Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

This isn't some goldeny showery kind of sleazy secret is it??
Wingah (legal USCHO name is winger, used to live on the east coast) hates pants. Her greeting to the board was "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Old USCHO meme.

Minnesota is hockey. We're arrogant because we're Minnesota.
I've never truly understood why anyone would have a US license plate...when they could have a Minnesota plate. Seriously. Minnesota really is at the top end of what the US brings to the table:
Minnesota had the top rated city in the country the past two years (Plymouth and Eden Prarie)...and 5 of the top 20 cities in the US this year (Money/CNN)
Minnesota has more Fortune 500 companies per capita than any other state. The state’s dynamic economy has increased the number of Fortune 500 companies from 14 in 2000 to 21 in the 2010 rankings.
Hennepin County in the Twin Cities ranks second nationwide in the number of new plants and expansions (48), according to 2010 rankings by Site Selection.
Minneapolis-St. Paul is America’s third-best city for young professionals, according to 2010 rankings by Forbes. Indicators for these rankings include cost of living, large companies, elite graduates, average income, and unemployment.
Minneapolis-St. Paul is the fourth-best metropolitan area for business, according to 2009 rankings by MarketWatch.
Minnesota is the fourth-most competitive state, based on 2009 rankings by the Beacon Hill Institute. The state ranks particularly high in human resources (second), public safety (third), and technology (fifth).
Minnesota residents rank fifth in labor force participation rates in the nation (71.9 percent), according to 2009 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Twin Cities metropolitan area ranks fifth among financial hubs in the country, according to a 2010 article by the Wall Street Journal Digital Network. The Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area is home to U.S. Bancorp, Ameriprise Financial and the Ninth District of the Federal Reserve System.
Minnesota ranks sixth in patents per capita in 2009, surpassing other high-tech states such as New York (15th), Texas (17th), and Illinois (19th), according to the Beacon Hill Institute.
Facts speak for themselves.
Totally. The state of Minnesota tends to rank in the top five or ten on many important socioeconomic factors, hockey being one of them
Minnesota really is at the top end of what the US brings to the table:
Minnesota had the top rated city . . .more Fortune 500 companies per capita . . . second nationwide in the number of new plants and expansions . . . third-best city for young professionals . . . .fourth-best metropolitan area for business . . . fourth-most competitive state . . . . fifth in labor force participation rates . . . etc etc etc
And still nobody knows how to pull into the intersection making a left on green.
The Lakers left because they didn't have set stadium to play in.
The North Stars left because they didn't have a NHL caliber stadium to play in.
The state of Minnesota really isn't a "pro" sports market more like Denver.
Slap Shot - 444 might want to consider a restraining order. dggoddard - Minnesota is THE ELITE Program in all of college hockey. wasmania - you have to be the very best to get ice time with the great gophers!
No. What that means is that DirecTV customers in those states get FSN (and FSN +) as part of their package (assuming they have a package with their local sports network, which pretty much every package, except the lowest, has). Customers outside of those states have to purchase the Sports Pack in order to get those channels. It's something like $10-12/month, and can be cancelled at any time, so if you want to watch the games call DirecTV up, get the Sports Pack, and then cancel after this weekend. They may try to charge a $10 cancellation fee on top of the prorated monthly amount for the Sports Pack. Obviously, you could also keep the Sports Pack going forward as well.
Thanks for the info. Of course now it's all irrelevant since NESN is picking up the game.
