TRIP TO HOUGHTON .. YEAR 2
Planning the trip back to Houghton and the Hancock area. Looking to see if anyone's interested in driving over with the rat-pack from last year. Leave at 6:00 a.m. on Friday morning and drive straight through to Michigan Tech. If interested contact me at 360-722-1784 or leave me a message on siouxsports mail. No Al Pearson bus this time but the Fighting Sioux still need the support in the hostile confines of Houghton Arena. Travel weather looks clear at this point too.
Al's remaining bus trips are to St. Cloud and Wisconsin. I'm sure we'll hear him on the radio promoting them. Houghton is a great trip, especially if you can sleep through all 10-12 hours while someone else drives.

This is the only explanation we could come up with for why the shirt was created the way it was. However, this is the Sioux country. Put the Sioux logo first, not the Gopher's "M".
I should make my own commemorative tee:
"Gophers 'Flocked'
in ND Whiteout"
-
We are going to take Tech to the cleaners this time!
We are going to roll into Michigan like a giant snowball and leave even bigger and stronger squashing the competition the rest of the way!!!
Yes! This time No TECHnical difficulties! Got get 'em, boys!!

how bout "Gopher Pride" with mugshots of Tyler Hirsh and/or Nate Haggemo
Back when Hirsch's unprovoked post-game attack on the net was the stuff of short-term memory rather than legend, we contemplated this sign,
"90% of Hockey is Half-Mental"--Tyler Hirsch
But, we did not make it as I recall.

A recycled oldie but a goodie:
"Hey, Kangas:
Looking for this?
[illustration: pointy finger gingerly holding goalie jock--junior-sized or better yet, girl's pelvic protector]"

Unless the T's would be given out free at the door, it will never be a total white out. Maybe not even with a free T.
I thought it looked pretty good tonight with as many white T's and jerseys there were. And I think I like the T sold at the Ralph better than the Scheels T. Thought it was easier to read.
Hopefully tomorrow, those that "Didn't get the memo" will be there in white, too.
Well, let's hope so. I was very disappointed because it wasn't only the "Ma-goon and You're-in-Yellow" crowd screwing up the aesthetic. There were Sioux fans proudly sporting road Green and Black Ice jerseys. Get with the program, people! How hard is it to find something white to wear?
-
First 4 Sioux goals happened right in front of me, making the 2nd doubly sweet. It's been a long, long time since I've seen the Sioux play with such intensity as in the first two periods last night. But that was then, this is now. We've got to get a sweep tonight. These two points are huge. Well, that is, they will be huge as long as the Gophers don't screw up our RPI by tanking the rest of their season!!
Gotta be careful though. We don't want to contract hantavirus, that disease that you get from sweeping up rodent droppings.
The "Block M," the new universal sign for choking.

I'll vouch for NDH. His word is his bond.

okay...
Since when did everyone become tip-toeing gopher-huggers? Good grief, I don't think every statement made in this thread is going to be a sign held up at the ralph to be shown on cable.
Exactly. We used to have a much better sense of humor--and proportion. Back when I was making signs for the student section, only two were censored by security. Inexplicably, I might add. They were:
"Welcome to the Ralph:
Home of Banners,
Not Manners"
and
"Fix the Huskies" which was illustrated with a picture of a Husky on which I attached crossed BandAids, suggesting the dog had recently been "fixed."
"Crappy & Crappie" came in and so did a penalty box sign, "I Got 2:00 for Hooking (Mom Got 5 Years)"
-
I came across this one the other day.
Funny! How would you clean the language up for a family-friendly poster?
-
I can't figure out yet how to make it pithy--heh heh, I said "pithy"--but there should be a way to make a current events/Frozen Four type reference like,
"The Only Way The Gophers Get To D.C.
Is To Beat Al Franken In A Recount"

Thinking of Mario Lamoureux' recent surgery...
"Things We Can Live Without:
1. Adenoids
2. Tonsils
3. Appendix
4. Gophers"
-
You can use a picture of me for that one if you want!
Thanks for having such a good sense of humor! PM me the picture & I'll make you almost famous.

"ND ROAD TO VICTORY:
Unplowed [picture of drifted-in street]
Plowed [picture of Sioux player laying down bone-crushing hit on hapless Go4]"
"Minnesota Five-Hole: [picture of opening between Kang's legs]
Minnesota A-Hole: [picture of rube in Gopher Hockey shirt or of Woog or Maz or Dark Star]"
on a similar theme...
"Hockey Stick: [picture of such a stick]
Dip Stick: [picture of rube in Gopher shirt, Woog, Maz or Dark Star]"
-
"Please Don't Squeeze the Carman"
[with a mustache, would Woog look enough like Mr. Whipple?]

Crappy
Crappie
That one is a favorite of mine.
Thanks, that was one of my designs. I know it cracked up Pat Sweeney.

Can anyone find the numbers for the Gophers hockey budget? I was thinking of stealing a joke from Jay Leno. A sign with a picture of the buck-toothed rodent that says: "Gopher Hockey: $XXmillion dollar budget. No dental plan"
-
Does anyone have any fresh ideas for signs taunting our learned scholar-opponents from the University of Minnesota? The old stand-bys are great: "Goph-Busters" or "Minnesota: Land of 10,000 Excuses," e.g., but I'm looking for something new. Any ideas, post 'em here. Can somebody find those pictures of signs in the student section from a couple of years ago?

I was reading some things about Lucia on USCHO, and I came across a bunch of garbage that really makes me happy to live in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
Apparently, Twin Cities media have been speculating on what is wrong with Don, Dark Starr actually reporting a supposed diagnosis. (that coach had to dispell as untrue at his press conference) Coach Lucia said something to the effect that he has been called 10 times a night by media wondering what is wrong with him. Am I missing something here? Where is the decency? Would this happen in GF or Fargo if one of our coaches was sick and wanted some privacy? Sure, regular guys like me would discuss, and maybe post rumors on a messageboard, but would Brad S., Tim H., Pat Sweeney go on air and basically makeup a diagnosis for a guy and broadcast it? NO! Maybe I am overreacting, but this just makes me sick.
LEAVE THE GUY ALONE!
In the grand scheme, this is just one little thing, but yet another reason why I'm glad I live where I do.
Interesting question. The Herald outed the Flood Angel, if you'll recall. Editorial judgment--or the belief in the public's right to know everything that happens with those who are publicly-paid--might overrule reporter preferences to grant privacy to a coach at a state-supported school. Speculation, however, isn't news; it's gossip.

so wear a white shirt or sweatshirt or jersey from your closet if you dont get that shirt those shirts arent needed to make a whiteout but at least they help overall for some and a great idea as gopher fans will buy them but just not wear them to the game. nice shirts and good marketing
go sioux
Don't worry about me, I have the shirt already and the Sioux Shop will be restocked with them on Monday for the stragglers. True enough, you can wear anything white for the white out.
P.S. H8 Go4s

WHITE OUT THE RALPH SIOUX FANS like captain DUNCAN SAYS
It was announced at the end of the game that the Sioux Shop is temporarily SOLD OUT of the White Out Tees.

SOGs are 40-25.
