Fine, but if you throw in the 1980's Miami Hurricanes and the Brian Bosworth era Oklahoma Sooners, it DEFINITELY tilts the scales!

This is all a gigantic Yankee imperialist lie. Phil Kessel is still in Minneapolis and will NOT be going to Boston. Do not let Bush Jr. deceive you. Number 26 will be a Gopher for four years...

Wow, first this... ...then this... ...followed by this... ...and still later, this... ...and now, Sioux and Gopher fans all sharing a laugh on a Phil Kessel thread? I think I'm gonna go puke now.

I wish you had a job PERIOD! You need to move out of my mom's basement like yesterday.

Marquis Weeks, Virginia tailback, with the quote of the year for 2005... Virginia Football

Not that there's anything WRONG with that...

The one part I found interesting was this quote from Lucia: "We've kind of moved on." That's pretty tell-tale stuff. It sure sounds like Don wasn't amused with the will-he-or-won't-he process either.

Glad we could amuse you, FIRE HELMET GUY. I went thru some of this thread again and started laughing out loud. Now that Phil's gone, though... ...I wonder if his schwetty Gopher hockey equipment will be for sale soon on Ebay.

Hey, smart aleck, I'm about 70 miles north of that area and travel down to Mankato pretty much every year the Sioux play there. I'm completely familiar with the area.

I know there's really not a forum for other college hockey program discussion, but being a fan of sports logos, changes, and history, I thought this was interesting. Nice improvement by RMU, in my opinion. I watched them play at St Cloud last year and was not impressed with a building as their primary logo on their hockey jerseys. From this... ...to this.

Well, I didn't want to specifically point that video out. I'm probably in enough hot water already over some pics that wound up on "KESSEL UPDATE".

Great team they had then, though. For some funny stuff related to that 1991 Stanley Cup series with the North Stars, I suggest checking out the link below and clicking on the "Bellows" video. Careful, though, it's not exactly language suitable for kids. Great Hockey Videos

Great pic...but is that a PITTSBURGH PENGUINS STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS T-SHIRT? Dude, time to go shopping. That t-shirt is 14 years old!

Mock this thread you will not!

Uuuuuhhhh....huh huh huh huh...he said 'whack'...

In all seriousness, I reallly think Boston should think this thru. They threw Joe Thornton into the fire and crucified him when that didn't pan out in a positive way for him OR the Bruins. Immediate captaincy and monster expectations were too much for Joe. They shipped him off to San Jose where he is thriving. Given Phil's personality, or what I hear about it, it certainly sounds he isn't the type of kid who should be thrust into the role previously occupied by Thornton.

Coach Lucia also expressed his dismay at a press conference late this afternoon...

Apparently so! I told some of my friends who are Gopher fans and caught their immediate expressions with my camera. They are quite stunned!

What was that, HockeyMom? I can't hear you.

A new poll of Gopher fans shows that 34% would like to see Phil Kessel stay in school and 66% would like to meet him at 5:00 tonite for Happy Hour at Blarneys.

Hmnnnn...we need another viewpoint to know for sure...

The 1.09 is actually Russian rubles. And this one time...at a strip club...just outside of Volgograd...
