...Shepherd's background established that he is a member of an all-male St. Louis club and another club that is all white. Though Shepherd said he is determined to remain in contention, his troubles are an additional embarrassment for Meese, who needs more setbacks about as much as Custer needed more Indians...
Quote of the Week: "The team that wants to go to Maine is like a team that wants to book passage on the Titanic or a bus ticket to Little Big Horn. [Maine Coach] Shawn Walsh is like Sitting Bull waiting for Custer."--B.C. Assistant Hockey Coach Steve Cedorchuk said, referring to teams that have to play Maine...

The group admits young members who never sat a horse in anger, and among those on hand was a group of re-enactors wearing uniforms of the 2nd Dragoons in the 1850s. But for a few years more, the core will be soldiers who trained to fight from the saddle. They call one another Trooper, so that former noncoms and onetime generals can feel at ease as they retell old stories, many of them true...
