Anyone remember the Fargo Forum or GF Herald pic of the two guys shoveling snow...Haywood Jablowme? I can't find that thread anywhere...

I certainly wouldn't go that far...but I'll play along and keep the daily deep thoughts coming... St Thomas Academy being booted out of the Classic Suburban Conference...couldn't happen to a nicer school. Word is they are going to have trouble finding a new home... Since I'm in charge of picking the songs that go on my iPod, imagine my surprise this morning when shuffle turns up "Shoes" by Styx and my first thought is, "REALLY? That's one of my top 2,000 songs?". I love Styx and have seen them in concert five times, but, wow, that song isn't one of their best, to say the least. I don't know how anyone could watch the Boston Bruins national anthem being sung last night and not get misty-eyed. Little known fact that most teams in Canada sing 'Oh Canada' the very same way...with the guest leading the first few words or first verse and then turning it over to the crowd. If you haven't seen it before, I suggest checking it out on youtube. Whether it's Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal, Vancouver, or Winnipeg, it really is something to listen to, particularly during the playoffs. News media crying about the lack of a retractable roof over Target Field...boo hoo. How do they ever play baseball in Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia...

In the hands of the pros? I thought you were e-mailing the artwork to ME?

Wait a second...what happened to the member # notation by your user name? Adding this uo, it looks like I'm member #44. I could have sworn I was always 43...

LOL...oh here we go...

Nice to see you join the party, AZSIOUX. You always have good insight into recruits. What's your secret?

Any insight on the candidates? I don't know anything about them other than what I just read on USCHO.

Well THAT helps explain the fuster-cluck search...

I don't know why it's not a done deal already! He's practically begging Maine for the job...and they're dragging their feet.

I was being facetious... Two months sounds like the max and that they'd like someone hired before then...really don't understand their process though.

...hopefully it's not a precursor to a league-wide extravaganza in 2015...GROAN.

My post was worded rather poorly. I should have said I pretty much have those same thoughts whenever I go to the Mall of America, which, although it isn't often, is often enough to be nervous.

All the cool cats signed up in October of 2001...

Yes, I love Urban's approach: "I know our coach got canned and we got caught doing all sorts of shady things...hell, this stuff has gone all the way back to Maurice Clarett reporting his car being broken into and filing a false report of that incident while making the call from Coach Tressel's own private office...but nevermind that stuff, let's use the angst of being slapped on NCAA probation to our advantage and go kick a**!"

Yea, I was cheering for Yale all weekend. That group was fun to watch...just too bad they weren't wearing green jerseys instead of navy blue. You know what's not-so-funny...is that I had those same heebie-jeebies that you did last week when I went to the Mall of America. Something about being there makes me think it's a perfect target...

Like X 100. Rumor out of Columbus is that Osiecki was fired for asking OSU's AD for an extra $50 to help fix a couple of broken helmet visors after their CCHA semi-final loss. This was shortly after Urban Meyer's request for $1 billion dollars for football stadium weight-room renovations was approved.

It still made you look though, keikla! Don't blame me...blame Blackheart.

I see the NHL is absolutely shameless in promoting only a couple of teams...they could hold a game in Fargo in the parking lot of the FargoDome and draw 40,000 people to see Winnipeg vs Minnesota...but why do that when you can have the Rangers play outdoors twice in three days?

http://www.pressherald.com/sports/maine-begins-the-search-for-a-new-hockey-coach_2013-04-17.html Maine apparently hoping to have a new hockey coach hired by the time the puck drops next fall...

It's official. The NHL outdoor games have jumped the shark.

I apologize for misinterpreting your comments and rushing to judgement on them, Sioux-cia... How was Pittsburgh?

Either that or Goon was out-posting you by a 200-5 count every day and you just gave up...

A little research this morning turned up the fact that Kevin Bui, #4 for QU, will turn 26 years old on Sunday. I guess there is some truth to the previously-posted Gopher fans information regarding the Bobcats...

I hate haters.
