Maaaan...I wonder if Bill Marolt would talk to me! Almost certainly not, but now I'm inspired to try.

I had a chance to be at the Short Track Quals, very good turnout, within about 50 seats of selling out an arena that the next day say mostly empty seats for the NMU/WMU Hockey matchup, due to classes being out for the break. It means that lots of people came in to see thesetrials and that Short Track, and its stars, are a growing presence. Congrats to all, good luck, and well done on the interview SportsFilter

Cool interview and not to be overly fussy but next time can you give the shift key a bit more rest? The rules for proper name capitalization are pretty simple. Anyway, Go US(a)!

Hal, I blame it on all the annoying holiday music and fake cheer.

Nicely done skydivedad - way to scoop an interview and make us look legit. My calls to Pat Quinn for an interview have been met with blank stares. I think they may resent an interview with a guy named Weedy. I blamed my parents.
