Well, I'm not sure of the College Hockey content, since I don't recognize
most of the names below, but I'll comment anyway.
 
For those of you that don't know, Barb and Marge are two older ladies they
use in the Football advertising campaign.  They are the stereotypical
Minnesotans with the Fargo-esque accents and such.  I wasn't a big fan of
the campaign, but I did like the one where they ended every cheer with
"Cream the guy".
 
My other comment was did Governor Carlson buy that honor on his own, or
did he use taxpayer money?  What has he done in U athletics?
 
Ob hockey:  I saw Dave Spehar sitting out on the mall the other day
saying dispariging remarks to passers-by, I had started to respect him.
Oh well.
