Get rid of the armpit stains on the white and green jerseys and you might have a winner.

While this move makes logistical sense in terms of proximity to other Big East schools, I hope UConn can put hockey on the map at a school where basketball is king (and queen).

I seriously can't believe all the talk about rhyming state name and school name. The North Dakota Nokota. You gotta be kidding me.

So is our current president, unfortunately. Let's gack back on topic, please.

I'll see your 1987 backwards and raise you a 1983 going backwards as Michigan State won the title in 1986 and Bowling Green won it in 1984.

I saw BC play several times this season and they put a whoopin' on every single team. I knew they would be trouble come NCAA time. What were you watching? I thought they were outstanding.

It's George Bush's fault that North Dakota didn't win the NCAA hockey title.

That 3rd goal was a work of art. Certainly it should have topped any NBA dunk on ESPN's Top 10.

I know that schools like Union College and RIT are small in numbers but I don't think it is any less exciting seeing someone new in the Frozen Four. Did you see the Ferris State players yesterday after the empty net goal? I personally think that the more exposure that college hockey gets, the better.

I got an earful from my Gopher fan friends about Mario's actions during the regional championship game last week. I thought he should have been shown the gate. Last night's were just as bad, only this time, a penalty got called. 8 minutes left in a 6-1 game and you want to goon it up? Nice.

Yikes. Black pit stains need to go...and that jersey definitely needs a number!

That sounds typical of Cardinal...cue Dark Starr singing "Oh Canada" about North Dakota hockey players on FSN...and Jeff Dubay turning red-faced when discussing the Sioux...

I concur 100%. Union College made it all the way to the Frozen Four with a roster made up primarily of freshman and sophomores. Oh, and not a single scholarship player. It can be done.

I think Mike Guentzel is a far better choice for the Mankato opening.

As much as I hate Boston College and those ugly new faux-back third jerseys...you're right. BC won the title in 1949...and didn't make a championship game appearance again until 1998. That's 49 years between title game appearances. It's incredible what Jerry York has done during his tenure there.

I think BU gets its fair share of players too. After that, it's up-for-grabs.

Actually, it was Denver in the late 50's and 60's who had a run comparable to Michigan and BC...From 1958 to 1969, Denver was in 7 championship games (58, 60, 61, 63, 64, 68, 69) and won 5 of them (losing in 63 and 64).

I hope you're talking about the 1970's because every era since then has had a pretty good mix of conferences winning championships. The 2000 - 2006 stretch was a great run for the WCHA (titles for four different schools in 00, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06) but Hockey East is looking at having won 4 of the last 5 NCAA titles should Boston College win on Saturday night.

Any more down than the 2008 Frozen Four when BC put a 6-1 smack-down on the Sioux in the semi-finals and then beat Notre Dame 4-1 in the title game? Or maybe more than the 2010 Frozen Four when BC beat RIT 8-1 in the semi-finals and crushed Wisconsin 5-0 in the championship? Maybe it's just that BC is THAT good.

The easiest way to tell replica vs authentic is the shoulder patches. On replica jerseys, the shoulder patches are "iron-on" and not nearly as thick as an authentic jersey. I do understand what you are saying, though. The number on the front is now likely something that will have to be added when you customize your jersey, which will now result in four sets of numbers (front, shoulders, and back) being added as opposed to three sets in past years.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Are you telling me that there might be cheating going on in Alabama, home of MTV's Two-A-Days and Hoover High School's program run amuck? Say it ain't so, Joe, say it ain't so! http://www.usatoday.com/sports/preps/2007-07-29-hoover-investigation_N.htm

Unbelievable. I apologize for the mistake. Ohio State played Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl. Nonetheless, here's an article about the NCAA's decision to allow players to play using the "it's the BCS, not us" argument... http://msn.foxsports...analysis-010411 And multiple sources didn't buy the whole "Cam didn't know" argument either... http://msn.foxsports...colleges-110910 But since you brought up Oregon, heck, let's look at their issues too... http://sports.yahoo.com/news/oregon-ducks-football-latest-facing-alleged-ncaa-violations-215600792.html
