Off topic but how do you post gifs? Every time I try it reverts to a link with asterisks around it.

And Go Friars.

No images or gifs allowed here, officially, BUT if you know code, there are ways around it. I don't know code.

I don't know much code either. I just had help from sympathetic people.

I don't feel SCSU needs to defend themselves for making it, but we did have much more wiggle room playing the 2nd toughest schedule in the country. We also beat every single team we faced, and went 11-13-0 against the top ten in the PWR. Its not even like we were the last team in, we are a 3 seed.

I was disappointed not to see SCSU jump UMD for #1 in SOS. But they ended up playing #1 Mankato and St. Cloud had the someone disappointing Colgate and Union series that became less and less useful for SOS as the season moved along.

It's not only not "generally accepted," it's not a word.

Yes, it is. Just because it is uncommon does not mean it is not a word.

My school missed by .0002, and I can't think of anyone to scapegoat. Suggestions?

Clearly it was Obama's fault.

The B1G got screwed.
EVERYBODY knows they are superior to everybody else in every conceivable way.
Each year's field OUGHT to include:
1. Each of the B1G (6)
2. Winners of the 'other' conference auto-bids (5)
3. At-large bids (5)

That is how you maximize TV audience.

North Dakota got screwed the most of any team. Just by making the tournament they were forced to go to Fargo. Anyone who's been to Fargo knows what a terrible place it is. First the NCAA makes UND drop their nickname and now they make UND to go to Fargo? That's just cruel and unusual punishment.

could be worse, ever been to worcester?

My team got screwed, but it was in the penultimate RS game and it didn't matter a bit.

So basically my team probably got screwed less any anybody else this season.

Was going to post this in the NE Regional discussion but since this is the official whining thread....

After all the BS concern about attendance could the NCAA make this any less fan friendly? $55 per seat, 2PM start so I can't get a half day of work in, gotta pull my kids out of school early and when I get there I won't even have the privilege of paying $10 for a beer. Other than diehard fans of Yale/BU and the fly-ins from MN just who do they think will show up? I live less than an hour away and I've been to 26 college hockey games this year, if they can't get me to go they sure as heck won't get any "casual fans" who just appreciate a good hockey game. And why on earth would UMD-MN be the later game, do the few folks flying out from MN care if their game is early? 2/3 of the 1st game attendees will bolt when it's over and the teams from MN will be playing to a 1/4 full house at best.

I agree with Fishhawk. It could have been done better.

UND lost on purpose so St cloud could get in.! I mean even the hak said as much when he told the media not to worry and relax.Classy move there UND. Classy move. Worked too.

Patman, ever been to Fargo? At least Worcester has Holy Cross.

Because the highest seed always plays first.
