You know you are itching for college hockey when...

I was making mac and cheese when I realized that as I was straining the mac I was chanting sieve, sieve, sieve. Also, did anyone else hear the crowd yell RED! during the national anthem for the opening game of the Stanley Cup finals, or am I just hearing things? ::screwy::

Yeah, but it was pretty weak

Probably cause Carolina has some red in their jerseys. I was listening, but didn't pick up on that. But then again, I was also making dinner and probably not paying quite close enough attention.

Well, don't we all do our own little "RED!" and fist pump wherever we hear the nationl anthem these days.

As for my own "you know you're itching for...", I'm reading a thread now about Vin Scully and the one-man booth, and while thinking of one-man booths in sports, the first (and almost only) reference that comes to my mind is listening to the Cornell games on the radio/internet.

I miss college hockey every weekend I spend home with my kids...

OK, kidding. Mostly. I usually starting really itching for hockey when the Mets fall out of the race. Say, June. This year will be an instructive exception.

Oh good. I thought the Lynah Faithful voices in my head were screaming a little louder from outside my head last night and got a little confused.

... when you search the Carolina stands for a Cornell jersey in the crowd.

If you see one, don't cry out and tell your girlfriend or wife, because she'll think you're really off the deep end, and console herself with a trip to the day spa, depleting your joint cash reserves by a couple hundred dollars.

(An understanding spouse or friend would say, "Wow! Cool! Was it home or away?" Then shake her head and head to the spa ... )

I seem to be down to a nearly reasonable two or three times per week.

Holy crap. Totally fitting thread. I just dreamt last night that I played for the team. I was getting ready for the game and was walking around in full gear. I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. (Although a part of me was wondering, "Uh, dude, didn't you, like, graduate? TWICE?")

And then I woke up. :-/

This isn't the first time I've dreamt that.

Been there, done that.

How about being in a meeting with another person named Jeff, and when someone asks "which Jeff were you referring to?" you go "Good Jeff...Bad Jeff...etc." ::nut::

Not only that, but you've done it often enough that the other people in the meeting do it with you.

Each time anyone says "(so and so) called..." I am compelled to fill in the rest.
