    We'll see the end result. Good luck dealing with Murphy's ego and attitude problems. It will really help the team.
    Known her for years and you couldn’t be more wrong and inappropriate
    Perhaps a little green with envy...or envious of green...

        You do see that by posting this, that it is a glimpse of your character?
        At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

          Very little gets deleted unless a flame war breaks out where posters start getting very personal.

          Overall, the women's forum tends to be kinder and gentler than the men's, both in treatment of players and other posters. Coaches and officials are abused in both. On the women's forum, most posters tend to be classier than aequum, although being a jerk to someone who is just wrapping her HS career does happen from time to time. Some people tend to be both brave and irresponsible when hiding behind a computer. I wonder about anyone's motivation to join a forum specifically to trash some kid.

          I don't know anything about Murphy as a person. If it should come to pass that she arrives at Minnesota with some growing up to do, that certainly isn't unprecedented. I think that is true of the vast majority of players and students in general. Those like Hannah Brandt and Lee Stecklein who are wise beyond their years from day one are rare indeed.

            We try and keep it classy on the board. I'm sure every team has to deal with ego and attitude to some extent. How many players are ever happy with their roles on a team? Life is all about dealing with challenges and issues, success and disappointment. It sure is a bigger challenge for an 18 yr old than a 52 year old. To most 18 year olds everything is either red or white, but to a old fart like me, it's mostly different just shades of pink.
