Hope the wind dies down so I don't keep loosing power and internet before the UNH-McNeese State football game at three this afternoon....

[RJDiogenes]

Yeah, good luck. I hope you stay powered and connected.

[jgc]

Woo hoo! The wind died down, I didn't loose internet and was able to listen to the whole game!

My Team won: 49-13!!!

Next week: Quarterfinals (UNH as been to the quarterfinals four times in the last six years). UNH Wildcats vs Villanoa Wildcats. At Villanova.

[RJDiogenes]

That's a pretty solid win. I guess the wind was at their backs.

UNH vs Villanova:

end 1st qtr: Villanova 17, UNH 0

4:56 p.m.
halftime: Villanova 24, UNH 0

6:05 p.m.
end 3rd qtr: Villanova 39, UNH 0

6:42 p.m.

Once again, UNH does not make it past the quarterfinals.

OK - I see that I've got this thread mostly to myself, but now that scottydog has returned, maybe we can talk I-AA football in the fall.

Right now, my favorite college team the UNH Wildcats have won the Hockey East regular season. Now they head to Boston for the Hockey East playoff for the title and a possible bid to the national playoffs.

A definite yes on the football conversation in the fall. I wish college hockey were bigger down here in the mid-Atlantic. I'll root for UNH!

Right now we're having fun following Richmond in the NCAA basketball tournament.

No one here follows NCAA basketball? Sacrilege! What's the latest with NCAA hockey?

[jgc]

Let me check....

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The NCAA Division I men’s hockey selection committee announced live on ESPN2 on Sunday morning that the No. 13-ranked University of New Hampshire men’s hockey team will face seventh-ranked Cornell University (21-8-4) in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in the East Regional on Friday, March 26 (6:30 p.m.) at Times Union Center in Albany, N.Y. The game will be broadcast live on ESPNU.

Sounds like UNH is the underdog, so now I have TWO REASONS to root for them!

[jgc]

I love UNH Hockey. Only this year, I was lax in following the goings on. I'm happy they were invited to the nationals.

[jgc]

UNH Hockey lost last night. They are out of the playoffs.

[jgc]

Too bad scottydog is gone for the weekend - it's UNH vs Richmond in college football tomorrow at noon.

[jgc]

Well, surprise, surprise! UNH won 17-0.

[jgc]

Woo hoo!! UNH won over Villanova in the last 20 seconds of the game!
