Alas Marist did fall to Rita 1-0 and they will not go on to face Fenwick in the finals. Oh well!

I’m also bummed I apparently never met this lady, because I so could have used one of those shares of Abbot Lab stock! I’m not greedy, I wouldn’t need all 3 or anything

Busy weekend ahead, starts with the Hawks vs Vancouver game tonight. Ready to zap past this day and get it started already!

Managed to get Dad and I to the Hawks game last night in time to get the bobblehead giveaway, making me 2 for 2 in getting out of work and over there in time to brave the line waiting for entrance and get it. Looked like a little more rust was knocked off after the long Olympic break. Better be all gone as there are some big games this weekend coming up! I’ll get a chance to see the Vancouver game Fri while Mark will get to experience another Detroit game.

In other hockey news, Marist plays St. Rita in the deciding game 3 of the Kennedy Cup semifinals tonight. You can see a video interview with the hockey coach @ the Coach’s Corner Show website. Good luck to the alma mater!

Now speaking of the alma mater (or in this case, alma materS) … There was an article that announced that the Marist / Bro Rice football rivalry (aka “The Pulaski Road Super Bowl”) is back on for at least 2 years starting in 2011. Mt. Greenwood will be rocking again!

Also apparently getting closer to being announced is that the Illinois / Northwestern 2010 football game will be held in Wrigley Field. I’m due for a road trip to watch that game and I would so go and watch at Wrigley just to say I was there

Sounds like the Canadian women’s hockey team was very happy to have won their gold medal and took some time out to have a party on the ice after. Honestly I think that champagne and cigars sounds like a great combo … and who doesn’t want to have a turn driving the Zamboni??

Also if you hadn’t noticed the news relating to the recent blog about the missing Andrew Koenig, apparently that has not ended well after all.

Apparently if you are REALLY upset about not winning an Olympic gold medal you could always just invent an even better medal to win instead. Seems like its just not really the Olympics until someone goes and starts a good controversy right?
