Thanks Carol for digging up the address for complaints about the
lack of tv coverage for this stage of the hockey playoffs. I really
think people should let them know that we care. This year's format
could be a good setup if it got a little more coverage.
On a local news broadcast tonight, the sportscaster said that the
station had met all the monetary requirements to broadcast the
UW-SLU on Saturday. However, the NCAA decided to stick by their
blackout rule so there will be no tv coverage here in Madison.
I understand that the people out in Providence have to be worried
about the lack of attendance at the games there. However I doubt
if televising the game with so little notice in Wisc is going to
hurt their walk-up ticket sales.

I heard these results from Detroit (not positive about the actual scores):
Northern Michigan 8 Clarkson 4
Lake Superior 7 Alaska-Anchorage 3

Mike M. writes about Providence:
>Attendance was a disappointing 5,327, about 40% of capacity. Ice was brutal.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Why was the ice so bad? I also heard that it was very humid, i.e. Derksen
said that he was getting dehydrated during the game.

I don't get this one---am I completely out of touch.

(honorable mention: Domenic "Rock Me" Amodeo)

What varied musical tastes!
How about Chris "half" Nelson, Wis or Blaine "it on Rio" Moore, Wis.
