Just happened to be watching the local news on NBC, and caught the opening of Saturday Night Live. Now that was funny. Haven't really seen that show in years, but they did mention... the writers are back. Good stuff.

And just to update you on the Wisconsin prep hockey scores, heck I'll even throw in the brackets below so you don't have to click the link:

Fond du Lac got knocked out by Appleton, 4-3;

the Germantown Ice Bears -- alas -- had their season ended by University School, 3-1;

locally, Edgewood advances to state (they haven't been able to get past this round in the past few years, not sure if it's their first trip ever) by beating Middleton, 4-0;

Superior again makes a showing (though they're really not all that strong this year, so we'll see... but somehow that Minnesota competition, plus they seem to know their role is to represent the North in this tournament... can you see why I don't bet/predict? Must be the Libra in me...) anyway, Superior over River Falls, 6-1;

Eau Claire Memorial over Lakeland, 5-0;

Wisconsin Rapids over Sparta (remember, who knocked off Onalaska), 3-2 in OT;

and Janesville eked past Stoughton, 2-1 in OT.

Mosinee is still alive, pushing past Wausau West, 6-3;
and that's 8.

Here are the brackets, and times the puck(s) drop Thursday:

Mosinee meets Edgewood at 11a.m.
Rapids and Appleton Co-op at appr. 1:15;
and for the evening session...
Eau Claire Memorial vs. Janesville at 5p.m.;
and then, Superior (who's travelling the furthest) v. University School at appr. 7:15pm.
