My beloved University of Michigan Wolverines fell to the Minnesota – Duluth Bulldogs in the finals of the men’s NCAA hockey “Frozen Four” national championship in Saint Paul, Minnesota.  This despite my wearing my Wolverine ski band indoors in hot Texas while watching on ESPN.  It was a great game that went into overtime.  Michigan remains the school with the most hockey championships, ten – having last won in 1998 and going to the finals twice since then.  My friend said the loss was due to Michigan’s famous yellow striped helmets not being quite the same yellow shade as their yellow jerseys.  You have to wonder.
