What a Wheathead

As usual the week-end went by entirely too fast. Saturday the hockey game started at 3pm Alaska time as the UAF Nanooks played Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana in the final game of the regular season. After losing 4-1 Friday the Nanooks were in a must win situation for home ice. Well, folks we won! BUT, and a big BUT here, Ferris State won their game in overtime against UM (U of Minnesota) which knocked the Nanooks down to 9th place with Notre Dame getting 8th place with home ice advantage. So the Nanooks stayed in Indiana instead of coming home all the way to Fairbanks just to turn around and head back to the South Bend for the March 2, 3 &4th playoffs. (Not all was sad as now the Nanooks coaches/announcers can attend the John Mellencamp concert this week in Indiana where JM is from.)

Nanook goalie Wylie Rogers was named the number 1 star of the game, Notre Dame goalie David Brown was named the #2 star and Nanooks Kyle Greentree got the #3 star with the winning goal in a 2-1 tight game. It was an exciting game and I was so nervous listening to it I cleaned my kitchen AND bathroom with nervous energy. I called my sis in Fairbanks before the game and told her to drink a beer, it helps! We had to wait a half an hour after we won for the game tracker to spit out scores to see if we got home ice. Too bad UM lost! I had a ride up to Frbks, time off from work and everything all arranged to attend! Theres no way I can fly to Notre Dame without charging up a credit card. Wylie's dad is going to go and Wylie knows we'll be listening here! in Alaska on KSUA internet radio. GO NANOOKS!

Then if all that wasn't exciting enough, after the hockey game Saturday night Whole Wheat Radio had a LIVE house concert in the Wheat Hole on a webcast! Radoslav Lorkovic, Robin Hopper, and Ann Pence ! It was fantastic! The next best thing to being there. Can I say I love the internet?

Thank - you Bruce (voice of the nanooks) and Jim and Esther (whole wheat radio) for your time and efforts. No need to say more about them just tune in and decide for yourself. Thats what the internet is all about. I love it. More than TV. But not as much as tomorrow.
