Thanks tomASS for posting that nice picture of Mitch and Lee. Its rare that you can get a good shot of them together.

It looks like this photo was taken while they were monitoring the board and reviewng a naughty post that contained some political content.

Boys, I am afraind youhave this wrong.

It is not Mitch and Lee.

It Lee and Mitch. Which makes it an even more rare (or rarer) find.

I lost all respect for those guys after they let John Stamos tour with them.

Not because they lost credibility, but because they broke up Jesse and the Rippers over it.

Lee and Mitch will be so proud of us that we have stayed away from the private vs. public debate and focused our efforts on them.

Well done gentleman

Elliott has it right. After seeing The Boss last Friday, its obvious that old men and old songs(or a sound) are the best.

As far as the absoulte best school...... Old School.

I wanted to go but was traveling - have seen him a few times, still love his music but hopefully he didn't do any political preaching. Just sing and play Bruce

PS - if the best school is Old School, which I agree, it does include us pagens like me and Govs. You won't go to hell for that choice will you?

Bruce did do a little political preaching but kept it to a minimum. He was probably concerned that Lee was down in the basement with his hand on the master power switch.

Its OK to associate with pagans, how else can we convert them?

Shattuck -St. Mary's. The best education 35 grand can buy, and a pretty good hockey program as well.

Way too expensive.

How can a HS diploma be worth that much money?

How does the football team do?

Is there a "B squad " category?

AHA
CDH
STA

Pretty much if you want to be the best, you need a 3 letter abbreviation. H-M doesn't count.

The best complete package (academics and athletics) is probably at Blake and Breck. Both schools send teams to state tournaments in almost every sport, and have some of the best academics in the state.

Sorry, but CDH, HM, and AHA don't come close to comparing their academics to Blake and Breck. Which is also why the cost is double at Blake and Breck...

i have to agree with pipes3030. i have to go with blake for the hockey due to their coach being able to get all his players to attain at higher level of play. he has also helped about 26 players go on play hockey at the d1 and d3 college level since he has been at the school. also he had only 1 player that played jr hockey when they stayed all 4 years at blake before going to the college level .

not sure if breck has had that many go on to the next level in the same time period

I don't think you can be the best unless you line up with and compete with the best.

So the BSquadvillle that is Blake and Breck dont cut it in athletics no matter how much they charge.

As far as academics go, the "superiority"of these places is a myth.

The top students that come out of the Catholic high schools such as CDH land at very selective colleges all over the US and are very much sought after.

There is more economic/ academic diversity at the Catholic schools but the top kids are as good as anyones and so is the education they get.

People associate cost with quality way too much when it comes to education.

you might as well wave the white flag now - because no matter what your points are to support your private school conviction, packerboy will just wear you down. He will win this debate on pure attrition alone.

I do hope the Brainerd boys give CDH a run for their money - I don't know how long they can play on emotion.
