$25? $25? That's as ridiculous as us charging $25 for the UConn women's hoops game at the Cott Dome.

I would pay that and more to watch Colgate in a playoff game. What do they charge in Lake Placid for playoff hockey tix? Why is that any different? Am wondering if UNH students will be back on campus...hopefully not. We had a nice contingent in Hamilton on Saturday despite no students being present; glad to be there.

Did we really get outbid? Assumed UNH got the nod b/c they beat Colgate H2H. Have read that the Wildcats are 45-3 (give or take) on their home turf since 2005...not the best Raider odds.

Anyone else question the bracket integrity?

I would pay $25, too. However, around Hamilton, I wonder how many somewhat casual fans would come up with that amount if the game was at Kerr. Husband and wife with a couple of kids, parking and food, it starts adding up. And, it is on ESPN3.

For $25 I'll skip the game and go hunting, again.
