Bottom Feeders Bracket/Futile Four 2010

Re: Bottom Feeders Bracket/Futile Four 2010

The important part here is the location. I will put Fort Dupont Rink up against any other. Less than a block away is Dupont Circle where you can be accosted by transvestite hookers and a block in the other direction is responsible for more murders than any other location in DC (and that's saying something).

I think if the committee takes into consideration the constant peril that not only the players will be engaged in, but also the ever present fear of death that the fans will enjoy you will see fit to make Fort Dupont the home of the East Regional, if not the Futile Four itself.

Fort Dupont Rink is Southeast... Dupont Circle is in Northwest... while one could probably describe Dupont Circle as "fabulous", I would imagine that Fort Dupont Rink's location west of RFK is anything but fabulous.

Losers advance to the National Chumpionship Game:
Monday April 5, 2:00PM

An electrical failure at the hotel where both the BG and UConn teams were staying has forced the postponment of today's scheduled semifinals. Ravi Hamissan, owner of the Jackson East TravelLodge explained through an interperter "Both teams had requests for 5AM wake-up calls, but without any power, they never got sent."

When neither team arrived at the arena, the BFB Committee was stumped. "We have never established a protocol for this situation" said BFB Chair Francis Bedwetter. "There was available ice time later in the day, but we all wanted to watch the basketball games."

According to reasonably reliable sources, the games are now scheduled as follows:

BG v UConn Sunday April 4 at 1:30pm
Niagara v AIC Sunday April 4 at 4:45pm

Chumpionship: Mon April 5 at 2:00pm

Are these times Eastern? Central? or Greenwich Mean? I'd hate to miss one of these games...

Local (Central Daylight) Time, altho the committee is not sure if that is one hour ahead or behind eastern time. We can never seem to keep that straight.

Semi-Final #1: Connecticut 2, Bowling Green 1.

Bowling Green's game strategy was obvious, taking a page from the script of "Slapshot" en route to hard fought defeat in their BFB/F4 semifinal matchup against the UConn Huskies. BG took a BFB tournament record 316 penalty minutes in the game, playing an astonishing 59:53 shorthanded at least one man.

In all twelve Falcons were disqualified, and it appears as though at least five of those DQ's will carry over to tomorrow's chumpionship game. BG's Kai Kantola waited nearly seven seconds after the opening faceoff to start the festivities, delivering a vicious baseball type two hander across the back of Huskie defenseman Alex Gerke.

UConn's powerplay clipped along at a sizzling 7.1% (2 for 28). BG's lone tally (shorthanded, of course) was scored by reserve goaltender Phil Greer. Greer was pressed into service as a forward midway through the third period as the Falcon bench was shortened by multiple disqualifications. "The last time I scored a goal was in Mites." said Greer. "I'd forgotten how much fun it was."

BG will face the loser of the Niagara-American International game tomorrow. The Falcons are in position to join Michigan Tech as the only schools in history to have an NCAA Championship and a BFB Title.

Terrible attitude to have. What if he does something silly like scoring a hat trick tomorrow?

Semi-Final #2: Niagara 3, American International 0

Backstopped by an elderly Ontario transvestite, Niagara avoided the embarrassment of heading to the BFB finals. With Niagara's elimination from the tournament, College Hockey America officially ceases to exist.

With all three goaltenders suffering with food poisoning, Purple Eagles head coach Dave Burkholder had to scramble to find a goalie with remaining college eligibility to fill the void. Enter Jean McGregor the 108 year old life partner of Niagara University professor emeritus Alice McAlister. McGregor, pictured here (far right) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gi..._team_1921.jpg last played organized hockey in 1937.

The Yellow Jackets peppered the centragenarian with four shots on goal, including nearly one grade A scoring opportunity. "He or she was a wall in there." said Gary Wright.

AIC faces Bowling Green Monday at 2pm for the chumpionship.

Botched kidnapping delays BFB/FutileFour Finale

A bus carrying the American International College men's ice hockey team to Monday's scheduled game was hijacked in what appears to be a case of mistaken identity. The bus, on loan from the Jackson (Mississippi) Public School District, was commandeered at a traffic light in suburban Flowood.

Two attackers, dressed in tarnished green costumes resembling The Statue of Liberty had been seen frolicking and dancing in front of a strip mall which houses a tax return preparation business, forced their way on to the bus and overpowered the driver shortly after noon Monday.

Bus driver Florence Henderson-Brady, 49 of Ridgeland, was found about 3pm bound and gagged in the toilet stall at a roadside rest on Interstate 55 near Ponchatoula. Mississippi State Police spokesman Bernard "Barney" Fife III, told this reporter that Ms Henderson-Brady was not injured, and is "currently being interviewed by detectives" as they try to piece together evidence.

"We believe it was a case of mistaken identity" said Fife. "Possibly having to do with a child custody dispute." "Once the perpetrators discovered the bus was not carrying elementary school kids, they panicked...disposed of the driver, and are now headed for parts unknown." An All-Points-Bulletin has been issued by Mississippi State Police. Federal authorities, though monitoring the event, have not yet joined the investigation.

BFB Chairman Francis Bedwetter says the Bowling Green team has been taken under protective custody to an undisclosed, secure location just in case this turns out to be part of an organized plot to disrupt the event. "We've had threats before, from hockey purists and other deviant types...but have never considered those threats to be credible."

Are you sure s/he is on the far right, because the one on the far left looks more than a little masculine.

The one on the far right looks like he/she should be in a 60s British Invasion band. The one on the far left kinda looks like a serial killer. I think either one would be acceptable for this tournament.
