Believe

5 nights to go now. And in little over half an hour they will release the annual bracket and I'll find out whose team shirt I will have to buy for Friday's game at the United Center. Unreal. Then as soon as we fill in the field of 65, it'll be time to switch over to CBC to see if young Brad will join the motley crew of 1976 as Newfoundland's only Brier-winning skip in the 77-odd years of the competition.

Believe.

And you also wonder, at this time next week, will the Icelandair flights remain at current levels? Such foolish and brilliant thoughts, demonstrating once again that 2007 is indeed off to the grandest of starts.

So what happens next?


UPDATE: first, tough loss for Gushue, although hard to argue Howard wasn't deserving. And NFLD still has only one Brier champion. Kansas, Kentucky, Villanova, UNLV, Wisconsin - I'd say we have an interesting few matches in Chicago and I look forward to the atmosphere in a few days...
