About the TV ads. They cast a VERY sad shadow on college hockey, because advertisers pay to have their ads shown on TV, and the amount they pay is based upon the viewing audience. The set of TV ads during the regionals was at best the late-night (after midnight!) type of ads - the ones that show up just before the national anthem and test pattern. No one better (liquid bath soap for men, strong and absorbent paper towels, etc.) cared about us. We are small fish in a big pond. So we either better stick together or be very feisty. In fact, I am thinking of buying three cat claw scratchers and hope you all do the same thing so that the advertising industry think we are very important (high Q-rating or whatever it is advertisers want). I just hope ESPN made enough money this year to continue picking up all the regional games. It was nice to have all the games on one channel.
