"Up for Grabs" and Section 8 A and AA knows it!

and 11, well.........we all know where 11 goes.

Victoria's Secret?

Yeah, I can see you being real loyal if PR went to the dance...

A long history of smoke filled hotel rooms and Embassy Suites' happy hours disputes your assumption.

[Junior Samples]

section 8 dominates! it's a fact of modern day living.

like our old friend bluesbuddy once said,

dominatrix matrix may tricks

you have a problem with that, boy?

So junior, are you going to be in the rooms above the Liffey again?
And, also, where did you get the picture of my sister?

i won't be at the liffey, but i believe the person you think i am will be. funny thing, ole vidmeister's been telling me he's gotten phone calls from the likes of you about this very subject. even his brother slope slipper thinks i'm him. seems my attempts to be like him are convincing. personally, i don't believe he's been contributing to the "bored" lately although i am sure that he is reading it occasionally.

wasn't he banned years ago along with his sidekick, bluesbuddy?

of course he was.

i'll be at the st. paul hotel, aka "tower of terror"

You do know I was referring to SB, right?

He would never root for PR. If they ever made it he'd be up at the Liffey raising his glass every time they got scored on - regardless if Suzy wined and dined him @ the Chinese buffet...

you mean slap hooters will finally show up this year?

[elliott70]

Yup, that's what I mean.

Saving a spot in the box of the F150 for him to ride down.
He can role down the bank and find a spot next to the river, feel right at home.

No sir!

The topic is "Up for Grabs" and Section 8 A and AA knows it!

SS UNDEFEATED 28

Representation? Sure then. But whatever you do, don't say it's a strong section.

Section 7 is continually considered the best because it's deep. Section 8 isn't deep. They happen to have two powerhouses, but the rest of the teams overwhelmingly do not beat them in sectionals. The two are usually in a cake walk to the final, and Roseau didn't have to face anyone this year. Yeah, they're undefeated. They're great. But the second best team in the conference this year is pretty mediocre. Though I think Roseau could win in almost all other sections still doesn't undermine the fact they didn't have to face anyone in the sections. Every once in a while St. Cloud might take Roseau to OT, but for the most part the two powers blow out their way to the section finals. (Even poor old Bemidji, who hasn't been to the tourney in 20-some years, left for A.) And even the finals aren't that interesting part of the time since one is usually on while the other is off. The rest of the teams are at best the calibre of Section 1, except the southern teams really don't have powerhouses to contend with, which is why it's a better overall section since all the crappies are in a free-for-all. In section 8 it's for certain Roseau/Moorhead will be at state. Section 1? Hell, it's free game! Nothing's for certain, hence why it's a more interesting section.

So you're right that section 8 is the best because it produced the best team--a state tournament champion. But it doesn't mean the overall section is competitive. I'm referring to AA, although TRF beats Warroad about once ever 50 years, haha.

Actually, TRF does beat Warroad in sectionals fair times enough. That should read: TRF makes it to state once every 50 years, haha.

[Nostalgic Nerd]

This is just a fact, a fact of modern life.

Sigh. It is the one team who makes it to the state finals that makes them great. It doesn't mean the section itself is great because it's competitive.

'05 final: Lets assume the refs would've made the right call. That would've still meant the score was 5-5. But for arguments sake lets consider what happened. Even should Moorhead win, the idea that they were one of the greatest and most dominant teams would've ended even with a championship. They outshot AHA 40-18, but look at the damage AHA's speed did to the invincibles. AHA themselves were not considered the greatest team of the decade let alone any period! They scored on breakaways, one-on-ones, with quality chances on a team that was destroying the competition. So in effect even with the championship, that final game precluded them from being one of the best. Because the greatest teams blow their opponents out in the finals and leave a resounding statement. Moorhead did none of that in the finals. Suffice to say they were one of the greatest teams to not win, albeit some help. Truly a wasted opportunity by the Spuds.

I agree with you NN. Section 8, really ain't that great as far as depth goes. I tried explaining this to many a folk and it doesn't go over well. I'm a Section 8 guy, that doesn't mean we have to hide from the truth.

Thanks.

Look here Pinheads!

The name of this thread is not Section 8, Best in State, Deeper than Ol' Union Lake!

[packerboy]

slapshooter gets crabby when his concentration is interrupted.

Just to illustrate, here is a still shot taken from some rare footage of slapshooter making his predicitions for the tournament.

This footage was obtained illegally by Videoscout using a hidden camera.


You can see that he is deep in thought and disturbing his concentration at such times is not wise.

I think he also shakes that ball and words form when it clears, which is how he came up with "Up for Grabs" .
