    I've been reminded by clients, friends and family...that we are a "hockey" school. Heck you can hardly find the UND v SDSU home game on a TV at Buffalo Wild Wings in Grand Forks (and they have how many tv's in that place?).  The local businesses don't even seem to want to even try care anymore.... it appears.    

    I tell friends family and clients that I remember when we were an "everything" school, great atmosphere in the Hyslop, traveled well to NCC venues and tournament games.  My wife says that I must be mis-remembering, but I told her that she's too young to remember  those days, as she was just a kid.  That always gets me back in her good graces,. For a little while anyway.  

    Those days are sadly long gone.   Not sure what can be done to change it.  Sioux Falls is really not much longer a drive than Twin Cities..but for some reason, there doesn't seem to be much interest from anyone who wants to make the trip from around here.   I realize that we are underdogs, but that can be part of the fun.  

    I started college in 90.  I have vivid memories of sitting a few rows behind visitor bench at Hyslop, letting them have it, doing anything we could to try and get in there heads (yea, I was young and stupid at the time).  Vonesh, Guldseth, Gardner, Burkett.  I can still vividly see Burkett literally jumping over some D3 dude right in front of us and then letting the entire visitor bench know it as he ran buy.  LOL, very over the top, but fun.  Seemed like they won every game by 15 or more points.  Coming from a very small, class B, town in ND, it was the first time I had seen athleticism like that in person.

    Marlon has played big in conference tournaments (see MSU in 2017).  

    IF UND is going to make a magic run though... Rebraca, DAE and Walter need to deliver and somehow, UND needs a bench person to step up.  Now if Marlon wants to Kemba Walter the bit... I'm okay with that too, but he cannot go overboard.  

    I'm excited to see what enfolds in Sioux Falls.  Made the decision tonight that I am going to go down and see the Summit Tourney for myself for the very 1st time. 

    I went last year and had a blast.  Will be there again this year.  Last year was interesting  because the SDSU men got knocked out in the first game (first time an 8 ever beat a 1).  We had horrible purchased seats, but sat pretty much wherever we wanted for entire tournament after SDSU was knocked out.  SDSU fans were literally giving away tickets for the final session on Tuesday.  I was pretty disappointed in complete lack of any UND fans at the tournament (other than maybe a few family members).

    I went to UND in the 90's.  Two of my most vivid memories of the rivalry was the Mooney strip (I was at the game) and the Kleinsasser TD in which he accelerated away from the NDSU DBs (watched at a bar in Grand Forks).  One other fact people might forget is that UND is 4-2 lifetime in the Fargodome :-).

    Anyone know what the single session prices will be for tournament when they open up in a couple weeks?  All session is $120 which isn't bad but having a hard time finding anyone willing to commit to 4 days of basketball and 3 nights of hotels.  I'd like to just buy Saturday and Sunday sessions and then decide from there depending on how the tournament is going.  On the flip side, if sessions are $25 then I may as well just buy the full session now and make sure I have seats for Saturday/Sunday.
