I have a no-trade clause, son. If you want a Sioux fan over at NMU, we're sending Flar for Diva.

They'd still send us aparch as a fan to be named later.

A washed-up Board veteran has a no-trade clause? You don't even bring leadership to a contending fan base. You're the type of fan that is released before the roster bonus comes up.

I'd expect an 8th round 2014 draft pick in exchange for you.

He's more of the "has no talent, but can fight" fan. For a player comparison, see: Boogaard, Derek.

SloeVag couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag. You're looking for more of an instigator. See: Lemieux, Claude

That works, too. Although he threatens with his gun like Brashear with his stick.....

The Gopher fanbase can have ctf, but she has to live with Bakunin. Also, they get NMU8675309 and Twitch's hot dog hat. The Sioux fan base sends Flar and his pants to NMU for Diva and one of those rugby band shirts.

And if you're getting Aparch as a player to be named later, send TBA as the player to be named later.

Half of that is genius, the other half doesn't deserve a glance from your better half.

MN: gets 'diva, mel, huskynation
Foopers: get Flar, Scooby (to match season outlooks), CHA, and brianvf
UND: gets some land and trinkets, I mean, valuable gems.

whoa, hell no. If we're shipping vf, we're taking 'Bando, Twitch, and one of those suites at NMU's arena is named "The Dirty Suite"

Sounds like we have a deal.

You drive a hard bargain, Mr Gin. But it's worth it. Good dealing with you.

If you're taking Twitch, you have to take FTB&G. It's kinda like the Sedin twins.....they don't go anywhere by themselves.

Losing vf will be tough for the UND fanbase, but face it, he's in WI right now. You've lost him already. Might as well get something for him.

exactly.

And as for MNS and DL being losers...I just felt like stating the obvious.

So, I'm watching "Airplane" right now, and I envision a SloeVag/MNS experience while watching this. It's like a documentary.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 95: A USCHO Retrospective

So about the only good thing during this year's GLI was the entertainment I always get out of making fun of Michigan State and their fans as much as possible, regardless of the score. It makes me so happy to know that the best they can muster in response is a "SCOREBOARD!" chant.

Highlights from the MSU/RPI game:

-Singing the parody version of "On Wisconsin!" over "Falcone Fight" (both songs sound very similar, so the lyrics fit well)

-Every time their alumni band did the fight song 'tagline', our response was: "Burn! Burn! Burn, Couch, Burn! That's all they do at M-S-U!"

Huh?

The Sioux can't have me (and wouldn't want me anyway ). There are very specific "No Sioux", "No Spartans", "No Irish" and "No Buckeyes" clauses in my fandom contract.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 95: A USCHO Retrospective

Tonight at the GLI an awful truth surfaced that I feel I must call to your attention.

Michigan Tech was losing 3-1 at the start of the third period when nature called for me. While answering said call, Tech scored and made the game 3-2. Upon my return to my seat, I was soundly dismissed by the Misfits and Pep Band in attendance, as they believed this to be a direct result of my infamous "GLI curse." Their admonishments proved not to be in vain, as within two minutes Michigan scored to make the game 4-2. It was at this point that I hatched a plan: I would remove the hot dog hat I am quite well known for in hopes of tricking the hockey gods into thinking I was not there. Amazingly, the plan worked, as Tech promptly made it 4-3 and made a battle of the rest of the game.

Thus, it is with a heavy heart that I say that the curse of Michigan Tech hockey lies in my hot dog hat.

Indeed, something must be done to alleviate this curse. The offending hat could conceivably be locked in a vault and buried, or put in a museum or a big warehouse like the end of Indiana Jones. However, this would rob me of the crux of my identity as a college hockey fan. It would also prevent me from using the hat to win the attention of the fairer sex, as I did tonight. O Lodge, deliver your sage advice unto me.

Toss it down a hallway. Call it an "exorcism."
