And it is Otis Redding singing the Star Spangled Banner!

...

What a performance!!

Well, I'll be back after the first twenty minutes are in the books, as the puck is about to be dropped by a CCHA officiating crew.

First period in the books. Pretty back and forth game, and both goalies managed to keep the opposition off the board. At least until the final minutes, when Jim Wiste scored on the powerplay for the Pioneers to give Denver a 1-0 lead through 20 minutes of play.

Second period is in the books. North Dakota pushed to get the equalizer, but Denver played a real strong period to keep the Sioux off the board. About midway through the second, Denver capitalized on an aggressive Sioux squad, as Tom Gilmore scored on a breakaway to give Denver a 2-0 advantage. That's the score after two periods of play.

See if I ever eat at the Campus Lounge again!

Well, the third period has ended. North Dakota made a comeback, but was it enough?

I figured as much, and I was being a bit playful in my comment as well.

Hey! There's no "playful" in hockey. This is some serious excrement in this thread!

A Commodore-Magnuson skirmish would have been a blast!

Re: Top 100 Greatest Teams of the NCAA era Tournament

Well, I was apparently over-ambitious in how many games I could get done this weekend. I won't be able to get another game done today, so the '01 BC - '84 BGSU game and '56 Clarkson - '88 LSSU game will get pushed back.

Here will be the proposed schedule next weekend...

Thursday:
Northeast Regional: #16 - 1955-1956 Clarkson vs. #49 - 1987-1988 LSSU
Midwest Regional: #20 - 2000-2001 BC vs. #45 - 1983-1984 BGSU

Friday:
East Regional: #26 - 1994-1995 BU vs. #39 - 1994-1995 Maine
West Regional: #3 - 1960-1961 DU vs. #62 - 2001-2002 UNH

Saturday:
Northeast Regional: #25 - 1970-1971 BU vs. #40 - 1984-1985 Duluth
Midwest Regional: #4 - 1986-1987 UND vs. #61 - 2003-2004 Maine

Sunday:
East Regional: #10 - 1997-1998 Michigan State vs. #74 2009-2010 Miami
West Regional: #22 - 1955-1956 Michigan vs. #86 - 1974-1975 Michigan Tech

Obviously, I'll do my best to get these games done as scheduled, but no guarantee.

Are you sure #10 rated is MSU, and not 1997-98 Michigan?

That would have been pretty tough for him to do since he died on December 10th, 1967.

Re: Top 100 Greatest Teams of the NCAA era Tournament

The National Anthem part is fun, too.

It will be interesting to see who gets slotted into which spot.

Are you rotating through different genres, picking the tops from each one?

E.g.,

Motown:
Diana Ross, Gladys Night, etc.

Rock:
Jimi Hendrix, The Who, etc.

Country:
Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, etc.

Opera:
Renee Fleming, Placido Domingo, etc.


Superstars beyond a mere category:
Michael Jackson, The Beatles, etc.

Yes. They certainly surprised me at #10, but they had quite the season that year. The Spartans dominated the '98 Wolverines that season, beating them 4 times. Of course, like many Michigan State teams of that era, they failed when it counted the most, falling to Ohio State in Ann Arbor.

Like I said before, people have a knack of coming back from the dead to participate in this tournament in any way possible.

Are all of Clarkson's players going to be eligible?
