I'm sure the dog sledders have to rest after the mail leaves Winnipeg heading west to Brandon.

Wow, shots at my home province and the city where I went to university all in one thread, I'm impressed. Oguru - are you a Beaver now? If so, I've got a couple of ex-players of mine that will be playing for you.

The "Barley Pop" Bar (a city landmark) was just torn down this week. Not much left in Minot.

Oh wow...Barley Pop is gone? wow..that place was a staple for Minot football players hehe. As long as they have the Lamplighter, Blind Duck...Minot is still resort-esque.
On a side note, ....go beavers.

I wonder how many dollars with quarters were stuck to the ceiling of the barley pop. I bet enough for Ruby to take a nice trip. From what I here, Ruby opened up a new Barley pop, much nicer and just a block or 2 south.
Had many a coaches meeting in there back in the day.

Well, that settles it...I have to get my big ole butt back down there soon to see what's going on. I'm feeling awfully nostalgic right now. Come to think of it I was at the Barley Pop for a couple on the night that I proposed to my wife. And no Jay, I didn't propose at the Barley Pop - even though that would be my style.

Ol' Suger Ray lives about 15 min from me, I see Monilaws and Danks every year at the NDSU clinics. 1992, the year we made it to the final four. I coach against Rob Cullen up here in Brandon and our kids play on the same youth league team. Make sure to tell those guys I say "Hi". Danks and Gackle belong to this site but I can't remember what their usernames are. |
