    before introducing myself that way)  (those of you who weren't

12. thanks to heather for liking my headband so much (another "you had

13. thanks to the nc$$ for scheduling opposite the basketball NOT
14. thanks to whomever for the ticket scalping NOT (it really bothered
    me to see and hear so much news of people not coming to milwaukee
    because no tickets were available, to see first hand that tickets
    for the championship were being sold at over double the face value,
    and to see empty seats at all 3 games
15. thanks to brian ricci for his officiating NOT  (the incident that
    really got me going was when he "called" and then, after learning
    that Shephard had another delayed penalty called against LSSU,
    changed his mind and refused to assess a penalty that would have
    given BU a 5 on 3 advantage in the second period)
16. thanks to the nc$$ for the abundance of souveniers that didn't say
    nc$$ on them NOT
