Update from the Minnesota State High School Hockey tournament, the alma mater of the other three contributors to this fine blog defeats my alma mater:
2A quarterfinals: Benilde eliminates Woodbury 4-1
Isn't the lifetime handicap of an inferior public school education enough for you people? You have to crush our dreams in sports too? How much is enough for you? How many boats can you water ski behind?
That's it, I'm voting for Obama.
The Elder Throws A Butt End: You're whining about the exclusive suburban enclave of Woodbury losing to a small Catholic school? Please.
Enrollment at Woodbury (grades 10-12)? 1847
Minnetonka (9-12)? 2600
Eden Prairie (9-12)? 3267
Lil' ol' Benilde only has 1124 students for grades 7 through 12. Instead of mourning the demise of another Goliath, you should be cheering for David.
SP WHISTLES A PENALTY: Yes, but it's not like BSM is taking from a geographically limited population base. Like any exclusive private school, they draw from all over and of course recruit, I mean just happen to attract, the finest players in the area. Poor lil' ol' Hill Murray has been doing that to Woodbury's finest for years (what's their head count?). Which makes me suprised to see the scrappy, proletarian Woodbury *ahem* Royals at the State Tourney at all. Even in loss, its a victory for the people! You cake eater! O-ba-ma!
The Elder Comes Out Of The Box Like Dino Going After Tim Trimper: Two words for you my friend: open enrollment. Unless you think it's just a coincidence that year after year Hopkins gets all the good basketball players, Eden Prairie gets the best gridiron talent, and all those parents from International Falls are being offered jobs at Marvin because they're window experts, you have to acknowledge that recruiting is not limited to private schools.
By the way, it looks like those working class "Royals" (whose coat of arms no doubt includes the $) in Woodbury are doing okay for themselves. According to CNN Money Magazine the Median Family Income (per year) in 2006 was $95,695 and the Median Home Price was $250,000, Come to think of it, I guess that does sound like the demographic sweet spot for Obama supporters after all, doesn't it?
