It gets old seeing the boy's coach, Lee Smith not have a clue on what he's doing with the varsity team and then watching mister Bud Grant's son, Mike, not do squat because anything that might be bigger than his precious little football team would be horrendous.mnhkylvr wrote:My oh my, that's an awfully big monkey on your back.

Now that Tim Morris' little recruiting ring has been stop with the new Minnesota Law regarding recruiting has been passed, you all will see the REAL E.P.
The sooner you realize that the past three years success has been due to girls coming in from other cities, the sooner you will realize that Eden Prairie will never, EVER be the same. Let's see the real Tim Morris!
EAGLE NATION!
Do you follow any Eden Prairie Youth hockey? It seems like year after year at least three or four teams ranging from PeeWees to Junior Gold make a serious run at a state championship, if not win it! Why hasn't that translated to success at the high school level? Tell me that sir and I will be quiet.... Or better yet, tell me why all our talent continually leaves our program??? Let me list off the players that could have been playing here instead of Juniors, develpoment programs, or leaving for a private school.
List:
Seniors- Danny Kristo (Ann Arbor), Alec Rush (Juniors), Andrew Hartmen (Holy Angels, varsity), Patrick Duda (Benilde?, varsity)
Juniors- Jason Clark (Shattuck), Blake Thompson (Juniors), Jacob Meyers (Benilde), Brett Patterson (Benilde)
Not only that, please explain this- this season Smith cut a player that had played a little varsity as a sophomore and then all of last year as a junior, and he cut probably the second most explosive senior player, Joe Mulvehill (spelling may be off), second only to Nick Leddy. Muvehill aslo played varsity as a sophomore. You total that up and that is TEN players that could have DEARLY helped the varsity team this season. What's up with that?
Now, regarding the girls team. Just say your graces that little Kelsey is actually playing. Would you be happier if your daddy's girl wasn't playing because three bloomington kids and two Chaska kids took her spot? No. Now that recruiting is a thing of the past, only Eden Prairie residents' children will be playing, including yours, not nearby suburbs. It's hard to like Tim Morris when you actually know a person who has had a varsity spot taken away by some recruit. It hurts that person. Like I said, say your graces that little Kelsey is playing even if the team won't be as good. It would hurt a lot more than if your daughter was the one sitting at home watching the team she should be playing on have success.
Last thing: take a look at the Let'sPlayHockey rankings, although they generally mean nothing, they do give a rough estimate of how teams fall, and tell me where is Eden Prairie? Not ranked. Oh, too bad. And they lost what, 8-2 to Eagan who is 15??? Ouch!
Now that I completely undressed you, please just pull up your pants and say nothing.[/url]
Are you sure your not Sean Averey's twin? Do you have to use so many people's names! You are a country IDIOT!!!!!
