Although she probably wont win, its cool to see my sister on the list. Working with the parades as she did her Miss Jordan stuff was a pretty cool experience and I'll most likely never ride in a truck like the ones Ford Motors lent to us ever again. GO MELINDA!!!!!!!

It's good to see Melinda

It's good to see Melinda listed in this pole - She really made an impact in Jordan while she was Miss Jordan. She was just honored with the Academy of Math and Science scholarship and the Scott & Abbie Thiss Scholarship at Normandale as she pursues her degree in Biomedical Engineering. Good Luck Melinda.

"I don't think that person in the story is our Bob Wolf," wrote drjwater in that post. "Our Bob is just a regular guy around town." I think the writer was just trying to point out some irony.

Scrumpie03 — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 10:43:04 -0500

The Robert Wolf referred to in the aforementioned article regarding Barack Obama has absolutely no affiliation with either Bob Wolf or his son RJ Wolf from Jordan. The results of this poll show that those who voted seem to know or have voted for Bob Wolf, and therefore should know he and his family are quite conservative, and whoever decided to accredit Jordan's Bob Wolf with launching Barack Obama's campaign is laughable. This being said, I suggest he or she confirm claims made with a more reliable source before assuming the utmost credibility as google.com.

I can definitely try and find out.

Access to high school stats is highly subjective and questionable. There really is no one central clearing house for high school stats, that is one of the things that makes it tough to cover high schools. No school (and even no sport in that same school) do things quite the same way. It is really kind of sad. They all do things differently (some schools dont even keep records) and there is no one place that it all has to be reported to.

All the information I get comes from coaches (and what they are willing to share with me). But I can definitely inquire as to the playoff records under Dietel.

goldengopher — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 09:08:15 -0600

So far the mighty Hubmen are not playing the way I expected this year. I thought Cecka would be more of a scorer this year. However, I like the way Yuriy Maleshenko is playing. He's tall and is aggressive around the basket.

The Hubmen have played some tough teams, and I think in February, they'll play better. Maybe they will still finish in the middle of the pack in the conference and win a game or two in the playoffs.

Brian - what is the farthest the Hubmen have gone in the playoffs under Dietel? Do you have access to those types of stats? I'd be interested to know.

If you are going for the most famous Jordanites, I can't believe no one has mentioned the sisters that every Jordan male will never forget: The Dahm Triplets.

Their resumes include: Playboy, TV show "Boy Meets World" in '99, Reality shows "House Wars" and "Renovate My Family," and Game show "Family Feud," And in advertising.

And Erica is married to Dr. Phil's son.

They have to be the most famous people that grew up in Jordan.

It would have been nice to have him hang around for a couple more years & see a good team develope into a great winning team like the '87 & '91 twins team.

Don't you love the look of Pekarna Park during Christmastime?

The outside shooting is the big question mark for coach Dietel. Overall, the coach is pretty optimistic though.

They were kind of up-and-down last year, I think they have the chance to be better, despite losing so many guys.

Read a preview of the team (all the winter sports teams in fact) in this week's paper, available Thursday.

goldengopher — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 16:06:28 -0600

I think this year you will see the Hubmen around the .500 mark and will finish in the top half of the conference. Oakes, and Lucas will be the studs. Micheal Pauly should compliment them well, he has a nice little jumper. The question mark will be who will be able to hit the three's? Or will they do without that this year?

Well it is nice to see that

dog4work — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 19:32:26 -0600

Well it is nice to see that Bob's son RJ (Robert Wolf) is doing so well. Maybe we have another popular person from Jordan besides the Baldwin girls?
