As one of the few individuals lucky enough (or unlucky enough, sometimes I wonder) to have ESPN2 on my cable system (don't ask me why we got it. My system is screwed up, anyway. We've had ESPN2 for about a year and just got News McNuggets [Headline News] 2 weeks ago. Go figure.), The Deuce has been covering AHL games (or IHL, I can never remember which) in lieu of the NHL games that were scheduled this weekend. Since ESPN itself wasn't scheduled to cover an NHL game until last night, I'm not sure what they are planning to replace postponed NHL games with. Does college hockey have a shot? On The Deuce, maybe. I doubt it on Big Daddy. For me, anything beats Prime (especially since I'm too cheap to fork over $9.95 for PASS) so don't expect me to complain if ESPN or Baby ESPN picks it up. G. M. Finniss Michigan State University WVU '87, UTenn '92, MSU (biiiiiiiiiiiiig game this weekend) who the hell knows when? BTW, MSU hockey tickets went on sale this week to students (NO LOTTERY, PLEASE!)with the usual restrictions. Ticket prices have now increased to $5/game and the season is broken into 2 8-game series. Of course, the ever-intelligent MSU ticket office decided to leave off the student package any game that occurs when students are out-of-town. The winner this year: the Jan. 6 game against Ferris State. I wonder when they're going to learn not to leave games off the student package against teams whose fans can easily drive to East Lansing to buy tickets that would have gone to students. (Last year, BTW, was Western Michigan, who beat us 2-0 at Munn.) Last December, it seemed like there were more Western fans than Spartan fans in Munn. Can't we get somebody like OSU or UIC during breaks?
