[quote Jim Hyla]Does this mean we have to start cheering "You're not Dave" at home games?::whistle::[/quote]

I sure hope not.

I'm still holding out hope that Dave may want to keep resurfacing the ice during games, on a volunteer basis, and that the university will allow  him to.

Perhaps I am being ridiculously optimistic. It wouldn't be the first time.

Your hope requires the administration to not suck.  Don't hold your breath.

As part of the contract between the University and the employees who chose to take the early retirement, the employees can still be employed by at the University as a part time employee (20 hrs/wk with no benefits).  So  there is a way for Dave to still be around on game nights to do the ice, but I seriously doubt that the athletics dept will hire back any of the employees who left.

From Dave's last game, March 15, 2009.

Good luck Dave!

I still like that nobody noticed that the Pepsi logo was applied upside-down.

I'm actually rather proud of the fact that I wouldn't have known that if you hadn't mentioned it.

If we're going to talk about logos, this may or may not have been corrected, but at one point the Shortstop Deli ad on one side advertised sodas for 09c and on the other side for 9c. (The 09c is visible in Age's photo.)

You both still recognized it as a Pepsi logo.

One of those rare moments where I'll proudly agree with Kyle on something other than "Let's Go Red!"  I can't imagine anything sillier than caring whether the red half or the blue half of the Pepsi logo is supposed to be ascendant, or the fact that one or the other is "supposed" to be ascendant to make the logo "correct" in the first place - and the fact that I recognized it as the Pepsi logo still doesn't make me want to drink anything other than Coke when I desire a cola beverage.

09c or 0.09ยข?  Are we talking Verizon Math here?

It's summer on eLynah.  By August this will look like an important and poignant discussion.

And this from one of the most pedantic members of our community.  ;-)

Wow, that's a lot more words, thought, and effort than I meant for anyone to spend about that.  All I was going for was to make someone else smile and/or post a funny comment like Kyle did.  As I said in a PM to him in response to his pride of not noticing, I'm pretty ashamed that I even noticed it at all back the fall.  Someone somewhere would care a lot because they pay money to get their ads juuuust so.  And the fact that it isn't makes me a smidge happier.

I ran into Dave downtown last week and he expressed a desire to keep driving for games only.  But, he vaguely mentioned "rules" in the midst of a "I'm not sure" section of the discussion.

He did say that it would be nice to have evenings and weekends for himself.  I don't think he meant the games, but the other responsibilities.
