    I know much about things from every angle in Pretzeltown. And yes, wonderful is a bit of hyperbole. But it's probably a solid opportunity for a young'un. PM if you're interested in more in-depth analysis.

    Ahem. The Fighting Pretzels.

    Um, all of them? Well, I don't know if they have a pool.

    Oh, there's a pool. The splashing grounds of 2004 state backstroke champ and current Minnesota Golden Gopher Deidre DeWall. And there is no Fighting in Pretzels. But there are Lady Pretzels.

    I wish. I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish! If I could just successfully relocate.

    Good luck in your search Focus. Maybe I'll see your writer at some Highland games this season.
     
  8. That reminds me, I was once at a paper where you weren't allowed to use Lady XXXX unless it was in the name. I guess the example they gave was the Tennessee Lady Vols. The paper said that it was sexist. Just had to share it.

    So Pretzels is the high school team name??

    Wow, guess I've heard it all now, although even the Fighting Pretzels can't top the Yuma (Az.) Criminals.

    Anyone hear anything on this one? Any movement? As a recent grad, should I even bother applying for this opening?

    Always bother. Where's the harm? Take a shot.

    Amen to that. Also, you are young thus cheaper than other applicants, which can help in these cost-cutting days.
