I would certainly like to see Minnesota and Boston College meet in the first
round, if only to assure a Maroon & Gold matchup. :^) The Gophers and Eagles
have similar styles, and it is always entertaining to watch them play.

that you got your degree.  Congratulations!  There may be hope for me yet.
