Frozen Four, Baby!

Heh. They's more to sports than just March Madness and Spring Training. There's also the Famous Frozen Four of college hockey (hockey is THE sport in Maine, with a quick interruption for the Sox).

Congratulations to the Maine Black Bears, who defeated the UMass Minutemen and are headed to the Frozen Four, where they'll meet Sparty. Never underestimate Michigan State. They're a scrappy lot (caused by not being the University of Michigan) and like to give people some trouble. Just look at that guy. Would you mess with him?

And kudos to Boston College, who whomped up on the Miami Red Hawks (my little bro's alma mater) to advance to the Frozen Four as well. BC lost to Wisconsin in last year's final and they're ready for a National Championship.

Good luck to the Eagles and the Black Bears. (Revealing who I'm pulling for is unwise for a variety of reasons, but suffice it to say I've abandoned my midwest roots).
