uhclem Hall Of Famer Registered: 08/21/02 Posts: 1534 Loc: Minnesota (in spirit)	Saw it here first: http://northoaklandsports.com/2012/04/03...ional-contract/ "At Minnesota, Hildebrandt will be one of three goalkeepers competing for the starting job,..." Then, it appeared here: http://abcnewspapers.com/2012/04/06/minnesota-stars-fc-set-to-start-title-defense/ "Matt’s stepped in and done a great job so far and we have a couple good back-ups signed.” - Manny Lagos And now... http://www.mnsun.com/articles/2012/04/27/sports/fo/fo19mnstars.txt "Matt has done well so far and we have a couple backup goalies on the roster too." - Manny, again. Three different reporters. Two quote Manny directly. WHERE THE HECK IS THIS MYSTERIOUS THIRD GOALIE? Why hasn't he been announced? Why can't I find him on any Stars roster on the internet? Are we trying to convert Travis Wall from a forward into a goalkeeper because his last name would be perfect for the position? Has Papa Joe re-signed but is afraid to tell his wife?

I don't remember his Christian name, but everybody on the field called him "Baba." I think Djorn said something about not being "able" to roster him just yet, but I didn't ask why. _________________________ I like to think that #winning is exactly the type of crap we embrace. -Tim Hayes, 2011

Soccer Boy Hall Of Famer Registered: 04/21/10 Posts: 3209 Loc: Negril, Jamaica	Originally Posted By: hairygrump We saw the third guy play during the Richfield friendly against MTA. I don't remember his Christian name, but everybody on the field called him "Baba." I think Djorn said something about not being "able" to roster him just yet, but I didn't ask why. When I was at training last week there was a third GK. I asked Alex for his name and I forget what he said. The info in this post is correct--he technically is not on the roster, but is training. Some technicality or something. At any rate, I have to stop by Planet Soccer and order my 2012 kits and pick up my cool Stars beer mugs this AM. I will get his name and some video of the guy. I will post it later. _________________________ --Soccer Boy "If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later."

You will also be able to buy them from the Stars online, eventually. _________________________ Two of the common loon's calls are the tremolo, which sounds a bit like maniacal laughter, an aggressive call; and the yodel, sounded by male loons guarding their territory.

kj Hall Of Famer Registered: 05/04/05 Posts: 2279 Loc: Minneapolis	There are beer mugs, too? I'd only seen the pint glasses. I need to find more cabinet space for such things. _________________________ We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. Strange and beautiful are the stars tonight.

GumbyGrrl First Team Starter Registered: 09/13/07 Posts: 1232 Loc: Blaine	no no, no mugs. I mis-typed. Beer glasses only, as far as I know.

uhclem Hall Of Famer Registered: 08/21/02 Posts: 1534 Loc: Minnesota (in spirit)	Finally...
