Re: Northern Michigan University 2018 Offseason Thread: In Memory of Goofus
A sad note.... one of the Cats greatest fans, the legendary “Goofus” aka Alan Ammesmaki, passed away yesterday. Will never forget the polkacello and his boisterous cheers and moonshots at Lakeview, the Berry and many other places the Cats would. Always boisterous. Always classy and always positive. He’d never rip the other teams, coached or players, just cheered on his Cats with all his heart.

You're welcome for us sniffing around at G-Money. Almost guarantee that's what got him the new contract.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

While I'm tipping my hat to MSU and their fans, I feel that there is one guy I have to point out. Regrettably,I did not ask his name when I was talking to him. Anyway, he was one of about 10 MSU fans who had the nerve/guts to show their faces at the UMaine pep rally before the game. He was dressed in green, and was basically a one-man-band with several instruments. He performed a dance which the crowd thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately a few of the fans were out of hand and began to shout insults at the man. But the guy knew that they were a small minority and continued. Throughout the rally, and of course during the game, his smile never left his face. He was a real pleasure to watch and meet. I just wish that more fans were like him.

Sorry for your loss NMU fans.

Anyone think this is a hasty move? Very good raise after only one season, but glad you might've found the one.Just to be clear. My disinterest in this team became of the Uni's disinterest. Without the success of the hockey team, the other teams would not be where they are. Way to pay back the hockey team. **** UAA.
