God, you're right.  I do care.  I care that there is more parity in college
hockey and that teams like BU and Minnesota are not there.  I see BU all
the time and, if they deserved to be there, they would be.  But they were
awful this year.  As far as Minnesota, I could never stand their
all-Minnesota thing, and now that they're suffering because of it, I do
care.   I am glad they are not in it and won't be for a while.  You are
right - I DO CARE.
 
And, BTW, you obviously don't know me or read my posts because I am very
comfortable with the fact that other teams may be better than UNH.  It has
been the case, most of the time, for oh these many years.  Now that we have
a measure of respectability, I just like to make sure that people realize
it.  That's all.
 
But, I do care.
