NCAA Day 1 (March 29)

My God, never read Urban Dictionary without a stiff drink.

CHN says 35 secs left in the other game.  Still 2-1 AIC.

Haven't found any way to get audio or video for this and ESPN is a fail.

I signed up for Hulu to get the channels that Spectrum doesn't provide me.  How does one get ESPN3?  It's my understanding it's internet only.

I'll be honest, given it was Urban Dictionary, I was expecting on the definitions to be an elaborate sex act.  I don't need to tell you what the "Cloud" would be....

Do you have the Hulu with live TV package?

For those with cable use the ESPN app and click Watch.  Then scroll to the bottom where the ESPN channels are listed.  There you choose ESPN 3.  From there I could also stream from my tablet through Cromecast. I could not steam directly to my Samsung TV as I can with some apps.

I don't know if it works differently with Hulu.

Yes

AIC taking down St. Cloud State is sweet.

Still is in second place to Holy Cross taking out the Gophers in 2006. I :heart: Tyler McGregor.

Eden the Elf and I are at a nose work competition this weekend (I was pulling for the Manchester Regional). Hoping that the ESPN Plus archives the games and allows you to watch later.

Let's Go Red!!

Buccigross is bad enough during regulation; he rises to insufferable in overtime.

Please end this soon!

Nice thing about Melrose and Buccigross doing the Clarkson and Harvard games is that for once they're not doing ours.

I was distracted by the end of the SCSU-AIC game.  How did Barry go from convinced the "last entry" was offsides to sure the goal would count?

I don't mind Buccigross.

Conclusive replay.  Reverse angle showed the puck was a good foot over the line before a skate crossed.

I don't mind Buccigross.

JTW I actually don't mind either of them in the flow of the game. It's those moments after whistles that I mind.

Frankly, I'm really tired of people treating Buccigross like he's the Pope of college hockey on social media. His self-promoting merchandise with a teeth-grinding regionalism hashtag makes me sick.

Pretty much anyone doing College Hockey on ESPN shows their ignorance when they open their mouths.  All they know is last year's tournament and big name schools.

The first day of the NCAAs served as a good reminder that no matter how tough it can be as a Big Red sports fan, hockey is full of tough breaks and they affect everyone else too. Each of the four teams that lost yesterday had a really difficult call go against them, or they badly outplayed the opponent and still lost, or they lost in the final seconds/OT, or some combination thereof. There is a massive amount of luck involved in a single-elimination hockey tournament. Bad beats can and will happen. Unless you're Yale.

Somehow the authors of the quotes got swapped.  Two things irritate me about Buccigross: First, his rising and falling inflection makes it sound like every play was almost a goal, but turned into a disappointing near miss.  Second, like many ESPN commentators, he's addicted to catch phrases: every wrist shot for a goal is a "twisted wrister".

Of course, it's always bugged me since the ESPN national announcers took over the NCAAs and displaced real college hockey institutions like Bob Norton (annoying as he was in his own way).
