Well, I'll admit that being an RPI fan, I always root for the Engineers,
even when they are losing the game.  In the case of playoffs, I usually
root for the team that I am most familiar with, therefore it is usually
an ECAC team.  However, if my Mom is with me, she picks one and I pick
the other and that's how we do it...no animosity is shown between teams.
 
And for those who care, I would love to see a college hockey game.  Ya
know, the least the NC$$ could do is have NC$$ hockey and hoop tourneys
a week or so apart.  The only thing I'm going to get to see is basket-
ball, espcially since IU is playing.  (I can't complain too much, in th
office pool I got UNC, Ohio St., IU, and Duke).  Anyway, my only hope
for college hockey is if PRIME sports network carries it, or if it's
shown on tape delay at our local sports bar.
 
For those of you interested in what to do in Albany during the Phinal Phour,
there are several college age bars off Madison Ave.  If you follow Madison
up towards Albany Med, and pass Washington Park (on the right), you will se
S. Lake Ave.  Turn right on S. Lake and go up a block or so, until you get
to Washington.  There will be a bar on the corner.  If you go left on Wash,
there are 2-3 more bars about 2-3 blocks down.  One is WT's (Washington
Tavern) and they have good beer and great wings.  Have fun.
