I am still interested in a replica.

Maybe not the animal rites crowd, but people who practice Hinduism...

If this was a painting by a Native American, I know there would be tons of symbolism in the picture. There would be a reason for the Native carrying the Protection Shield with the American Flag on it, some reason for the number of Eagle Feathers, reasons for the colors and items on the staff of the spear, and on the beadwork on his clothing. There is also a special meaning for the face paint and for the things he is wearing on his head. Native Americans love to use that type of symbolism in their artwork. Is the American Soldier a Native American? If so, I would guess that the Native American is protecting and guiding the soldier. Also, they are in a jungle. So are they in another country (Viet Nam)? Are they fighting for "our" country?

Now, why doesn't this surprise me? The NCAA is now causing problems on the reservations. Standing Rock Sioux table discussion on UND nickname I have a hunch that this is why the Spirit Lake Reservation did not want to address the issue at their tribal council meetings. Yet, you see many many native people wearing the "Fighting Sioux" logo. In fact, I think I see more Ft. Totten folks wearing the logo than I ever have in the past. Or maybe it is just that I tend to notice it more... but I don't think so.

Thank you to the Standing Rock and the Spirit Lake Nation People for their support.

I gave the Red Seal Peach link to my 26 year old daughter and she told me she heard a "horrible noise" coming out of her computer. It was just Fabian.

Thank you Lee Marvin. Everytime I see that name I get that "Paint Your Wagon" song in my head. It's been fun watching that lucky #13 out there. Best wishes to you in your future.

It was a pleasure to watch you these 4 years! I knew from the first game I saw you in, that Mike Prpich (but it took me awhile to remember how to say that last name) was going to be someone special. Thank you for showing us that smile!

"High Fives" to YaneA!

Yeah, it was actually early at most stops.

We got here at 2 today on Amtrak. We have been busy warming up bar stools! We are staying at the Ramada, its a walk, but not too far.

But for the Frozen Four (and all NCAA events) the NCAA rules take over the arena. (Like the no beer thing.) The WCHA Final Five lets you bring in video and whatever. The Ralph is usually picky about cameras, but during the World Juniors, you could even use video. I checked before I brought it.

Hey thanks!

The one place I hadn't looked yet. At least I got that "Fan Guide" thing read front to back.

Updated Weather Report. Maybe when we all get there the sun will come out! Thursday: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high around 53. East wind between 10 and 14 mph. Thursday Night: Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm. Cloudy, with a low around 43. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Friday: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 51. Friday Night: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 36. Saturday: A chance of showers. Partly cloudy, with a high near 48. Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low near 34. Sunday: Partly cloudy, with a high near 53.

I have been searching to see what type of camera is allowed into the Bradley Center. I can't find anything. Does anyone know the policy that the NCAA has for the Frozen Four? At the West Regionals I was told I could not use the longer lens that I had, so I didn't bother taking any photos. I imagine video camera are not allowed at all. Anyone know for sure?

Oh, I think there will be interest in rubbing this in Gopher face for years to come!

And I have actually heard some Gopher fans admit this. For example. One Gopher fan, who watched it on TV, said it looked like his team was just standing around waiting for someone to "give" them the national championship. I can deal with that type of fan.

And just how do you know this?

Where in the world do people come up with these things?

Wow, I am away from my computer for awhile and all this fun stuff happens. Do I understand that replica jerseys are still a possibility? My daughter is working in St. Paul as a server (for now) and I think it would be fun to have Gopher fans wanting to throw things at her. Oh wait, the tips wouldn't be very good then, would they?

You might also want to bring your umbrellas as it is supposed to be raining Thursday and Friday. Also, the temps are ranging from 36 - 57 degrees. Good North Dakota jacket weather. Or are you ready for shorts?

That's just gross. Sex with a fugly badger.
