Are we talking David Lee Roth Van Halen or Sammy Hagar Van Halen? Gary Cherone Van Halen...no thank you.

I thought we were doing obscure 1980's bands...Van Halen is pretty much a 1980's heavyweight, but I'll play along and raise you one famous Whitesnake video scene and one Little Caesar...

Summertime girls...great song.

I'll spot you that the album cover is pretty good, but "Cherry Pie" is just an absolute BRUTAL song...

Another tough day for DSU...the softball girls' drowning wasn't that long ago...another sad day for Dickinson athletes... http://www.thedickin...ticle/id/70144/

Ha! I was just thinking the same thing about 10 minutes ago when reading the Matt Cooke thread comments...

You're NOT inviting Extreme but Warrant is already on board? C'mon! I'll see your Enuff Z Nuff, Danger Danger, and Autograph and raise you White Lion, Hanoi Rocks, and Tora Tora. I'm throwing in Saraya and Lita Ford too, for good measure...

Welcome to the board, Governor Dayton. So a guy who will put almost $150,000 into the state coffers isn't paying nearly his 'fair share,' is he? After all, the top 1 percent of taxpayers in Minnesota only pay 24% of the total income tax collected in the state and the top 5% only pay 41% of the total income tax collected. Since I'm not in either category, that certainly doesn't seem fair that the remaining 95% of the population has to pay 59% of the total income tax collected, right? Maybe when the top 5% is paying 99% of the income tax in Minnesota, everyone will be happy. Only problem is, that 5% will be living across the border in Hudson, WI... But let's not get bogged down in political banter...Matt Cooke is still a TERRIBLE signing for Minnesota.

Mr. Big...Quiet Riot...Skid Row...Def Leppard...Stryper...The Scorpions... Anyone remember the all-girl group Vixen?

I saw Cinderella back in the summer of 1989 in Grand Forks. They were there with BulletBoys and Winger. PURE AWESOMENESS!

I guess I have been away too long...I believe you are correct. That area is still by the Sacred Heart River though, right?

No reason to post...but only 99 more to 6,000. Another 16,000 and I'll catch Goon...

Steering this back in the right direction...rumor is Keith just didn't like the dumb-a** Mankato green grass green, Iron Range Red, and Moorhead Wheat colors of the WIld jerseys...

Legislation passed in May 2013 established a new personal income tax bracket. This new top tier applies a 9.85 percent rate to taxable income above: • $250,000 for married people who file a joint return, or qualifying widows(ers), • $125,000 for married people who file separate returns, • $200,000 for heads of households, and • $150,000 for single people. That's a pretty good chunk of change for Mr Ballard...

I don't know...maybe that brand-new tax bracket that just went into effect?

I'll start the massive PM machine up as soon as I have everyone's totals. No sense in PMing you twice, first with my address, then with the total amount due. # of hats, monikers, etc. has all been passed along to the vendor in Fargo...just waiting to hear from them regarding finishing up the order and the shipping date.

Yes, I was referring to Ballard...probably shouldn't have said 'plenty' of folks, but my sources are a couple of people within the U of M hockey program and someone with the Wild. None gave specifics but stated that he was not happy about returning to Minnesota.

Or I could send it home with my folks in a few weeks and you can pick it up at their house on Highway 85 about 10 miles south of Highway 22!

It says STANDING BUFFALO on the jerseys...above what looks like to be the 'old' Fighting Sioux logo.

How about signing another guy who according to plenty of folks, has ZERO interest in being back in Minnesota?

So how do folks feel about the signing of Matt Cooke? I'm not a Wild fan, but my first thought was 'yikes.'

**Note: If the afore-mentioned poster is usually wrong, then is the previous comment about being wrong actually incorrect?

I'm sure a lot of folks have already seen this on Bryan Lundbohm, but in case you haven't... http://und.edu/features/2012/03/all-in-the-family.cfm

C'mon, you can come up with something better than that, can't you?
