Once again, Harrison has done a great job. And let me concur the Stys kudos...the kid is an absolute warrior. I loved watching him in the tourney.
I think Hartford would be a great host for the AE tournament! Question though...is this an ON-CAMPUS bid or is there any talk of blacking out the upper bowl of the CIVIC CENTER?

Funny...I think one of the reasons so many people love Stys is that they often see a little of their own game in him.Every time I bring someone new to a UHA game they always say either they played a little like him or their friend did.Hard nosed tough,nice kid(also got team academic honor 2 years in a row) who comes from a good family,gets the most of his abilities.

The tourney would be at the Chase arena if Hartford gets it.I think it holds 4000 or so which is not much less than Delaware(maybe 1000-1500 less?)......more than enough for the AE tourney.The nice thing is the location would be maybe the most central in order to get the most travelers.....and it would be held ON THE WEEKEND.Can anybody say Foxwood excursion?

Re: Possible ESPN tours -- lsbal, 13:41:44 04/21/03 Mon
A while ago...when we had an in....we thought we might be able to arrange ESPN tours for those who wanted to partake when attending the AE tourney.I wonder if this thought process is still at hand.Then again our main ally's son now plays for Quinnipiac.
