On the day of the NCAA title game, The New York Times had two obvious story choices:
- BU coach Jack Parker, whose tenure at BU dates almost back to the Ned Harkness era, goes for another NCAA title in his 13th final four appearance in 36 years.
- Relative newcomer Miami of Ohio should have won it last year, returns this year for a shot at its first title
Instead the Times went with a recap of Fair Harvard's championship back in 1989. Gotta love the title:
A Dear But Faded Memory: Harvard Program Has Fallen Behind After Winning the 1989 Title (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/11/sports/hockey/11harvard.html?_r=1&ref=sports)
The game tonight gets a one-sentence mention in the Sports Briefing item on BU's Matt Gilroy winning the Hobey.
The only Harvard hockey story I want to read is "Harvard replaces Ted Donato with Tommy Ammaker"
