She noted that it was settled largely by Norwegians who crossed a whole ocean and half a continent until they found a place that was just as cold and miserable as the place they left. They named it "Minnesota" which is a Native American word meaning "weather sucks big wompum". Still cracks me up. 🙂 Chuck
rockyroad Originally posted by mplagrow If you reffed GA, have you also reffed MLC from New Ulm? That's my alma mater. If so, any opinon on them? Sorry I can't help you on GA, I'm in Wisconsin now. Nope...I had GA in a playoff game way out here in Washington (that's state) last saturday...I believe it was a second round game or something like that...if all coaches are like that back there, it might be worth the weather and bugs!!
Dubby I worked Gustavus three times this year and that is how she always is. She has always been a class act. Most of the coaches in the MIAC are good to work for but she is at the top. This year I gave one T in that league and it was the first in five years. I definitely can't say that about the high school coaches!
mnref14 We have our share of annoying coaches on the High School and College level. The Men's MIAC coaches are not nearly as friendly.

I'll ditto that working at both levels. We may have some mild mannered coaches up here but we certainly have our share of hotheads and jacka$$es too. I think I probably had 10-12 technicals in the 60+ HS and college games (excluding AAU and Rec)I worked this year and maybe 3-4 of them were issued to coaches. I guess I allow more rope in some instances though. However it does seem like up here the decent (mannered)coaches do outnumber the howlers.
williebfree There is STILL plenty of Minnesota "ICE".... All the better for the brown pops! Wondering. Is Hamms still "from the Land of cool, clear water"?
TriggerMN Hamms is from "The land of sky blue waters!" Get it straight, cheesehead! 😉 At least you Wisconsinites have Leinenkugel's and know what FIB's are...
mnref I had Gustavus womens last year and the coach was just as nice as in rockyroad's game. As stated, she is typical of most of the coaches in the MIAC (except for the mens side) Hamms, the beer refreshing ... and only 10.49 a case
