DU Hockey team cxld today's practice at family sports, so the team wouldn't have to deal with the traffic nightmare getting back to campus; and to give the team the opportunity to enjoy the various student activities taking place around campus today, in light of this highly visible, political event, and for DU pride.

Are most of the UND players out on bond?

Awesome.

So if DU figures that they are getting $30 million in publicity, whats a Boone signing on MSNBC worth?

Lets go with 50 bucks.

FWIW, the front page of the NY Times had a photo of the two DU students in Magness dressed as candidates.

Ha, I saw the MSNBC woman in the red dress at breakfast this morning at The Local. I though she was dressed quite snappy...

A Boone sighting on MSNBC. Great, hardly anyone who can read or write saw him then. I'm going with three; and all three already posted here.

The $50 DG is talking about? We should give that to a charity just to make ourselves feel less dirty about this 'appearance'.

Brilliant comment, Obamney. Thanks for bringing the Faux News commentary to LetsGoDu. Count me as the 4th literate on your list.

The Fascist News Network and Communist News Network are both terrible as well. Just not as bad as MSNBC. NONE of them truly report the news without bias or some sort of hidden agenda these days and that is disgusting. Sure, there are decent reporters here and there on all of the networks but the powers that be in these networks keep the news at a middle school comprehension level to ensure Americans stay dumb and placated.

I will say that at least Chris Matthews is somewhat respectable, and fortunately that's where Boone was seen.

Plus the handle "Obamney" should lead one to think that I am not a fan of either candidate and definitely not a fan of F(*& News.

I wouldn't expect a regular MSNBC view to catch that though, so you are forgiven. :D
