Re: EWSU

Eastern comes back to beat Montana to go to NCAA. Who'd a thunk 
the Savages Aka Eagles would go while UW and WSU stay home. I'm 
sure my room mate Lyman Powell didn't either.

Re: 2015 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race

Some check points have a mandatory gear check: Huslia and Kaltag
(so far). Checking for sleeping bag, snow shoes, cooker, Heat, Vet
book. There will also be a bag check at the finish line.  I suppose
if they don't have everything in their bag, they'd be
disqualified???
