Conference Tournaments / NCAA Bubble

Yale gets in. ND beats Michigan 3-1.  Let's hope for a good NC$$ showing by the ECAC.

Q 3-0 final

I've run several YATC scenarios, and in the ones I've run, Yale is eliminated if either BU wins tonight or Michigan wins tomorrow.  If both BU and Michigan win, then St. Cloud is also eliminated in the scenarios I tried.  But, I certainly didn't try every possibility.

Notre Dame beats Michigan.  Yale survives.

Yale can well afford the plane ride to Grand Rapids. They will get the Goofers if I am reading things correctly.

The question for the ECAC is whether Union gets to stay east in Providence. My bracket matches Jason's with BC vs, Union there.

I'm brainwashed by reading his blog.

Very nice.  Now hopefully they (or Union or Q) will answer the bell.

His bracket has Union and Q in the BC regional.  Now watch it's Canisius that advances from there...  :-P

Oh well, now that Mich has lost, it looks like I won't be going to any regionals. Now  the process of cancelling all the reservations and making new ones for next year. I'm always optimistic.:-}

Michigan leading 1-0 after 1.  Of course.

God I hate Michigan.

Why, because they're too good? Sort of how the rest of the ECAC used to feel about us?

That's pretty much it for me. I could give a bunch of subsidiary reasons like not being willing to travel, etc. but basically it's that they've been too good for too long.

If I had made the unfortunate decision to go another ECAC school I"d probably hate Cornell too. Perish the thought.

Yankees too, bud: evil empire forever. :-) I couldn't live with the hypocrisy, so I stopped faulting other programs for consistent success.

Easy enough to find other reasons to dislike them than their winning.

Hypocrisy? It's sports fandom. It doesn't have to be rational and consistent. Besides, I don't mind if other people hate the Yankees. It actually warms my heart to hear somof the vitriol directed toward my baseball team. (I don't think I'll enjoy the likely gloating this year but that'll be much more due to the resulys than how anyone else feels about them.)

Definitely enjoy this about Cornell hockey.  "Frustrated!"

I definitely enjoy the hate directed at the Yankees by the locals in Boston; I just have a hard time reciprocating. I guess I'm a bad fan.

Three years in a row that Jason Moy has nailed the seeding.

Was he in Atlantic City this weekend and happen to buy a Powerball ticket too?

Nah. Fandom just means you have a right to irrationally hate a bunch of guys (or uniforms) that really have no impact on your life. It doesn't mean you have to.
