As Homer J. Simpson would say, "It's so funny because it's true."

Mmmmmmm . . . Malorie Keaton . . . maybe it's the "special episode" where Alex is using speed to help him get through thre pressures of his high school tests. Or maybe I'm confusing that with the "special espisode" of Saved By The Bell with Jessie on drugs? Or was that Blossom . . . no, . . . Diffren't Strokes I think . . . Enough already, I've got to go to the mall and pick up a Walkman so I can some new tapes of all the bands you guys have been talking about. Maybe I'll stop by Spencer gifts too and pick up a new poster.

Check that. I think I better have a Pepsi Free instead - too many Funyans . . .

That can be the only possible reason for hair loss - especially if we both used LA Looks . Time to put in some Firehouse into the tape player and have another New Coke.

Ahhh . . . to remember the days of using LA Looks or White Rain. Now, grooming takes much less time

During my short lifespan here, I've been a fan of the pre-Madonnas . . .

It's pretty normal for a kid who leaves his hometown or state to be arrogant towards those he "left behind." I felt the same way when I left for Mpls. It lasted a few years during my early-to-mid 20's. Then I realized there were more and more things I missed about ND. Now, I'm trying to find my way out of here . . . A lot of "kids" feel this when they leave, unfortunately, his reckless thoughts and ramblings got published.

It sure beats having to listen to the Don Lucia Show here in the Cities . . . thanks PCM!

A tape is what you put into your custom Craico or Jensen stereo cassette player/receiver with four pre-set radio stations (XL 93, Rock 107.5, Magic 96 and Y94) in either your 2 dr Blazer or your Firebird . . . the ladies dug it . . . heck, I even had "auto reverse" my man.

Scary . . . I think I saw Richard Marx at the Hyslop with the girlfriend. She liked Bartles & James wine coolers and I think I had a Members Only jacket. OMG, I think I had a Vanilla Ice . . . tape . . . oh boy.

I think that makes sense with a Gopher logo though . . .

I went to my first game at the new Ralph this year. Granted it was against Bemidji, but the crowd wasn't as firey as it used to be at the old Ralph. The new building is beautiful, but we commented on how the crowd from the 80's and 90's (myself included ) was way more into the games. I miss pounding on the corner glass and rodents being thrown on the ice. . . ahhh the scorns on TV from Pat Sweeney . . . Perhaps the newness factor will wear off and things will get back to the good 'ol days.

I think I love you

Schools are my concern about Bemidji. One plus about TRF is that it's only an hour to the best college hockey (no, not Bemidji ).

My folks are going to retire to Bemidji and have a place there already. I go up to Bemidji quite a bit and would enjoy living there for the most part (plus they get the SSN ). Brainerd has about everything the TC's has but TRF may be the best fit job-wise.

I'm considering moving our family to TRF to take a job. We currently live in the Twin Cities but I grew up in Grafton and she grew up in Park Rapids so moving back to a "small town" would be nice. I haven't been to TRF in a long time. Is there much there shopping-wise, schools, entertainment, etc? We're also considering Bemidji and Brainerd area. Please let me know any thoughts on TRF . . .

The merchandising is a good idea (especially with no advertising). I'd also thank to thank the admin here and the people at the REA and the U's SI dept. - while there were hiccups in getting broadcasts, they always responded to questions and comments Also, did anyone have a "grinder" at Sensors last weekend? I thought the attempt was good but it was served on a real plate - not what I remembered in GF with a soggy 1-ply paper plate. I do hope they bring them back for next year though.

Unfortunately, I only found this web site this year but have been a fan since the 70's. I moved from ND before the internet wave and only kept track of Sioux hockey through the newspaper snipets. It's great sharing and seeing the enthusiasm for the greatest game in the world. This web site and the people on it make Sioux hockey that much more enjoyable. Let's go Sioux!

I thought they called the game fairly well and didn't make up too $%&* as they go. I hope they use Thrusday nights crew instead of the afternoon's whistle-happy crew. The Guyer dive should have been though called and it should have been 4 on 4 instead of the PP. Not that it mattered in the outcome, but what happend on the Goph's second goal when Parise was on his knees and the puck flew by? I'm very happy I only have to hear "Paris-say" one more night from Clement (this year). Let's Go Sioux!

As I said on another post, it's a no-brainer who wins . . . all of the teams the Sioux have beat in the playoffs have either worn red or maroon jerseys. Next up the Pies with the red jelly donut jerseys. Coincidence . . . I think not

I hope the Sioux play and win with the same class as they've shown. As what someone mentioned earlier, "scoreboard" would be the best revenge. That being said, I would like to see someone check the $%&* into the Sioux bench. You know you're in the height of hockey season when you come up with these prognostications - all of the teams the Sioux have beat in the playoffs have either worn red or maroon jerseys. Next up the Pies with the red jelly donut jerseyes. Coincidence . . . I think not

I love it when a local writer rips on the "holyer than thou" Gophs. Just love it. Can't wait to hear Puffy today!

Oh my. The Don's Crash Davis impersonation at its finest. Gimme a break!

CC. Although I think we match up better with the Pies.

I thought refreshing this web site every few minutes was part of my job description - along with browsing USCHO, INCH and GPL. Work? Not today. T-minus seven hours to Bloomington.
