Some thoughts: 1) Michigan dominated. The outcome was apparent after the first 5 minutes. 2) The crowd was overly partisan in michigan's favor. It sounded, over the TV, that the crowd was about 75% pro-michigan. There were a LOT of students there, because I heard all of the regular chants (included a lot of the "choice" words after penalties that are assessed against the other team. I didn't even hear those at the joe for LSSU vs. UM, and I never hear them at non-student games at Yost. Since I heard it over the TV, there must have been a lot of students. (: ) 3) when is the NCAA going to lower prices? Obviously $72 or whatever is way too much for a whole package, esp. with a day inbetween the semis and the finals. They should sell single season tickets. The # of empty seats was embarrasing. 4) GO BLUE!!! THis is the year. 4 years of season tickets will finally bring me happiness... Now I can move onto med school (In cincy, w/o a hockey team (except for the cyclones)) with happiness.
