Weather Forecast for Columbus, OH NWS: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/forecasts/OHZ055.php?warnzone=ohz055&warncounty=ohc049 , Weather.com: http://www.weather.com/weather/local/USOH0212?from=search_city . Is Columbus in Franklin Co.?
Re: Weather Forecast for Columbus, OH sure is. it is going to be cold tomorrow, and on top of the cold we are suppose to get anywhere from 1 to 4 inches of snow in these parts in the next 12-24 hours. should make things interesting.
My thoughts are basically if St. John's keeper can continue to be the beast he has been, then the game will probably come down to penalty kicks. Oh, and its going to be hella cold, I think I'm crazy for wanting to go.
So it's game on? I'll be down at the Thistle to watch...yes I'd rather have scotch eggs than freeze my balls off..
Apparently Moor had some difficulty with customs in the UAE so he won't make it to Columbus until today and might not play. Grabavoy is expected to play significant minutes.
I just caught the last 25 mins.,what was the announced attendance? I hate when NCAA puts logos all over the field.

I really don't want to pile on a guy who basically carried St. John through the semi and into the final, but I've gotta say it; Gaudette really, really put his team in a hole with the way he set up for the freekick. First of all, he looked about a step too far to the center, covering an area his wall already (hopefully) was going to cover; as a byproduct of this, he couldn't even see the ball being kicked (see him crouching down there?) While Grabavoy hit it nicely, it was by no means an unstoppable shot; but thanks to his positioning, Gaudette didn't move for it until the ball was practically in the net. And from that moment on, it was an uphill battle for the Red Storm.
