Hmm, a holiday tournament at Denver, eh? I actually like some of Keith's suggestions (I've been on this list too long), but it seems in this day and age, you really can't have a hockey tournament without a corporate sponsor. It occurs to me that the Coors brewery is rather close to Denver, so how about... Nah, scratch that. The NCAA would never go for it. As for first-round pairings, I'd suggest Air Force vs. Army and Denver vs. Notre Dame. There's no real reason, except that I suspect Air Force-Army would be a good matchup. I'm interested to see how this tournament turns out... -- Bill Fenwick Cornell '86 and probably '94 LET'S GO RED!! "Tips for Gals: 13 Common First-Date Warning Signs That a Guy Might Be a Jerk: "6.
