Anyone sick yet of hearing what a world-beater BC is? Ugh.

Does Ferrous State play Heavy Metal Hockey?

Gaarder, lucky #13

Thanks, Parks!

If anyone is interested in how an NCAA regional is run, here's a link to the manual for participating teams in Cincy: http://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/MANUAL_14DIMIH_Participant_Reg_Cincinnati_FINAL.pdf

It counts! Have a good time.

Oh, good, so you're jetting into and out of CVG for the regional! Would you have room in your carry-on to bring me back a T Shirt?

In sports, there are three kinds of untruths: lies, damned lies and announced attendance.

To clarify, a minimum of 35 passengers was necessary for the bus to roll. I was told the Pearsons received no more than 10 calls expressing interest and that, as the deadline loomed, those callers indicated they would not be committing to the trip. Might be time to start a "why does attendance suck at regionals?" thread

The fan bus has been cancelled for lack of interest. If you get to Cincinnati by other means, I hope you enjoy yourselves and get to see this Sioux team play its heart out to advance to Philly.

If you're dithering about whether or not to jump on the bus and help paint Cincy green, stop it! The deadline to commit to the trip is tomorrow, Wednesday, Mar. 26 at noon. If at least 35 people don't agree to go, the bus doesn't roll.

Well, I'm 62. Sit by me and we'll reminisce about the Pleistocene Age! Regulars are usually 50+. Some youngsters jump on as one-offs. Using Twitter, may bring in younger crowd, that's true. We won't know demographics until we actually get commits.

Trying to get the word out about the bus on Twitter. Gotten several retweets of the contact info. Please help if you can.

Just spoke with Joanna, Al's daughter. She said, yes, you pay for rooms separately but they are hoping to get rooms at a discounted group rate and that people will double up or more in those rooms so that the expenses for tix+bus+rooms would be in the $450-500 range. If you want to go, please give Joanna a call at 701-388-9825

I'm going to go with Parks, too. One of these days, he's gonna channel Chris Porter and get that wraparound to go five-hole for a goal.

Didn't hear him on the radio but as someone whose gone on Al's bus for about 15 years, the room price isn't included, that you pay for separately. What he probably said was they have rooms reserved. I will clarify with his daughter and post here.

The boys are going to Cincy and you can, too! Al Pearson is looking for at least 35 commits for passage on the fan bus to the Midwest Regional by noon Wednesday or the bus doesn't go. Change in previously announced plan: Now, looking at leaving Thursday morning, spending the night around Chicago and completing the trip on Friday. Can pick up fans along the route because the more, the merrier. Contact Al's daughter Joanna at 701-388-9825. Let's be there to cheer on the Sioux!

Picked North Dakota, Notre Dame and BC and the Q in the Frozen 4. North Dakota to beat Quinnipiac for the title. And YaneA to write dumb puns no one gets. At the regionals: Minnesota to quell Colonials uprising, though I'd love to see the Gophers Holy Crossed in their own backyard Notre Dame to excommunicate St. Cloud Notre Dame to eliminate the Brown and Yellow The Sioux to stab our benefactors, the Badgers, in the back Ferris to brush away Colgate The Sioux to give Ferris the rest of the season off Bobcats to defrock Friars Union to surmount the Cats Bobcats to dissolve Union

They were thinking about 8 pm Thursday. Call Joanna for more info.

Offered to compare W2s?

Seeing Marist-Iowa.

Never fails to fail. Every damn year, broadcast of our games is mishandled.

Isn't this supposed to be on ch 621 in GFK? Not seeing it

Al Pearson is trying to put a bus together to go to Cincy. All of you pissing and moaning about low attendance at inconvenient regionals can do a little something to change that. He needs 35 people to commit or bus doesn't roll. Call Joanna at 701-388-9825.

Who does this crap? I doubt he's a Bemidji fan. They are a pretty sane crowd.
