What the deuce does PL mean ? Someone's initials I imagine.

Its an old habit from some message boards before they had signatures or avatars. It is my initials. PL= Pat Long

Hey eight, since you are obviously a 'youngun' and I am, well, old, I can tell you that PL stands for Pete Lana, one of the Bison greats in the 70's, in the Erhardt and Kjelbertson era. For those of us 'old' enough to remember and actually watched him play, he was one of the great ones. Smart kid, younger than me actually which makes him a "youngun" also

Pete was one of those players that could play todays game. He was quick and fast. Great moves and hands. Plus he was a great guy. He also was the artist for the bison Snorter logo if Iam not correct. PL

Right on. Yes, I'm a youngster and have never heard the name. Maybe I need to brush up on my Bison history a little. I didn't start bleedin' green and gold until Bentrim was QB.

Pete Lana was a Fargo Shanley grad. Who is also in the Bison Hall of Fame.

My dad is a '66 Shanley grad. When was Lana there ?

Here is a NDSU recruit for track that the football coaches would like to have him walk on. Sounds like he was a WR and DB in high school.

Just got back home from the Fargo South vs. West Fargo boys hockey game. I didn't need a program to tell me which player on the ice was Danny Luecke. The program has him listed at 6'5" 225 lbs. I question that though. He hit a slap shot so hard that one of the refs turned and ducked when he launched it. I was impressed with him. He did his job on the ice and was never involved in any of the extra curricular crap that was going on. The ref sent him to the penalty box once and everyone I was standing next to from south were chuckling saying they doubt it was Danny. He sounds like a clean cut kid with a good head on his shoulders.

My younger brother played defense with Danny's older brother from Flyers all the way up through high school so I know that you're right when you say that Danny is a clean cut kid.

Plus, I think their dad works in the ag department at NDSU as well. My brother worked the sugar beet plots for him for a couple summers.

Fargo South Bruin football player=clean cut kid with a good head on his shoulders

fixed for you. i was a part of that side of town for a while and there are a lot of kids that arent "clean cut" nor do they good heads on their shoulders. however, most of the kids that come out of that football program are top notch classy kids (minus that one und/uno kid).
