Random observations:

-Both were good games tonight but my money is on CSU tomorrow.

-CU-UCSB was sort of sloppy while CSU-BYU looked a lot more sharp.

-You could really tell UCSB has lost some fire power on offense compared to last season.

-BYU's #7 is a quick little guy.

-The crowd between CU-UCSB was entertaining as this little group would be anti-CU while this group over here would be anti-the group that was anti-CU so they would root for CU. When one team scored, different little groups of 10-15 people would cheer even when they might be from the same team.

-I forgot to put sunscreen on my face and I will pay for it tomorrow.

-Liked how the venue was set-up. Started at Lindenwood-Duluth at 1 and was able to walk and watch 4 other games at any point.

I think this wins the award for the most poorly worded sentence ever.

Cut Benson some slack. It's hard to write when your face is on fire.

A few more articles have been posted on the main page. Still working on the final CSU/BYU recap article and Dave Adams' photos from Friday's action.

The Cougars have nothing to hang their heads about. They played their hearts out up to the end.

I think your observation below summed up the outcome.

CSU goaltender Pete Jokisch was also outstanding tonight.

CSU didn't BYU near as much space a Michigan did to take shots. They pretty much worked for every goal they scored. BYU #12 had two really nice goals early on.

Although I agree with you that BYU played hard, they didn't play smart. Every possession seemed like a 1 on 1 effort, which quickly turned in to a 1 on 3 effort with CSU's quick slides. BYU just wasn't able to find the open man for the dump off pass, so they were consistently stripped of the ball or put to the turf.

It was pretty obvious that CSU was just faster & stronger, and were able to disrupt most of what BYU was trying to do. It was a hard fought game though, and I thought for the most part, a clean one. CSU deserved to win. Hopefully next year BYU will have some kind of physical presence on midfield or attack to counteract CSU's strength.

I am working with the staff to get updates. The internet connection is down.

As everyone knows, the internet has been spotty the last couple of days, but this is definetly not Sonny's fault. Some fields have been getting better wifi than others and on some fields we "found" a wifi server to use. Hopefully the championship game will be a lot better from a technical standpoint.
