their side that day. I'm pretty sure a couple guys on the HC bench "filled their breezers" when HC tied it in the third, not because they tied it, but because they literally flinched and ducked when the crowd roared in response. They were spooked by the sound! It was hilarious. I wish there was footage of just that.

You missed one or two: Restoration of lost fan interest Annual anticipation for ____ to come to town Some won't admit it, but the energy in the UMn and UWi programs right now just isn't what it was.

Hey, I'm just looking out for CC. Let ASU have the NCHC 8-hole for a while.

You're high .... numerically, not chemically.

Don will be sitting with Mike Eaves doing intermission analysis in the BTN studios by then.

I agree with you, but to see USCHO make a reasonable (I stopped short of compelling) argument for UND to the Big Ten is noteworthy.

For those of you still in need of convincing, let me repost one phrase from the USCHO story: North Dakota would be a coup for the Big Ten ... Yes, that says that North Dakota would be a "a notable or successful stroke or move" should the Big Ten get the Fighting Sio Hawks. Never thought I'd see USCHO say some thing that nice about North Dakota.

The Seattle PD Twitter feed on this is pretty funny as is #ManInTree Seattle Police Dept. ‏@SeattlePD Mar 22 .@heyjessibrown There will likely be traffic impacts in the area, but issue appears to be between the man and the tree. (Emphasis added.) It's all comic gold.

Folks, if the Big Ten calls, you answer. The jump by Notre Dame affirms that. Notre. Dame. Jumped. Notre Dame left Hockey East for Big Ten Hockey. Get it? Now, if the Big Ten goes to eight, who? Omaha? UN-Lincoln won't go for that, even as their surrogate. Denver? Miami? Folks, USCHO broke the "Notre Dame to Big Ten" story. I guess that tells me they have insights worth listening to, such as ...

Notre Dame fills barns in Ann Arbor, East Lansing, Happy Valley, and Columbus. What in the west is the best hope to fill Minnesota's and Wisconsin's not at capacity arenas? There's one answer and USCHO says it above. Arizona State can have UND's slot in the NCHC (and I'm pretty sure DU and CC wouldn't be all that upset). If the Big Ten calls, you answer. *Mich, Mich St, Ohio St, Penn St

The list is called "Google".

You just failed "Coach-speak".

Go to the hard places and battle.
