For the record, Michael Phelps is a STUD!
This years Frozen Four, the National Championship semi-finals start this evening.
The first game pits North Dakota, the Fighting Sioux, against The Golden Eagles of Boston College. Game time is 4pm local time.
The second semi-final will see surprising Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish, skate against the powerful Michigan Wolverines. Puck drops on this one at 7pm.
Both games can be watched on the Duece (ESPN2)
I predict a Michigan vs. North Dakota final on Saturday, so if your prone to wager, go the other way!
Spring skiing should be in full swing this week as mountain resorts have received up to a foot and a half of snow over the past 24 hours.
In Steamboat Springs, the ski resort broke a record (more…)
The season opener for Colorado’s Major League Baseball franchise is tomorrow! It seems like only yesterday the whole Rocky Mountain Region was going CRAZY over the Rockies spectacular season ending performance.Last fall, the Colorado Rockies won 20 of 21 games to give them the National League Championship and a trip to their first World Series appearance. Since 1900, only three other teams have won 20 of 21 games after Sept. 1, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The last NL team to do it at any point of the season was the 1936 New York Giants.
With much higher expectations (more…)
March Madness is upon us, but I wanted to write about another college sport, HOCKEY! April 10th-April 12th, the College Hockey World will collide in Denver, for this years Frozen Four, College Hockey’s Division one Championship!
Colorado is actually a hotbed for College Hockey. The University of Denver Pioneers, are currently ranked #8 in the country, and are the 2004 & 2005 National Champions! Colorado College is currently ranked #3 in the country and is a perennial powerhouse in the NCAA hockey world. They are the WCHA regular season champion & have a legitimate chance of winning it all this year. Finally, the Air Force Academy always has a competitive team.
All of these team are within an hour of each other, and the State of Colorado usually has a say in who will ultimately be the NCAA National Champion!
The following is from the official site of the Frozen Four:
The NCAA® Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Championship returns to Colorado in 2008. The first 10 championships were held at the Broadmoor Arena in Colorado Springs starting in 1948. Denver will host this historic event in 2008 for the first time since legendary coach Herb Brooks led Minnesota to the 1976 NCAA title at DU Arena.
The Pepsi Center will be the site of the 2008 NCAA Men’s Frozen Four and was also the home of the 2007 NCAA Men’s West Regional. These events mark the first time in the history of college hockey that the Regional and Frozen Four will be hosted in the same venue in back-to-back years.
“We are excited to bring the NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Tournament to Denver,” said Jon Schmieder, Executive Director of the Metro Denver Sports Commission. “Denver is a premier sports city, and we’re honored to bring college hockey’s national stage to the Mile High City in 2008.”
Winners of the Regionals in Albany, NY; Madison, WI; Worcester, MA; and Colorado Springs, CO will advance to the 2008 Frozen Four
If you ever have a chance to take in a college hockey game, do yourself a favor, and GO! It’s fast paced and very exciting!
In an effort for Full Disclosure, I am a season ticket holder for DU Pioneer hockey, and will be rooting for the host team to go all the way!
Well I didn’t see it coming, but the Giants defense was AWESOME! And Eli played great. He made the play of the season, when he eluded defenders and chucked it down field for a huge gain on that last drive. Well done!
On the other side, Bill Belichek is a moron. He is a classic example of a poor loser. Show some class! You run the score up on people all year long, (i’m ok with that, as they get paid to stop you) but the actions after the Superbowl were telling of his true colors. I’m glad he lost, and will root against him everytime he plays! (more…)
Give me the Patriots minus the points.
Eli Manning must have a perfect game to keep this one close. The Giants must also help him out by being able to run the ball effectively. If these two things happen, the Giants have a chance to keep it close.
If either, or both, go sour, then the Patriots could have this wrapped up shortly after half-time.
I hope the commercials are good, because (more…)
