Were you even alive when this song was popular??

I think for best results we have to be Terrier, Big Red, Wolverine, and Goof-er fans tonight....good Lord, I think I may have to go to confession this week.

Hopefully the Hawks stay on the east coast.

Harvard 2-0 over Cornell, 7:00 minutes to go in the first.

I guess I really am turning 40 this year as I loved that song back in the day!

Are we really in? I'm guessing a BU win tonight would help?

Here's the geekery on this... the winner of the WCHA will be in the top 10 of pairwise, the winner of Hockey East will be in the top 10 of pairwise. The only realistic way to get to PWR=13 or PWR=14 was if Providence because a team under consideration... that ONLY occurs if Providence wins Hockey East as their RPI>=.5 in that case. Since those things didn't happen UML is highly unlikely (that is to say, I don't know enough) to finish with a PWR of 13 and they can't end at 14... and since at most 3 teams will come outside of the top 13 UMass-Lowell has clinched a NCAA tournament slot.

I'm not going to go through the things to figure out if there is an out. I'd have a hard time believing there is one.

The rest is seeding... we no longer care if Cornell wins... in fact, we don't want that to happen. WMU losing tomorrow would help. Maine losing would help. Avoiding the bottom would be nice to avoid some of the big teams as a #4 seed.

As for location... still pretty random... and that won't be clear until some of the early Saturday returns (if there are any). Speculation as to where and who we'll play is just that.

Congrats boys... backdoor as it is, you've earned it.

Well that's done ... 4-2 BC.

According to the CHN Pairwise Blogs, apparently we can start celebrating!

Friday, 7:35 p.m. (ET) … Boston College beats Providence 4-2. This doesn’t really do anything except solidify BC as the top overall seed and eliminate another potential upset champion. Only Bowling Green and Harvard are left to potentially steal a bid, meaning everyone 13th or higher is safe. Miami, BU and UMass-Lowell are now mathematical locks to make the field.

BTW, Lowell and Maine have now dropped to a tie for 11th in the PWR.

Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

4-2 with 5 minutes left with BC up.

PC going on the PP down by 1. BC letting PC hang around.

UMD loses... only result left for the early hour is the big one (my understanding is that Miami is down a ton).

Western 6-2 with 6 minutes to go. A lot of penalties on Miami

DU wins....

Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

Actually the game I'm watching closely is UMD/DU. Need a Bulldog win and is going to 2OT. Comcast Channel 263 in Lowell.

I've been watching it as well... I think the more important result is Union... but a UMD win would be helpful.

edit: this is about when I wish picture in picture worked

It's amazing that game is still going, both teams have had some unbelievable chances in OT.
