I don't have a problem with them selling the place out, but they shouldn't restrict us from buying the remainder on a first come first serve basis online the same as all the rest of their home games. If their season ticket base drops off in the future, they will want us back as customers - or at least the people who are in charge of the budgets will.

I called the league office in Colorado Springs this morning and complained about the ticketing process described above and had a call back from the UNO ticket office within an hour. I then bought tickets for each night over the phone. A lot of hassle. I let the league office know that them not selling tickets online for this series was BS and they seemed to agree, but don't know if I was talking to anyone in any kind of position of authority. Its bad for the league if they don't want us filling up their stadiums. Without us, they don't have a league. League needs to discourage this kind of behavior by the teams. Too bad UNO doesn't try to schedule the UND series back at Centurylink. Last year they had 10 to 11 thousand there each night and I think it was fun for their team to play in front of that many. And they gave the Sioux all they could handle. Sioux came out of it with one win and they were lucky to get that. Sioux fans spent a lot of money in downtown Omaha that won't be spent this year.

Its hard to believe he is actually our athletic director. I suppose there are a couple of million ($) other reasons Hak left, but I think he would be glad to be away from Faison and Kelley.

A few years back the Lamorieax (spelling) sisters had just returned from the Olympics and did a ceremonial puck drop at a Sioux game at Engelstad. As they were walking off the ice they stripped off their Olympic jerseys to reveal their Sioux sweaters. The camera focused in on Hak and even he had to smile wryly about that one.
