Texas Flag

If I recall there were people with a Texas flag in/around section A. Is that still going on? I havent' noticed it from my vantage point in front of the band. If not, I'm going to bring one tonight. I'll probably bring it anyway. Any thoughts?

Just make sure the ROTC attendees don't mistake it for an Iraqi flag or there'd be one heck of a skirmish.

I think the guys that did it last year graduated. Mike "ack" usually has a sign that says "don't mess with McKee" with a picture of the flag on it, but thats about it. Dave the zamboni driver had a small texas flag yesterday with his cowboy costume.

Alright, I'll have it then. Let's Go Red

Y'all guys get over the rink. It's past six. Those of us remote, it's time to get iMix or iMixedUp sports loaded.

I brought a Texas flag to one game last year (I'm from Texas), was in Section B, right next to the aisle between A + B. Only brought it one game, cause people were giving me wierd looks wondering why I had a Texas flag

Heh. You should've seen the looks I got at MSU when I was wearing a huge red foam cowboy hat. It's cooler than it sounds (good thing, eh?).

Dave's parents came right over to say hi!

Eh, I brought it. Seemed well received enough. And don't worry Bill, I was there before warmups started. Too bad with the shutout. Oh well, next game.

Losing the shutout isn't just hard on Mckee and Cornell. It's just going to make it harder for the story writers. It would be so easy to type, "Cornell's stellar sophomore netminder David McKee tied Big Red legend Ken Dryden's career shutout record this weekend with back to back blankings of RPI and Union in the seniors', but not Mckee's, final regular season home game with a 4-0 win over visiting Union. McKee and Dryden both have and had 13 shutouts - but the lanky Lone Star state native and NRA lifetime member has as many as 75 games remaining to improve on Dryden's mark of a baker's dozen shutouts."

It would have been even easier for the scribes if both weekend scores had been 3-0 or 4-0 but alas that didn't happen either.

There is Moulson's third year of at least 1 hat trick per season. They can use that.

I'm sure I left out at couple cliches but I've had a bottle of wine which makes me either incapable or writing good prose or even more journalistically inclined. Y'all decide.

The sign has been taking a little bit of a beating, but it's hanging in there.

Yeah, he seemed absolutely devastated over it.
[q]I actually didn't know about the record. I try not to read that stuff. I just want to go out and play every game one at a time.[/q]
His dad, however, knows precisely how many he has

That quote just shows that McKee has paid attention in his Sports Cliches class. He's legally required to say the same thing even if he was devastated.

I just want to help the team.

We've got to play them one at a time. And the good Lord willing. Things will work out.

Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob.

Just don't call for help the day of the Daytona 500; He is otherwise occupied then.

The flags were because Friday was the "Battle of Texas." It was the first time in NCAA history that two Texan netminders faced each other. This was the reason why there was a large contindgent of Texas flags, as well as why Dave choose his cowboy outfit for that night.

Second time.... Martin relieved Jordan Alford at RPI (yanked after one period) back in January.

it was the first time both starters were from Texas

I took it one step further to say that McKee was the only good thing to come out of Texas, ever. (Let the politics flamewar begin.)
