I imagine that it is from the Pioneer Press, but I do not consider this a
"True-blue reward" as a Western rip-off reward. I am still mad from two years
ago that the NCAA or Providence or whomever made NCAA frozen-four applications
available at the Eastern Regional but not at the Western Regional. Those from
the West did not have equal opportunity at the very limited number of tickets
at the paltry-small Providence arena. So to reward those who have attended
only "the past five Frozen Fours" (I assume consecutively is included here) is
to encourage the underhanded dealings that took place two years ago.

Do I hold a grudge? No. At least I got tickets for Albany. I've been surprised
at the number of people who seem not to have won a lottery for the tickets.
