i'm embarassed to say I don't know if the Brotens played together.

I'm sure there are a lot more.

Yes, Neal and Aaron played one season here together--their sophomore season. Neal won the Hobey, and both turned pro at season's end. The Potulny's both had pretty good success while year, as well, and shared the '03'-04 season.

I think Ryan came in the year after Dan left ('96). I believe the Alms in the '50s, Larsons in the '70s, and Richards in the '80s also make the list of noteworthy players, but I could be wrong. I don't remember ever hearing about 3 at the same time, though.

Edit: apparently I was beaten to it while typing.

Yes

More from Roman's article on the Reilly's a while back........

Roman wrote:Three brothers have played for the Gophers at least three times before that I am aware of, but not at the same time.

There were the Hankinsons:

Peter was a Gopher from 1987-90, Ben from 1988-91 and Casey from 1994-98, so only the two oldest overlapped.

There were the Brotens:

Neal from 1979-81, Aaron from 1980-81 and Paul from 1985-88. Only the two oldest overlapped.

There were the Michelettis:

Joe from 1974-77, Don from 1977-80 and Pat from 1983-86. No overlap there at all.

Before that, in the 1950s and 1960s, there were four Alms, Gary, Larry, Richard Lee and Michael Alm, and the four Merediths, Richard, Robert and Wayne and later John Meredith (1977-80). ... Not sure how they are related. Might have missed another three brothers somewhere in Gophers history. There are 11 Anderson boys who have played for U, six Johnsons and eight Larsons, etc.

Pretty sure the Merediths were all brothers (even John, who is considerably younger). I think the Alms are all brothers also. Reed Larson had a brother Wayne who didn't play with him. I think he was in the same recruiting class as Mike Ramsey. Doug and Ron Peltier played together.

Now that the ground has thawed, is it too early to fertilize? I realize it's MN but we don't have a single low predicted for anything less than 40 for 10 days out and even if it found a way to snow it would melt and be no worse than rain. If it's this warm this much sooner than normal would that not mean potential weeds would begin to germinate that much sooner as well?

Just laid the crab grass killer down today...I have grass shoots coming up and ground cover next to the house is an inch tall. Do it this weekend and again in 3 weeks. I usually do the broadleaf killer/fertilizer around mid april...it's a weird year and I think we are 3 -4 weeks ahead of the curve.

Each section has their own lyrics to the parts that aren't "Go Gophers" or "Ski-U-Mah", so you're probably just hearing a different section (tubas?). As far as I know, trombones still do "burrito", and have since at least since 2005. :good2:

Are there any other options for cable in Minneapolis besides Comcast? I think we are going to get out of our contract with them and look elsewhere.

I was looking at Century Link, but it looks like they are hooked up with DirecTV, which I would assume require a dish. We are in an apartment, so I would assume satellite is out of the question.

Each city negotiates which cable provider is available in that city. There are no others available. The concept is that cable providers pay to put in the infrastructure at their cost and should be able to make their money back.

Dish/Direct are options. I think may apartment buildings allow for this (or may be mandated to). Verizon Fios may be also. That comes in through phone lines if I understand it correctly.

As bad as Comcast may seem I have never had another option be compelling enough to get me to switch.

when i called to cancel directv a handful of years back, i told them "my new apt won't let us have a dish." they said "they are not allowed to do that, they can only say you can't have them installed on the exterior of the building." so, i was supposed to have it in my living room pointing out the window :lol:

It was a review in the GF Herald by their restaurant critic abot the Olive Garden...and you would think she was reviewing some five star place in Manhatten the way she broke down every detail of the cuisine and such. It is an overblown joke but funny.

Yeah, somewhat of a dumb one too. One of the writers, who is 304 years old, for the GF Herald does a column on resturants up in GF/EGF and she did a review on the Olive Garden up there. It wasn't anything spectacular or funny or life changing in the least. Somehow it went viral very quickly. I don't get it. I guess there isn't much else to talk about up in GF this year..

EDIT: Yeah, what handy said.

When I first read the Olive Garden review I have to admit I thought it was hilarious. Then when I found out it was written by an 85 year old woman I felt bad for her and thought all of the piling on was in bad taste. I say good for her for still writing reviews at her age and if she thinks Olive Garden is great, what the hell do I care?

Personally I thought it was great. It was the complete opposite of most reviews. No pretention whatsoever.

by **psych** » Tue 3/27/12 10:17 am

She'll be fine, sunbone. She probably is a Whioux? fan after all. :wink:

The fact that every Olive Garden is nearly identical is one of the reasons her review makes me laugh. That, and it probably IS one of the nicest restaurants in that post-apocalyptic looking wasteland of a town. She could have been to the Olive Garden in Madison, TN, and written the exact same review. It is a chain restaurant, not some small mom-and-pop Italian place. That said, I would never personally attack her character for writing something like that. I am laughing at the article (her writing style in that specific article), not her, if that makes sense.

Agreed. I finally read the review after the joke was a week or so old, and I was expecting it to be this outlandish, over the top review, but it wasn't. Just a pretty positive review of a restaurant, I didn't get all the hooplah.

Planning a trip to/from Banff in late June/early July. Have never been there before.

- we're planning to take an RV (3 kids in tow, ages will be 7, 2, and a 1 month old); can i get away with a C-class RV (better mileage I've read), or should I suck it up and get the class A? How difficult is it to acquire the special license for either? (are they even required in MN?)

- Banff: what are the must-see places? Is it RV-friendly to a point, or would we need to rent yet another vehicle once there?

- Calgary: only planning to spend 1-2 days tops there; what places should we hit?

Any other pointers are mucho appreciated!

Went there for my honeymoon 25 years ago. So it probably as changed some.

Visit Lake Louise it is a glacier fed lake that is a color blue that is beautiful. You can ride trams up the mountains and see mountain goats and beautiful scenery. We also canoed on the Bow River and went on a horseback riding trip. They also had a buffalo sanctuary when we were there.

Plenty to do and good places to eat.

As far as a special license to drive them non is needed. Just check with your insurance agent to make sure you are covered for any loss or consider the coverage the rental place provides.

I rented an RV 8 years ago and it was a class A. We had 4 adults and two kids and pulled a skid loader trailer to bring along a car to drive once we got there. Feel free to PM or call me with any questions.

Harding's last years as a hockey school where in the early 2000s. The St. Paul schools have been doing Co-op hockey since about 2003. It was down to Central/Highland, Como Park and Johnson with Harding kids playing for Johnson, then Central Highland dropped in about 07 and they joined Como's team, and now they have enough kids again to form their entire team.

So now it is back to Como Park, Highland Park (which encompasses all the other St Paul city schools including Harding), and Johnson.

Back in the day, when Macs weren't very prevalent, I know when saving stuff from one for the other, there were only a couple formats that were usable cross-platform (jpgs, tiffs, etc). But nowadays, I thought that gap has been bridged quite a bit?? My dumb question...being in the design biz, I've only ever worked on a Mac. I did a brand guideline for a client and created EVERY POSSIBLE version of their logo (ended up being about 45 files). I saved them as eps files. Are eps files still not "usable" on a PC like jpgs or bmps are?? The program I used was Illustrator. And I KNOW Adobe makes versions of that for PCs, and eps files are the MAIN file type that program creates. So I just assumed PCs could "use" eps files, too. But I was just asked if they could get all the "Mac" files as "PC" files. No way do I wanna save 45 files 3 more different ways. Ugh.

EPS files are able to be opened on PC's, but you need Illustrator or Photoshop to open them. I would assume that they do not own the full Illustrator or Photoshop package, and are more likely asking for a version that they can open with a PDF viewer or something like that. Just a thought.

I am pretty sure that you cannot paste eps files inside of MS Office docs - you will need JPEG or TIFF files to do this.

- we're planning to take an RV (3 kids in tow, ages will be 7, 2, and a 1 month old); can i get away with a C-class RV (better mileage I've read), or should I suck it up and get the class A? How difficult is it to acquire the special license for either? (are they even required in MN?)

- Banff: what are the must-see places? Is it RV-friendly to a point, or would we need to rent yet another vehicle once there?

- Calgary: only planning to spend 1-2 days tops there; what places should we hit?

Any other pointers are mucho appreciated!

Can't say it is necessarily RV friendly but "Going to the Sun Road" in Glacier National Park is said by some to be the most scenic road in America. Even though it was cold and rainy on my bike trip there, it was an all time favorite. You are pretty much straight south of Banff when there. I got a Grizzly on video while there. I'll never forget it.

My dumb question... Does anyone know where to buy hot tub chemicals at a reasonable price?

I inherited a fairly new hot tub when I moved into my house 3 years ago (don't really like it and rarely use it, but I digress). Anyway, I usually go to the pool store to buy this stuff (chlorine, shock, PH balancer, stain remover, etc...), but the prices they charge are insane. I've checked at places like Target, but they don't seem to carry it. Wondering if they sell that stuff anywhere else.

Can't help with Banff. But I grew up on the eastside of Glacier National Park and the family cabin is on the westside of the Park. If you want any info on Glacier, shoot me a message.

Would prices at Watson's or whatever be any better? Otherwise you could try www.hottubworks.com/

When did they drop boys' hockey from their program?

Harding's last years as a hockey school where in the early 2000s. The St. Paul schools have been doing Co-op hockey since about 2003. It was down to Central/Highland, Como Park and Johnson with Harding kids playing for Johnson, then Central Highland dropped in about 07 and they joined Como's team, and now they have enough kids again to form their entire team.

So now it is back to Como Park, Highland Park (which encompasses all the other St Paul city schools including Harding), and Johnson.

FYI Harding's colors are Scarlet and gold in case you still needed to figure that out.

Thanks for the information.
Just out of curiosity, is there any particular reason why neither MNHockeyHub or minnhock show Highland Park as a co-op?

It may be that there are no players from any other high school on that team. With St. Paul's open enrollment, they may all go to Highland now....

Mills Fleet Farm might have them.

That's an interesting thought. It does make it very confusing, however.

Anyone know of a good place to watch the games beside Campus Pizza? I love CP ( as my cc bill during hockey season will prove), but I won't be able to make it there until just before game time, and I'm sure all tables with a seats close to a the TV 's will be taken. I need a good spot with good fans around me. Any suggestions?

CPhockeyman (Jim?) has said he's going to reserve a table or 5 for GPLers in the Final Four Gathering thread if you're interested in that.

In the early departures thread, someone made mention of stores not opening before noon in ND. Can someone please elaborate. All stores? Certain types of stores? Certains days of the week?

Any type of retail stores (Wal-Mart, Target, Home of Economy....), except gas stations.

Edit: Sunday's only

I stopped at the library on the way home today to pick up some CD's and logged in here before going home. I wonder why the guy next to me is shopping on-line for women's shoes.

[edit] Ok now the creep is looking at lingerie and swimming suits. As much as I enjoyed hopping on the net here away from the wife kids I gotta get away from this dude.

Maybe he is looking for something to buy his fourth wife for her upcoming birthday?

What TV station/time will the game be on again? I'm trying to convince the USO that carrying the game live is in their best interest.

Tell them it's a matter of national security. There's a certain Fin you need to keep an eye on.
