Twas woman to woman and man to man
Shillelagh law was all the rageAnd a row and a ruction soon began ( The Dubliners)This Friday at 2:00 p.m. the gloves come off.....on a sheet of ice in downtown Manchester New Hampshire.........what exactly is a Hampshire ? and what did they do with the old one ?
The Bentley Falcons make their first ever appearance in the NCAA Mens Ice Hockey Tournament , that alone is a great story.....the one time business College in Waltham Mass, now a University with an Athletic program in it's infancy ; has won the Atlantic hockey Division for the first time and advanced to the round of 16.
And who shall they play ? A rival from nearby Chestnut Hill and the #1 team in the nation......the Big, Bad, Eagles of Boston College.......just 6 miles separates the two campuses , they probably drink in the same gin mills or jockey for a spot at the bar in Cask n Flagon on Redsox opening day.....but that's where the similarities die......BC is loaded with top recruits, NHL prospects and the expectation of a trip to the frozen 4 every year........the hardscrabble Falcons are future investment bankers that have turned a Club Status team from the 70' and 80's into a D1 program just over 25 years ago.
Yes this will be a civil war.....and although i have family on both sides of the ice , i know the bassist for Bentley......GOOOO FALCONS.........2+3=BEEER

Reminds of a story Phil told in searching for the sound.
He once dated Linda Eastman but she left him for Paul McCartney
He said - oh well- at least she married a bass player
