Re: National Semi-Final: Minnesota vs. North Dakota

a second tree.

What are we supposed to say to the One True Tree--that we just decided we needed another one?

Besides, why clutter up an otherwise beautiful landscape?

Chick-fil-A and a Chipotle to be named later.

You can keep the oil! We'll never share delicious Chipotle and Chick-Fil-A. You can have Popeyes for free though. Maybe we'll throw you Sonic too.

Re: National Semi-Final: Minnesota vs. North Dakota

So why is Minnesota getting credit for Ryan Getzlaf again?

Just showing how UMn's contingent in the NHL is just a Ryan Getzlaf away from being able to out produce ALL THREE of its FF opponents combined.


irrelevant as far as this season is concerned. But impressive no less.

I think I'm liking this type of thinking... NoDak is only a Lake Superior State away from having TWICE AS MANY national titles as the goofs. Great idea fredsdeadfriend.

Btw, I can point to one source of indoctrination, his name is Ross Bernstein. lol

I have every one of his Mn based Coffee Table books.



And a little more of "tArrogance" for you all.

UMn's contingent in the NHL + Ryan Getzlaf have scored MORE points than all 3 of the other Frozen Four participants contingent's combined have scored.


UMn after yesterday have 461 pts in the NHL. Ryan Getzlaf has 83.

Union, BC & UND combined have 541.

But, if you take away all the goals Keith Ballard has been responsible for, that number goes down to 127.....

An offer you can't refuse:

If Minnesota wins, we give you 100 virgin goats--Minnie fans are happy.

If UND wins, you guys ship Freds to rural Iowa where there is no internet access--everybody is happy.

Says the guy who can't resist responding to my posts...


And my complex is what exactly Dr. Slappy?

Can't wait...

Concerning NHL point Totals by UM alum vs Rest of the field.
Good thing nobody compares their program totals to a little high school a just south of the cities.

Shattuck Alumni that play in the NHL


Joe Corvo – Ottowa Senators
92 goals / 210 assists
Drew Stafford – Buffalo Sabres
135 goals / 162 assists
Jamie McBain – Carolina Hurricanes
23 goals / 57 assists
Jonathan Toews – Chicago Blackhawks – Team Captain
195 goals / 245 assists
Patrick Eaves – Detroit Red Wings
74 goals / 72 assists
Jack Johnson – Los Angles Kings
43 goals / 143 assists
Zach Parise – Minnesota Wild
240 goals / 259 assists
Kyle Okposo – New York Islanders
99 goals / 155 assists
Derek Stepan – New York Rangers
71 goals / 122 assists
Sidney Crosby – Pittsburg Penguins – Team Captain
274 goals / 491 assists
Chris Porter – St. Louis Blues
10 goals / 15 assists
Ryan Malone – Tampa Bay Lightning
175 goals / 190 assists

Am I missing anyone?

Well, first of all, those look like career totals, I was only listing THIS years point totals.

Secondly, can't hardly count, for example, Okposo against Minnesota, when he ended up going there to play, or Parise against UND, when he ended up going there to play, etc..


But you are welcome to compare that school to another high school team. I'm sure Warroad or Eveleth, among others, would be more than up for the challenge.

This is a stupid topic, even for this thread...

Re: National Semi-Final: Minnesota vs. North Dakota

What is your obsession with this baby blood drinking? Not sure where you are getting that from. Ancel Key's made a significant contribution to the Allied War effort in WW2. And he is also widely praised for his starvation studies done started during the war and continuing on after. It is probably because of everything he did in the first 50 years of his life that he was able to garner so much respect for the research he did in the 2nd half of his life. Regardless of what he did after that, in of itself, his contribution to the war effort during WW2 was what I was focusing on.

What Keys has done since then? His science was flawed, go figure?! lol, he was in his 40s BEFORE the end of WW2. That should give you some perspective. He was old and set in his ways. As he got older his science started to be more and more biased, but he wasn't a quack. He was right in part, and the media helped create the problem you seem to be blaming totally on him by doing what they do, they try to MAKE news and focus on sound bytes, not comprehensive looks at studies and research. He was publishing articles in the 80s still, and was in his 80s by then. How many 80 year olds do you know who aren't kind of set in their ways? And he was a middle aged man before the US even got involved in the war. People back then were even more set in their ways than people today.


But like I said, he got the nation thinking that they need to watch what they eat, and he was right about that and his contribution to the war effort shouldn't be dismissed either. You think UMn people should be ashamed of him??? And your saying he supposedly was a cherry picker? Are you so sure about that? He may not have been totally right in all of his conclusions, but it wasn't because of cherry picking as much as a too narrow focus on finding evidence to back up what he had already determined to be true. He was in no way a quack, but he was a brilliant man, but as history has shown us, even brilliant men can come to false conclusions and/or can fall prey to bias or narrow mindedness or focusing their research in an effort to find something they believe is true. Whatever. For every Ancel Key's that may have been a little off about SOME of his conclusions, but not all, there is a Norman Borlaug and dozens of other food and health scientists that were trained at UMn that more than make up for what some guy born in 1904 did wrong when he was in his 60s-80s and beyond. And also Keys was one of the few that did not buy into some of the trendy fads that were widely accepted by most others for sometimes long periods of time, only later to be found that he was right. So was he perfect? No. Was he brilliant and did he make some major and significant contributions? Yes.

You have issues.
