Reminder: Selection show on ESPN2

[AdamBC]

Selection show is today at 11:30a on ESPN2. Lets see who the Eagles are playing (and where - but I'm assuming it's Worcester).

BC will be in Worcester. I told you to mark my words weeks ago. They will be the 1 seed. They will likely face Alaska in the first round.

It looks like No Dak and Michigan will be the 2 and the 3. Unless the NCAA decides to play with the sites (for example, switching Yale in and Michigan out in the name of attendance), this will be one of the most epic regionals of all time. 3 powerhouse programs with big fanbases will be at the same site, and these three are perhaps the hottest teams in the country late in the season. Regardless of who gets sent our way, we'll be the favorite. But, it could be very interesting.

Incidentally, it looks like UNH and UVM will be the last two teams IN.

My money is on Michigan getting bounced to another bracket and UNH replacing them.

So, if BC wins it all this year, they're 100% guaranteed to have a significantly harder path than last year's championship cakewalk, right?

[Onyx Blackman]

Oh shit. It's on now.

[AdamBC]

Oh shit. It's on now.

I hope they make a special video for this game.

:shock do we get brackets for hockey too?

I will look into this over the next few days.

Why does the polar bear destroy the earth? Wouldn't that interfere with playing hockey?

These intros are terrifying.

Wow, that video alone may beat us in the Opening Round.

Are the turkeys in that video castrated? If not they're just turkeys and not Hokies, making the video invalid and decidedly less intimidating than jet flying, world destroying polar bears.

I really don't like having North Dakota in this bracket.

North Dakota doesn't like having BC in their bracket.

I really don't like having North Dakota in this bracket.

Playing the top 2 seed is the trade-off for getting the 1-seed. In a way I wish Michigan was the 3 seed in the bracket; that theoretically would have been a tougher game for whichever of the 2/3 seed advanced. It also would be more interesting for those that are going to the game.
