Good Morning Lodge. The team Jr is helping coach won their last game of the season last night - against another Edina team. One team got gold colored medals, the other silver. Went to the 5th shooter in shootout to decide it.



It's a hunter, needs to get used to shooting. One of the coaches of the trap team brought his two labs to the range once last spring. The older, more experienced, dog was sitting in the pick-up bed just whimpering cause all the guns were going off and he wasn't being allowed to go retrieve anything.

You are correct. This dog is going to be a phenomenal hunter. Being that I'm not a dogologist I am unsure about a 9 or 10 week old pup getting exposed to a war zone and freaking the shiat out of him/her and becoming scared of gun shots.

So what exactly do I need to do? :)

Historically, you have to post who got the goal (that is who gave you the Rep that got you to Maxrep which is 2,147,483,647) and who got the two assists (two previous Reps). Of course it has been several years since anyone paid attention to that, so the requirement will be waived. :D

Not to mention, not everyone signs reps, and not everyone pays for a USCHO Extra subscription. Plus, in my case, I got dinged just before getting up to max, so I only had one assist.

I think I found the client that's going to skip the shovel beating and get cold cocked.

Oh my god I want to break something. Anyone ever buy a house get a home warranty and actually try to use it? home Warranty of America is the worst.

I just go in circles with them on the phone and every time TD a different answer that cancels out the last 2 days of phone calls.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #174: Spring Cleaning

JJ, I don't know how you deal with that one particular poster in your fanbase...you had a recent argument with him/her. Seems like a complete dullard. You're spot on, in what you're saying about your team. Its ugly, and there's no use in sugar coating it and hoping it gets better. Say it like it is and try to drive some change.

As you know, we were in the same boat several years ago. It took a massive investment in the program, and hiring a top of the line coach. The coaching staff's first priority was to eliminate the losing culture that overtook the program for about 20 years. Since then, the results speak for themselves.

That losing culture is cancer. What we saw at Tech was that promising Freshmen and Sophomores hit a wall after their sophomore seasons, the theory was that after that point they were used to the losing, came to the conclusion that they weren't going to change it, and mailed it in. We rarely had upperclassmen that believed they could win. One of the few exceptions during that terrible run was when we had exceptional senior leadership, and the team out-performed their abilities, because they actually worked hard, and believed in themselves. Disappointingly, the next season was back to the same old ****.

Having Tech at the old Final Five was a freaking blast that year, BTW.

Ugh, I don't know what it is. I was being honest when I called him and Suze delusional. They just have this fear of being negative it seems, like the players are fragile little children or something. If you notice, neither could directly answer my question. They seem to be living in a fantasy land.

I honestly do not like the fanbase that posts here for UAA. They're really quite embarrassing.

You think you have an embarrassing fan base that posts on USCHO? I'm sitting at my desk wearing a "I like beaver" T shirt and a s&ss. ;)
