I saw some youngsters at camp who might make some noise this year, and maybe serious impact next year. Will you be making it to Portland for any games? I'll buy you a Coor's Light at the MC if you do. (And none of that stinkin' pinky-extended microbrew!) Lots and lots of Hawks fans here…

I based what I wrote on your comment on <a href="http://afterthewhistle.blogspot.com/2007/08/pause-rewind-replay.html#comment-7454454409213429060" rel="nofollow">Andy Kemper's blog</a>: "I first learned of this issue last week. As soon as it was brought to my attention, I phoned the Winterhawks owner and learned what the issues were." Regardless of what happened, Hawks fans owe you a lot of gratitude for stepping in and bringing everybody to the table. I was seriously concerned that the Hawks' ownership group was going to bluster their way into a corner, and we'd never see the replay screens installed. You really saved their bacon, and also worked a deal favorable to the city. Thanks for that! Thanks for the clarification, Randy.

I am excited about the Winter Hawks prospects next season. I hope to see you there.

Wooooooo!!!!!!! Although I do feel for the poor bastard who had to dress as Tom-A-Hawk in front of the city council yesterday. That couldn't have been pleasant duty. You think he did the Cotton Eye Joe when they passed the resolution? Woo!

I'll finally have games to go to. Sort of. Just as long as they get enough kids to start it up.
