What's the most likely first round upset in Hockey East?

The seemingly endless construction zone known as the Ohio Turnpike. One lane, barriers on both sides, sandwiched by 18-wheelers ahead and behind you...

The only saving grace is the 75 mph limit when you're clear of all that.

"Hey, kid! Not supposed to be here."



Gluttons for pain, I see. Enjoy the scenic drive though Ohio and Indiana.

Still disappointed they moved the college football HOF. That was actually pretty cool.

Well, with only some slight detours, you could hit the Basketball, Soccer, Baseball and Football HOF's driving from Boston to Indiana. And Hockey and Tennis are not that far off the path either.

That's because there's people here.

Bison and elk don't pay for their sports fix.

Don't know if you've ever been but South Bend is a pretty miserable place.

The campus is gorgeous but once you step outside of it...

Yes, the town is garbage. Found that out a couple weeks ago. Going back for moar. But they have two Culver's so that makes things nicer.

I'm told the $10 tour of the stadium is worth it for the true sports fan

I found South Bend pretty depressing considering all the $$ around ND

Went to a BC/ND football game a couple of years ago, no need to ever go back

The block on Eddy St between Angela and Napoleon is nice, it's a shorter, modern, and less hippie version of Church St in Burlington VT. Besides that, yeah, not much worth seeing not on campus.

My next door neighbor went to Notre Dame and he said South Bend is godawful. They rented a place off of someone right near campus for a football game visit and were informed by their host not to walk down to the corner at night due to the high level of drug dealing and associated violence going on over there.

Recently? ND has done a pretty good job at buying up property and keeping the area just around campus clean enough. Definitely want to lock your doors. And probably have an alarm system. And close your blinds.

True story. Took the senior trip out to ND in an RV with the roomates/friends back in the fall 2000. Stayed/hung out at the place of a cousin of someone in our group. Not far off campus. We walk out the door the first afternoon we get there and a brother is walking down the street, sees us leave the house across the street and crosses the street and bolts right onto this porch asking us for money.

Didn't expect that. Surprised he didn't pull a knife or gun on us. Ghetto.

Sounds "Detroitesque". Maybe the NCAA can hold the national championship there sometime...
