Someone should so make a sign for Friday that says "GO LAR Rivermen!"

I have to start using that along with St, Clooud, #26 Union, {PROVICED, Clogate, Pricetom, and Paint Thinner Nation.

U!M!L!AR Rivermen!

I had the same thought. If I'm paying $60 for a ticket to 3 games, I intend to watch 3 games.

I agree. I too intend to watch all 3. Maybe not all of the first.

The timing of the gathering in Bridgeport is weird. I'll be at the arena watching the first game by 4:00pm..

This is great news.

River Hawk Student Bus Trip UMass Lowell's Division of Student Affairs is sponsoring a bus trip for interested students to Bridgeport on Friday afternoon. Tickets are just $20 and include an All-Session Pass and a seat on the bus. The bus will leave Fox Hall promptly at 2:00 p.m. and will return to Lowell following Friday's game.

If the River Hawks reach the Regional Final on Saturday, a bus will leave Fox Hall again at 2:00 p.m. for those students who have purchased a ticket. Please note that if the River Hawks fall short of Saturday's final, transportation from Lowell will not be provided.

Space is limited and students must purchase their ticket in person at the Tsongas Center Box Office by Wednesday at 5:00PM. Valid ID must be shown upon purchase. One ticket per ID.

CODE BLUE UMass Lowell head coach Norm Bazin is asking all fans to wear BLUE this weekend in a show of solidarity for the River Hawks as they take on the Miami RedHawks on Friday night.

UMass Lowell Pre-Game Headquarters All fans headed to the game are encouraged to join us at the Barnum Publick House in downtown Bridgeport beginning at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, March 23. The Office of University Advancement will provide complimentary appetizers and the first 100 fans to arrive will receive a Blue Fan Group t-shirt, courtesy of Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union.

The Barnum Publick House is located just three blocks from the Webster Bank Arena.

But I'll be there before 4.

A Boston based hockey reporter picking UML to go to FF?! Was that a pig I just saw fly by my window? Hey we'll take it thanks Jim! If we can get by Miami I'll really like our chances. Union's schedule is way too weak to be a #1 seed imo.

We're less than 70 posts from having a third season thread ... a record!

Chaz with a look back at '94, I hadn't realized that Bazin was ready to leave the team.

Re: UML 2011-2012 Thread: Part II

Some tweet's from the HE Coach's press conference today by Scott McLaughlin:

Bazin said there was a lot of rest during the week off from games, mostly because there was a bug running through the team.

Bazin said he's planning on Riley Wetmore playing.

Bazin said UML will have fan buses going to Bridgeport. Band and mascot going, too.

Seeing brackets popping up everywhere that expect us out after Miami.

Anyway, today's TMQ:

Jim: I think that the East Regional bracket in Bridgeport, Conn., might be the softest of brackets. Most people I’ve seen are picking Union there, but I think that this should be Miami’s region to lose. They will play a Massachusetts-Lowell team with zero NCAA experience and then face the winner of Union and Michigan State, a team that barely backed into the tournament. And yes, I’m realistic to the fact that all four of these clubs are solid but I believe there are few people out there who believe the national champion will come from this region.

But then he goes on to say:

OK, one last chance to put you on the spot. Who is your final four? I’ll be fair and start with mine: I have BC, Massachusetts-Lowell, North Dakota and Michigan. I think Lowell is really my only upset pick but I just feel that bracket is wide open.

Aww... They fixed it. Just as I was getting Stockholm Syndromed into liking it.

Yeah... Our athletic department sent a few emails.

No need for the freshman qualifier, it applies across the board

Yeah, just noticed it. Coworker here knows someone at ESPN and inquired about it. I'd also sent a nastygram about it as did others I suspect.
