  • Ncaa Conference Championship Weekend Trash Talk
    NCAA CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND TRASH TALK In the Pros and Joes discussion, this weekend features the Joes. It is the conference championship weekend, and the final action before the Final Football Four are selected. So, let’s start there. Utah was well on its way to a potential Championship final four appearance for the Pac-12. Nope. The Oregon Quackers made the Utes Duck. Bigly. Oregon undoubtedly goes to the Rose Bowl, and who knows about Utah. Their extremely good defense was shredded by the Ducks. Ouch. There are five more critical games on the schedule today, and Cincinnati and Memphis for the AAC is the lesser of them, though it may well be a fantastic game. It is in Memphis at Liberty Bowl stadium, so I will roll with the Tigers at their home. With the Utah fail, that means Baylor versus Oklahoma (shoutout to our departed friend Freepatriot, who loved the Sooners), may well mean a final four berth. It is a neutral site. Something smells of a Baylor upset, but the Sooners are now coached by Line Riley as opposed to Bob Stoops, so I don’t think so. Sooners. The B1G Championship is played in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Would be a fantastic story if Wisconsin could beat the Bucks, but that is a bad bet. Virginia may get Cavalier and upset Trevor Lawrence and Clemson, but it would be shocking. Clemson and Lawrence started a little slow this year, but are undefeated and are averaging 50 points a game since mid-October. That leaves the big one, i.e.

  • Iron Range Tourism Bureau
    >> >> The Range is a region of northeastern Minnesota that sits atop the largest iron ore deposit in North America, and is surrounded by glacial lakes, rugged forests and unique terrain. It’s a heritage-rich area where spending time outdoors – at the lake, in the woods, on the trails – is as much a part of life as an appreciation for mining, the industry that keeps the economic wheels turning and the landscape an ever-changing marvel. Iron Range Culture The Range is known for: Hard-working and fun-loving people - Always happy to tell a story, take a novice angler ice fishing, and share whatever’s in their cooler on a hot day, Rangers have a passion for the outdoors and strong ties to a shared past. Four seasons of diversions - From fishing, biking, golfing or boating to hunting, skiing, curling and hockey, the Range is a sporting paradise with outdoor recreation that’s as challenging, competitive, leisurely or laid-back as the participants choose. A history worth mining - Settled in the late 1800s by immigrants from dozens of European nations, the Range was once a true melting pot, where vastly different ethnicities were thrown together in the workplace and ended up building much more than communities. A taste for tradition Rangers love a fish fry or BBQ as much as the next person, but most have a special place in their hearts, and stomachs, for traditional ethnic foods like pasties, sarmas, potica, cardamom bread, mojakka or lefse. General Information Who gets to call themselves a Ranger? The Range is a nickname for a region that includes the towns of Hibbing, Chisholm, Buhl, Mountain Iron, Virginia, Eveleth, Gilbert, Biwabik, Aurora, Hoyt Lakes and Embarrass.

Before UMD became a coordinate campus of the University of Minnesota in 1947, the site of the present day campus was nothing more than brush and woods. By the early 1950s, though, the campus was al- ready taking shape with the Science Building (now called the Chemistry Building) and the Physical Education Building in place. Administrators had a far-reaching campus plan for UMD's orderly development to 1970. That plan envisioned a student body of 3,500 by 1970. More than 5,000 students actually were enrolled by then. Today, as indicated by this year's record enrollment of 7,700 plus students, UMD continues its steady growth. The school offers more instructional programs than ever for both undergraduate and gradu- ate students in six colleges and schools with major fields of study in everything from the natural sciences and social sciences to the humanities and fine arts. UMD offers two years of basic science in the School of Medicine with students transferring to the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities School of Medicine following satisfactory completion of UMD's program. Students choose from 72 graduate majors and 1,900 courses. UMD offers four associate (two-year) degrees, 10 bachelor's degrees, six master's degrees in 17 fields and has programs leading to teacher licensure in 41 areas.

  • Four More Fantasy Camp Coaches Delivered in Time for the Holidays a Limited Number of Spots Remain to Be Filled for the Camp
    DATE: December 14, 2014 CONTACT: Jon Lundin, ORDA director of communications, ([email protected]) at (518) 523-1655 ext. 5313 Four More Fantasy Camp Coaches Delivered in Time for the Holidays A Limited Number of Spots Remain to be filled for the Camp LAKE PLACID, N.Y. –This year’s group of Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp participants have been good boys and girls this year. Santa checked his list, checking it twice, and found that none were naughty and all were nice and left four new coaches under the tree for the April 3-7, 2016, in Lake Placid, N.Y. Santa’s little helpers added 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey gold medalists Bill Baker, Rob McClanahan, Mark Pavelich and team assistant coach Craig Patrick to the coaching staff that already featured 11 players from the historic team. These four join the staff which also includes Neal Broton, Dave Christian, Mike Eruzione, John Harrington, Steve Janaszak, Mark Johnson, Ken Morrow, Mike Ramsey, Buzz Schneider, Dave Silk and Mark Wells. Following the 1980 Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, in which he scored the game-tying goal against Team Sweden, Baker went on to play for the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens, Colorado Rockies, St. Louis Blues and New York Rangers. Today, Baker lives in Brainerd, Minn. where he works as an oral surgeon and maxillofacial specialist. McClanahan scored five goals during the Olympic hockey tournament, including the game winner against Team Finland. That win secured the improbable Olympic gold medal. McClanahan later went on to play in 224 games with the NHL’s Buffalo, Hartford and the New York Rangers.

BEGINNINGS The current Garden - located between 31st and 33rd Streets and Seventh and Eighth Avenues on Manhattan’s West Side - is the fourth building (third site) to be named Madison Square Garden. Garden I was located at Madison Square: 26th Street and Madison Avenue. It was originally opened in 1874 (at a cost of $35,000) by the legendary P.T. Barnum as “Barnum’s Monster Classical and Geological Hippodrome.” However, it was soon renamed “Gilmore’s Garden” when the lease was auctioned off to bandmaster Patrick S. Gilmore (the term “Garden” was used often during this period to denote a place of public gathering and entertainment).
