"It's Great. To Be. A Michigan Wolverine!"

Thus goes one of the many Michigan cheers (also found with MANY other sports teams). We chanted it last night along with a couple thousand other people at the Joe Louis arena in Detroit after we won the CCHA championship. CCHA is the Central Collegiate Hockey Association, the conference that Michigan belongs to. Michigan has the #1 hockey team in the nation this year, and a bunch of my friends and I drove to Detroit to watch the championship game against Miami of Ohio (the #3 team). John and I had planned on going to the semi-finals on Friday night with a couple of my friends, but we were the lucky recipients of 8-10 inches of snow, so we backed out. Yesterday however, the roads were all clear and a group of 8 of us headed out to the city. The game wasn't extremely exciting, but we won 2-1, so that was good.

Here are some photos:

My friends (from front to back): Bob (aka "Boston Bob" from William and Mary, Dan, and Aaron. All four of these guys were in my section last year).

As a side note, the Rosstache competition is underway where men grow out beards and mustaches, then get bid on for charity. That's why Aaron has all the facial hair.

Then, Iyates (Bob's Colombian girlfriend), me, Suzanne, and her boyfriend Brian who is a resident in the med school.


Me and Suzanne.


The players celebrating our win.
