I'm holding a press conference later today to announce my intentions.

My point is you can make several arguments when looking at the t-shirts. I did purchase a western regional shirt in Grand Forks. While not real fond of the interlocking ND logo, it wasn't like the other logos looked out of place with it on the shirt: UND - interlocking ND Michigan - blue M Minnesota - brown M Holy Cross - interlocking HC Now look at the Frozen Four t-shirts: Wisconsin - flying W Maine - black bear Boston College - BC logo w/eagle on it ND - Sioux logo All of the Frozen Four "logos" include some symbol (along with letters in BC's case) except Wisconsin. I'm concurring that I wouldn't buy anything without the Sioux logo on it, but I'm not convinced it's an NCAA conspiracy this time around. Don't get me started on last year's merchandise, however. I still have some of the plastic cups around my place. You know, the ones where the logos of Minnesota, Denver, and Colorado College are in full color and North Dakota's Sioux logo is black and white.

No, but look out Goldy for that #11 seed William and Mary. On ESPN's gymnastics bracketology show last night, Dick Vitale said there were some real diaper dandies and PTP'ers on that squad.

Good news posted this morning, though, on gophersports.com. Gopher Men's Gymnastics Team Qualifies for NCAA Tournament

In all seriousness, I was a bit surprised that Ryan Potulny wasn't selected as a finalist for the Hobey Baker award. If he and Danny Irmen both go on to good NHL careers, I say good for them. It's unfortunate, though, that college hockey continues to become the new feeder system for the NHL. It's become as bad as college basketball in that respect.

Or maybe something like this: University of Minnesota Golden Gophers: 0-3 in the past five years in meaningless games

Hey Rushmore88, I like your signature line (as posted below): Go Gophers! University of Minnesota Golden Gophers' record against UND at the new Ralph Engelstad Arena: 6-3 I think you need to tweak it a bit, though. How about something like this? University of Minnesota Golden Gophers' record against Holy Cross at the new REA: 0-1

I met Coop last year in Columbus, OH. I can't remember exactly where he lives, but it's not too far from there if memory serves me right.

You must have me mistaken with someone else, redwing77. Tell you what, next time you're at Chuck E Cheese in Burnsville Center, I'll spot you 5 free tokens.

Wisconsin's logo isn't Bucky in any of the items either, it's the 'flying' W.

I'm always good for adding a new jersey to my collection. One purple jersey, #19, size 48 please.

I don't get ESPNU, unfortunately. My money says the Gophers in a cake-walk tonite, 8-2.

When did Marty Sertich play for the Gophers?

Yea, get on that, would you?

I'm not worthy...I'm not worthy...I'm not worthy...

Man, first Holy Cross, then Wisconsin women, and now this. Good things always come in threes.

We have one here, Sioux-cia! The Red Wings visit at least twice a year!

Get on Zephyr to make a nice purple chopper hat, would ya? Zephyr Hats

That's funny, I was thinking the same for UW against Maine! It took 'em long enough against the Cornell Big (and Slow) Red.

At least I wasn't wearing a Sponge Bob costume.

Well I'll be damned...I DO look a bit like Howie.

Can you record that whole game on DVD for me?

Sorry, it's not every day that I know when I was on TV. Sometime just after 4-2 Sioux over HC.

How about some good fan shots? Oh, and the Holy Cross game-winner against Minnesota.

While we're on the subject of hockey players, has anyone heard anything about some hot-shot from Wisconsin who is supposedly going to the 'U' next season? Kessel somebody-or-other...
