2009 Frozen Four - Who wins?

[BB73]

Which team wins the NCAA Hockey Championship?

FYI, these odds are mine.

 

[Ttown]

Boston U. all the way.

I hope Miami does, but that is just because I went there. I bet on Boston U. They are light years ahead of everyone else based on talent.

I'll put a k on my Alma Mater.

Go Hawks!

Don't you mean Redskins, or did you start after 1997?

 

[LitlBuck]

Let's go Terriers:)

Freshman year was 2001, so technically a Redhawk.

My nephew, a graduate of Fredo, who no longer contributes to his alma mater would disagree with you.

unless Boston runs into a hot goalie I don't see anyone stopping them.

Yea, I noticed many people were really upset about the change but I never really knew them as anything but Redhawks, so it never bothered me.

Miami flat out dominated that game. Bemidji had nothing going at any time. I haven't seen Miami play that well all year. They are really peaking at the right time.

Nice to hear cause Boston always seems to have their number.

In that case I will excuse your use of the fowl as the mascot. I was there when the name changed. It was a really unpopular change. I still support the University, but I found it to be a real bad move. I know a number of older alumni that haven't given a penny to them since the change.

I guess this writer never heard of Fredo:tongue2:

Frozen Four: RedHawks earn a shot at NCAA title

WASHINGTON -- Bemidji State's out-of-the-blue story is over. Let Miami's begin.

The RedHawks are headed to the NCAA championship game after beating fellow upstart Bemidji State 4-1 last night in the Verizon Center.

Bemidji State had the funkier name and the support of kindred spirits from George Mason -- which loaned its "Green Machine" pep band to the green-clad Beavers for the week -- but Miami had the three-goal burst in the second period in the first national semifinal game played by any sports team in the school's history.

Miami (23-12-5) will face Boston University, which beat Vermont 5-4, in Saturday's title game. Bemidji State (20-16-1) will head home with a George Mason-like feeling -- good enough to make its sport's biggest stage, but not good enough to win once it was there.

Stunning upsets in the first two rounds made Bemidji State the darlings of the Frozen Four, much as George Mason was at basketball's Final Four three years ago.

Had the Beavers not been here, Miami would have carried the banner for the underdogs. Only one Division I hockey school -- Alabama-Huntsville -- is farther south. Oxford's population of 22,000 could almost squeeze into the Verizon Center, although Bemidji's 14,000 or so would fit with room to spare.
