It's Minnesota, dude. We have stupid names for teams.

Geez. Make sure, absolutely sure that he knows you won them. Otherwise, you will be setting that bar WAY high. What a special fun thing. That so rocks. For real.

Post by: SSG Snuggle Bunny on February 16, 2010, 06:13:24 PM: I won tickets to a Lyle Lovett concert last October. I have zero interest in Mr. Lovett but they made a nice present for my folks who were having an anniversary.

It was a trivia question: Horton Smith won the first one of these in 1934.

Me - The Augusta National

Host - Very good! So, you're a big golfing fan then?

Me - Not really. I just figured since you named a single person it wasn't a team sport and the big tennis tourny is in England so that left golf and that meant Augusta.

Host - (pause) I guess that'll work too.

Post by: jinxmchue on February 20, 2010, 12:29:43 AM: We got back from the game about an hour ago. It was AWESOME!!! We were in a skybox with a great view of the game and great food, too. And the Gophers absolutely pounded Colorado into the ice. The final score was 3-0 with the Gophers having the puck most of the time and making at least twice as many goal attempts as Colorado. My son got a cap, a puck and a free team poster as souvenirs. We'll remember this for a long time.
