Just call me chief critiquer of the subject lines: Merrimack thoroughly
deserved thier series win over BU by hustling and doing what it took to
get the wins.  Ron Anderson and the team should be proud of their
acheivement but I wouldn't go so far as to say they "thrashed" BU.  That
aside I wish them luck at the Fleece Centre.  It would be great for Ron
Anderson to get an NC$$ berth as a result of winning the title.  I'll be
cheering them on from a distance.  An additional wrinkle, of course, is
that my second favourite team is whoever is playing BC :-)
