There is an update on all of the polls.  I do apologize for last week.
Well, I WAS going to have a special feature today, but I will wait until
tommorrow.  Tommorrow, I will have a special on Coaches in the WCHA who
should step down or be forced out.  There are a few coaches that should
get the boot and I'll tell you why tommorrow.  Until then, later everyone!
