Cox Cable is my hero...and More Hockey Musings
Move over Mouse, you are no longer my hero. I've been searching through the TV clearances for the NCAA hockey tournament games all week. Since I don't get ESPNU, which is airing the game on tape delay at 11PM, I've been trying to find some way to see the Michigan game tonight.
According to the NCAA website Cox Cable was syndicating the ESPNU coverage all of the hockey games in Rhode Island, but not in Connecticut. However, the Cox Sports channel in Manchester has picked up every game so far. While I was unable to confirm whether the Michigan game will be on live at 7:30 in both CT and Rhode Island, I am extremely optimistic that I will get the game. WOO HOO!
I already have plans with DrT in New Haven this evening, but at least I'll be able to tape the game and watch it around 10:30 tonight! Although I lined up someone to tape the game for me on ESPNU tonight just in case the game is not on COX Sports TV, I didn't think I could wait until tomorrow afternoon to find out who won. Now, I probably won't have to.
Speaking of hockey, Brian at MGoBlog linked to a decent post on a different Michigan sports blog that previewed the upcoming hockey tournament and summarized the best 9 Michigan NCAA tournament games in recent history in a three part series. I surfed around this blog for a while since there was a lot of material about the MMB. I noticed that one of the three writers on that site was a member of the MMB trumpet section when I was in the band. We both joined the band in 1999. I never really knew him (there were 70 trumpets after all). I didn't realize that he was such a passionate UM sports fan, though I don't really remember him saying much during my three years in the band.
As a side note, I agree with most of the 9 selections in their series of posts on the best Michigan NCAA hockey tournament games. I would have added the 1993 frozen four OT loss to a Maine team that won the NCAA title and finished the year 42-1-3, a 2-1 OT loss to #1 seed UNH in the 1998 quarterfinals when Josh Blackburn made 45+ saves, and a 5-3 win over Denver in 1998 after falling behind 3-0 late in the second period.
GO BLUE! BEAT THE SIOUX!
