Hey there in list land...

I thought I would share with you what my students think will happen in the tourney.  Just so you know, none of these students have a clue about hockey.  They picked based on who they liked and probably records.  My students are mainly from low-income families or in foster homes in an east-central Minnesota county (about half way between Duluth & Twin Cities).  About 30% are Ojibwe and play (dare I say) basketball (shudder).  But here are the results, take them how you will.

Game 1:  
    80% Boston College 
    20% Mercyhurst

Game 2:
    65% North Dakota
    35% Boston University

The very existence of flame throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." - George Carlin
