  1. and the city? Speaking of development within the Tech Park, does anyone know yet what is going in next to the National Weather Service? UND calls it a "seed building."
  2. UND wants the the state to give them $7 Million and Grand Forks to give them $2 million otherwise it ain't going to happen. Why wait til now to ask?
  3. Interesting to bring this thread back now that the season is done.
  4. Call me crazy,taking the #2 (out of 8) team in the WCHA playoffs to OT and lossing is nothing to brag or be proud about. There is only 31 D1 womens hockey teams, of which few are any good and have a realistic chance of winning a championship (call them the haves and the have nots if you will). The women's first year they were 10-14-2, second year 16-14-2, and now the first year in the WCHA are 9-23-3. Women's collegiate hockey is still in it's infancy and it doesn't take much to make an impact. Taking Duluth to OT means NOTHING. It could simply mean Duluth took the Sioux for granted and they didn't play up to their potential, I think overall regular season records are a better indicator of how a team is doing for the season. When the men won the WCHA league title in 98-99, they played the tenth place team in the league in the opening round, Mankato, of the WCHA playoffs and LOST . It didn't make the other team any better. I'm sure they fans were far more happy then because they actually Beat the #1 team in the league. Mankato still hasn't did much in the WCHA or NCAA after that and I think they will continue to do little in the future. My point being Lossing in OT is nothing to be "proud" about, whether first year, all freshman, no scholarships, or full scholarships veteran filled teams. That being said I obviously want the women to do well. I am not impressed, but I digress. Please tell me when I will be able to voice my displeasure or say anything not positive about a UND team....4,5,6,7,8, or 9th year of existance??? Wanna clear up your point: All I said winning and taking a team to OT are totally different, which I think would have gotten my point across pretty good.
  5. Thanks for making my point for me. The bigger the rivalry the more you charge. So therefore UMD is now our rival
  6. Do students get in free to the game tomorrow? Let's pack the place through out the NCC & NCAA playoffs and help the women win another championship.

    Kessel

    Phil Kessel is overrated, not a team player, a puck hog, doesn't pass, is slow and lazy, and doesn't play defense. He'll never win a championship.

    Kessel

    Hirsch I hate to seeing these kids getting younger and younger entering the WCHA, especially for the Sioux.
  9. OT and winning are two totally different things.
  10. Oilers only $89 Mill. Ralph should have bought and moved them to the new REA
  11. Unlike the Bison, the Sioux have no need to try and create a rivalry. Isn't Duluth our football rivalry??? Why else would the athletic department charge $2 extra to see them instead of any other football team we play?
  12. Very disappointing season all year, every year, for all the players.
  13. I'll pick the underdog. Winner of Bloomington-Jefferson HS vs Holy Angels. Warroad in the other class.
  14. Yes lets compare a championship game atmosphere to that of a regular season game.
  15. Canuck, did you really think the place was going to be packed for a Sunday afternoon game? They may be "excuses" but those excuses are valid points many people did not attend the game. Your only point I see if you were disappointed with the attendance. While others are not, because they know the circumstances behind it all. Icy roads are an excuse, but the interstate was later shut down that night. So apparently that seems to be a pretty valid reason for someone from Fargo, which many people who attend the games are from, not to attend.
  16. Winner of the CC/Denver games this weekend. If they split I'd go with CC.
  17. Glas is a great guy, but it has gone on WAY to long. Fire his ass NOW!
  18. My thoughts are the Sioux suck. Tons of talent, and nothing to show. Seasons over. Highly Underachieved. But you still gotta wait a few years to criticize Hakstol. 3-4.
  19. I ate it. Tasted good.
  20. DaveK, click this link: http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?sh...923entry80923 read it again....when I posted it January 5th. The GF dominance is not over. I wish you'd open your eyes. GF'ers have a reason to be cocky/confident in hockey. You can talk all you want (mullets, 5-10 yr olds with talent, etc) but all you have to do it look up the state championship stats. Fargo South is nothing. So many people and HS's in Fargo, but not to many championships. I can see the tides changing...those other teams outside of GF are really closing the gap. DaveK writes 1995 - Grand Forks 1996 - Grand Forks 1997 - Grand Forks 1998 - Grand Forks 1999 - South 2000 - Grand Forks 2001 - Grand Forks 2002 - Grafton 2003 - Grand Forks 2004 - Grand Forks 2005 - Grand Forks I guess you got your wish the 80's are back. Thank you and have a good day.
