Actually, Dartmouth won. FYI.

Ok. So this is not basketball? Are we talking ski racing?
Fencing? Competitive Mining? Synchronized swimming? What?

Google fails me.

These are big winning bruisers in the NCAA hockey world, they seemed
to rotate on winning the championship, with Lake Superior State
always in contention.

Are the weather and snow really that abysmal? These posts seem to be
the classical signs of the "avoidance syndrome".

Well, things are definitely winding down here. We've got a couple more
weeks, maybe three if we get a cold spell and some more snow, but past
that you'd be driving a distance and skiing on dirt pie. I'd rather get
out the bike and tennis racket when it gets to that point.

We are always trying to talk ski racing. Yes, it was ski racing:

Here as well. Even Sault Ste Marie based Lake Superior State's local
hill has closed for the season. I'm trying to wring another 5 or so
days out of the season, but I'll be driving a distance and skiing on a
dirt pie. When I come back, the usual bad jokes, insider references and
occasional rant will be cheerfully provided free of charge to all comers.

You and Mary may always be trying to talk ski racing, but Richard is
apparently talking hockey.

The MSU Spartans, who's two closest hills are Trashmore and Cannonsberg,
are not what you'd think of as a skiing powerhouse. If they were in
contention for the national championship in skiing *that* would be news.

Of course, from TFA, I see that Northern Michigan did well in the Nordic
portion of the meet. GO ...um...what is the mascot for NMU again?..!!!

Hell no. Just had another deep powder day. Freshies to exhaustion.
