I just wanted to take a chance to publicly thank G.M. Finniss for his
hard work handling the tournament contest.  And to the originator of
college hockey's battling mascot pool selecting, thank you as well.

I just wanted to point out one more interesting note.  Both Mike and I
work in the WTBU Sports Department.  WTBU 89.3 FM & 640 AM does the
student radio broadcasts of Terriers hockey.  We made our picks
separately and this time the General Manager and former Sports Director
beat out the Sports Director.  But we wouldn't be in the limelight if it
weren't for the fact that our school happened to be the one of the
44 to make it all the way.
