Sounds mysterious but glad you had a great time there

LOL

Hockey is boring until you get to the Stanley Cup then and only then does it get interesting for at least one game.

I thought watching bowling or golf was the most boring thing but watching hockey is right up there.

Sorry but could never get into the hockey thing.

They might as well just play an 20 game schedule and who wins the most goes to the Cup against who won the second most and get it over already.

Back to watching Tiger Woods chip shot.

Golf is interesting for the strategic shots but hockey is exciting in terms of action.

(Btw Sandy - your Rays staved off elimination hah - interesting playoffs

)

Not my Rays. I grew up a Reds fan and have been a Red Sox fan since the Yankees started buying winning teams in the 90s.

So for the past 14-15 years a Red Sox fan I am. Love the gritty never give up players they always seem to have.

Not a Rays fan at all and never will be although the coach is awesome and they have a few good players.

Ah my bad - guess you were speaking of the stadium in older posts.

I was figuring Red Sox would close them out last night - Big Papi Ortiz!

That is because it is close to me and I attend some games but not to see the Rays.

We also hit a lot of spring training games.

But no Tampa Bay Lightning hockey for you...?

Hockey in Florida is like swimming in Canada.

No wonder we get so many Canadians down here stealing our weather.

They are trying to build a huge soccer stadium now.

Kids here play football, basketball and baseball year around and I have never seen one carrying around a hockey stick yet.

Thus the reason you see so many NBA, NFL, MLB players from Florida. And hockey players from Canada.

We have had college scouts at my kids HS games from LSU, USC, Notre Dame, Ohio St, UCLA, Texas, Oregon etc watching two local kids who will be NFL players some day. One reminds me of the linebacker from South Carolina that is so good. Big, strong, fast and puts a hurt on opposing teams.

Went to a hockey game in Pittsburgh many years ago because all the talk was about how great Mario was and you had to see him play.

For me, I would rather watch grass grow.

Long boring night. That is how much I dislike watching hockey.

And this is coming from a sports crazy family and all state girls basketball player.

rsot · #21 10-08-2013

Huge soccer stadium being built?

I know of those scouts...high school...dreams

Sandy D · #22 10-08-2013

My kids school has 3 nfl players, 2 nba players and 1 mlb player and the school is only 10 years old.

Great athletes here. Scouts are always around.

Les Miles spends a lot of time here during off season. See him at restaurants.

Urban Myer has this area on lockdown for Ohio St after leaving here to go to Ohio St. from Florida. Getting players looked at in 9th and 10th grades trying to get them to go to Ohio St.
