Bottom Feeders Bracket/Futile Four 2010

Re: Bottom Feeders Bracket/Futile Four 2010

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:Girls_ice_hockey_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."

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.
 
Re: Bottom Feeders Bracket/Futile Four 2010

The college hockey world is anxiously waiting further information on the final - has the AIC team been found??
 
Re: Bottom Feeders Bracket/Futile Four 2010

bump for great curiosity.

it's the last bit to bring some closure to the season.
 
Re: Bottom Feeders Bracket/Futile Four 2010

Since there's strong feelings for Football stadiums, I'd like to place a bid for next year at the Rose Bowl.

While it's in the middle of a large metro area, and arguably, one of the easiest places to get to by plane, it's probably the area that has some of the least interest in College Hockey, and I'm sure that the natural turf will cause havoc in making ice- let alone the sun. May have to have some cure for heat stroke. For resurfacing, they can turn the chillers off with 1-2 min left in the period, let the top melt, and then re-freeze. I'm sure the teams wont notice.

But the best part will be the dozen or so spectators, since they have to be there to keep the grounds clean.

BTW, how's the ice up in Moscow?

(my brother actually helped build that rink....)

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.

Uh, may want to update the teams on that- local in Moscow, ID is Pacific...
 
Re: Bottom Feeders Bracket/Futile Four 2010

Perhaps the AIC team has finally showed up and they are still caught in a marathon overtime tied at the riveting score of 0-0?

The question about game times and time zones was concerning the semi-finals and finals in Flowood Mississippi, NOT Moscow Idaho. Mississippi, of course, is in the central time zone.

Oh, I missed that- the regional was in Moscow. And all of my friends were looking forward to cleaning up after the chumpionship. Apparently, they didn't miss anything.
 
Re: Bottom Feeders Bracket/Futile Four 2010

Taos, NM Sixteen members of of a New England college ice hockey team were among fifty two people arrested in an early morning raid of a ramshackle compound just north of this New Mexico community. The men's hockey team from American International College in Springfield Mass, had been abducted on April 6 in Flowood Miss as they were traveling by bus to the chumpionship game of the BottomFeedersBracket/FutileFour.

The pre-dawn raid, a joint effort of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and a truant officer from Taos Municipal Schools, had been in the planning stages for several weeks according to a statement from the office of the school superintendent.

Solving the mystery of the missing hockey team appears to have been completely accidental, as preparations for the raid were well underway long before their abduction. Speculation is rampant that the hockey players were overtaken by the Stockholm Syndrome, a rare psychological phenomenon wherein hostages develop positive relationships with, and sympathy for the causes of their captors.

Confiscated materials included: 240 kilos of marijuana, 32 pounds of methamphetamine, an undisclosed number of weapons and a bootlegged VHS recording of the Allman Brothers Band 1971 Fillmore East concerts. Two mobile homes filled with laboratory equipment and supplies for the production of methamphetamine were still being inventoried at the time of this article's release, and agents have begun the process of destroying "several thousand" marijuana plants found in various stages of cultivation on the property.

The remaining members of the AIC team remain unaccounted for, altho statements overheard among those being arrested lead this reporter to believe that they had left freely earlier in the week. Depending on which version you choose to believe, the missing players either went out mushroom hunting, or were planning to hitchhike to Venice California to pursue careers in the adult film industry. It is also possible that they simply went home.

Attempts to reach anyone connected with the BFB/F4 have not met with any success.
