Let's stay with the 70's. My favorite Doobie Brothers song...and often forgotten. Even better live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksQ8F560WJA...feature=related

R.I.P, Mr. Fogelberg...you are truly missed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgRoR4PFv0w

It doesn't get any better than 70's lite pop. Here's two of my faves, but the list could go on forever... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn-enjcgV1o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K48LeQjmHPA...feature=related

Great stuff with the Bros. Johnson and George Baker, very solid. Here's the original version of "Little Green Bag". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L1hD5OlPtw

Right. Also, no trip to Minneapolis for the Sioux next season.

Jackson has a great vision for that program, and I think we'll be seeing a lot more of them on a national scale on his watch.

It's a pipe dream, but I'd love to see it at Madison Square Garden. That would be an interesting mix.

We may not have the numbers, but pound for pound we have the greatest fans in the world. Ran into so many great Sioux hockey fans and other hockey fans at Brooklyn's we lost count.

That sucks about the hotel. We stayed at the Doubletree, about a twenty dollar cab ride to the Pepsi Center, and they were great. The NCAA Powerlifting Championships were going on there as well, which made for some interesting elevator and lobby B.S. sessions. I didn't know such an event existed....they didn't know about our little party, either.

Your instincts about tickets in Denver were right on the mark, MafiaMan. I've never seen anything like it at a Frozen Four. Cheapest opportunity we had before faceoff was $300 for a pair. After driving through a blizzard in Nebraska to get there, we thought about it for a second, then dug in our heels and told the scalpers to get effed. Met many great Sioux fans at Brooklyn's during the game (many filed back in during the 1st intermission). Twenty-twenty hindsight, but in poker terms, that was a good lay down given the hand that played out.

Confucius predict ugly helmets turn water at bottom of Pepsi Can into whine for Touchdown Jesus.

Man on little blue pill best reach for little black book!!!

..rickety old arena cause UMD hockey program to go to 'Dogs!! http://www.umdbulldogs.com/mens/hockey/ind...p;story_id=3971

...Goofer fan who talk too much $hit end up staying home in John!!!

...man who watch too many Maria Sharapova matches...soon develop tennis elbow!!

....Blake Wheeler like cheap friend at dinner....always skip out on check!!!

...Sioux fan who see team go in toilet in December rewarded with trip to Can in April!

If it's upper level you can move down later without any worries.

Not everyone. Don't let tickets stop you if you can work the other stuff out.

I hope you work something out, It'd be fun to see you down there. Can Mafia Jr. go to school Wednesday and miss only two days?

That's always spun as a vote for the other party.

TBD. Will be tougher than St. Louis, but rolling the dice.

Lots of hand wringing and teeth knashing, who's going, who's not, flying, driving, hotels, how many nights, tickets, etc. Flying by the seat of your pants is FUN!

Drive to Toronto, jump on an Air Canada flight to Winnipeg, and drive down to Grand Forks.
