    Re: NCAA Championship

    17 votes! Isn't that the total that voted last year? If the Gophers win, there's going to be a few embarrassed fans in the Twin Cities for not voting for them, including me.

      I voted my heart. And I think we got a post Pyeongchang bump. Surely there are 19, maybe even 20 active posters here.

            My thoughts parallel yours. My heart says OSU. My head says Clarkson. Voting my heart.

            So CU it is. But what's "CCT?" Is that a college/academic unit within Clarkson University? Or perhaps it reflects a former name for CU?

            We're allowed to have some extra posters, particularly at tournament time. But the actual discipleships are capped at 17. My only question: Where can we find a definitive list of the 17 Chosen Ones?

                  For the most part. It might have been slightly different back in the early days (1900's).

                    School names do tend to evolve over the long term. OSU was originally the "Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College." So had things gone differently, I guess we could have been Ohio A&M.

                    But the change to "The Ohio State University" came pretty quickly, in 1878. Admittedly all of the emphasis on "THE" was a 1980's marketing ploy that stuck.

                      That thread seemed to experience a bit of a surge this year compared to other seasons.

                        So MN has as good a chance to win as NE? LOL. They both and beat UW interestingly enough.

                        If people were voting with their hearts, Clarkson would have like, what 2 votes?

                        If UW get can get by MN, I can see the Clarkson rematch.

                            I don't rank teams because I have not seen most of them play so I don't see any value. This is simpler than that I suppose but I'm still going to avoid it. I have been sucked in by the Williamson story & think her team may do better than expected. I am not going to risk angering the hockey gods by picking. Yeah, I'm a wimp.
                            The odds say Clarkson beating Wisconsin but we will see. I can't wait for the puck to drop & we find out

                              Can one vote exclusively with the head with no interference from the heart or gut? Lots of friends from Minnesota, love their Sen. Klobuchar......respect the Badgers, OSU and Clarkson.......cannot get over the Badgers beating us(UNH) in 77, so they’re out......let’s start with Clarkson, Colgate, Minnesota and OSU (sorry TTT) to move on......that will give us a couple of great semi-finals!
                              Thanks to the Big 10 Network for broadcasting the games!🥅🏒

                                Don't we usually start by having a poll of who will make the Frozen Four before we get to the who wins it all poll?
