    Re: St Louis Finalist for 2013 or 2014 Frozen Four

    Over the last few years I have been fortunate enough to attend the Frozen 4 in St. Paul, Columbus, St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Denver and I would return to St. Louis in a heartbeat...had an absolute blast there all things considered. Good restarants and nightlife, nice arena, Ryan Duncan winning the Hobey, etc. My expereince might be skewed a little bit by the fact that our hotel screwed up my reservation and my stubborness in dealing with them led to us having their Presidential Suite for the weekend!
    While some schools need to restock the cupboards with talent every 2 or 3 years, UND just builds more cupboards!!

    The most storied program in the history of college hockey, the UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING SIOUX!

      I am interested in the Loo, never been there. Have heard good things overall about the city (except for East St Loo, of course).

      Hopefully the timetable works out with my budgets.
      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.

        Double box.
        lol this whole discussion was apparently about lakes--why would I take that out when it is relative? My whole point is that the diversity of activities based on availability of water sports and beach towns provides unique opportunities in Michigan that are not found most places in the North.

        And the whole reason I brought up Michigan in the first place was not to tout the place, but in comparing sizes of cities where St. Louis is more comparable to Detroit as opposed to Boston or Washington.

        Some of you are good at fishing for controversy.

          Well, when you brought up the more lakes bit, I searched it out, and all sites dis-counted the Great Lake(s). Only fair and relevant that you do the same with the shoreline.

          You have a stick so far up your arse that I'm surprised that "would" isn't the first word that comes out of your mouth when starting a sentence.

            I'm done arguing with you. I guess depending on a particular source items will be counted differently. My post wasnt at all saying "were better than you" it was more just stubborn pride in defense of a post that made a brash rationalization.

              And I'll echo the statements that St Louis wasn't that bad. We stayed near the rink in a super nice hotel (pretty cheap with an awesome Frozen Four special rate - nice touch!), and there wasn't much to do near the rink, but over near the Arch, there seemed to be more life, including an AWESOME blues bar.

              I was hesitant about watching college hockey in Missouri, but I would go back again.

                Like "Boston fans suck" or "Michigan is better than 47 states." Right?

                  um...yes. That was exactly my point in making that statement! I was playing along with the game.

                    I knew the game before you started your ignorance, Scooter. And nice backtracking. You'll fit in just fine around here. Right alongside of Happy, SIM, uwbadgers14, VarsityWisconsin, and HokyDad.

                          Wow, your parents weren't too subtle in telling you that you weren't a planned pregnancy.

                          Cripes, the only way they could've been more blatant is to say "Ok kids, we're taking a vacation in Compton!"

                                Yes, I've been to Michigan. It's lovely. The glow of the tire fires at dusk is quite romantic. I'm not sure what 47 states Michigan is better than. For you to say this it's obvious that you have not travelled to more than 3 states in the US of A.
