sprig Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Probably the last thing we'd care to watch, but, at any rate, the presentation by the President to the Goph hockey team is about to be webcast live: http://www.whitehouse.gov Good b&w webcast, looks like. Also, the UMD womens' hockey, Syracuse mens' BB, UConn womens' BB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyeagle Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Not an attempt to flame. Thought some of you would enjoy seeing GF native Grant Potulny presenting the President with a Jersey during today's ceremony. Here is the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If only we had Belfour Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I have to admit that it is good to see GW honoring all of the sports. Good for them. Do any of you remember when Ronald Reagen was at teh Hyslop sports center in about 1987 or so and he wore the old fighting sioux hockey jersey. NOw that would be the picture to have.

Here is the link. Quit flaming our board and go back to POI Thanks for the link. It was nice to see NCAA hockey get some recognition, even if it was the Rodents. Hopefully next year it will be a Sioux jersey that is being handed to him ...(sorry, I couldn't resist)by Parise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyeagle Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Quit flaming our board and go back to POI That is why I posted the link and not the picture. Way off topic, but will ZP wear the "C" next year? Interesting if he does as a SO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I wouldn't be surprised to see Zach wear an "A". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Boy Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I've now had to watch a Republican President present honors to the Gophers the past two years. Enough to turn me to voting Democrat. Funny, but long ago when Potulny first annouced he was a Gopher, I posted on some message board (perhaps here, or USCHO-- I have no record of this) some joke about how great it would be to see the lone NoDaker turn the program around, beating UND, and winning the NCAA title with all the Minnesota fans screaming his name. Ugh. Be careful what you wish for. heh, heh. Congrats again to the Goofer. Truly an impressive run. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and sob uncontrollably for a few minutes. taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think G Dubs would prefer to present the honors to a state that actually voted for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Boy Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I blame this whole mess on Krys Kolanos. His overtime goal kept the Fighting Sioux from taking the rightful honors as first B-to-B champs since BU. Yeah, it's Krys' fault. Can't believe he chose BC over UND. Now he's a Coyote. Probably a Democrat too. Blah. taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Boy Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 The picture is in Virg's Fight On Sioux book. I was there actually. I believe it was in 1986 when Reagan was in Grand Forks campaigning for Sen. Mark Andrews..who ended up losing to Kent Conrad. I was there as well! Was playing in the marching band (forgive me), and we were cranking out "In Heaven There Is No Beer" when The Great One looked up at us and said something like "You make beautiful music". Definitely a generous comment. I read in a book that Reagan was always a big fan of marching band music, and loved hearing tunes like "Hail To the Chief". A very memorable experience that unfortunately didn't help Andrews much. By the way, did you catch Sabo's comment regarding the Goofs and GWB: Said U.S. Rep. Martin Sabo, D-Minn., "It simply proves that Minnesota is the state of hockey." AAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGH!! heh, heh taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyeagle Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Well the female UMDers were there too... The GWB Presidency is working out very well for the Gophers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BisonMav Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Taz Boy Posted on Jun 18 2003, 01:17 PM A very memorable experience that unfortunately didn't help Andrews much. Andrews lawsuit against St Lukes (Meritcare) killed his political career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
