  1. Thanks, jerseychaser & ihategophers. We'll start a sign thread closer to the Wookie series, I'll make some and, if you'll give me your seat numbers leave them for you. BTW, I'm going to Duluth on Al Pearson's bus and will resurrect the "Season's Beatings from the FIGHTING Sioux" sign from last year to take with me. I'm sure our seats will be way way up in the DECC but I'll get there for warmups and stand with it by the glass.

  2. As one of the sign-making/creating usual suspects I'm stilling willing and able to do my part (as I did at this year's Gopher series) but the students who held the signs last year got sent to the upper deck gulag. If any lower bowl seat holders will commit to holding signs, we'll start a thread for ideas and I'll get out the poster board, the scissors and the rubber cement and go to town.

  3. I think there is a lot of interest in this game. Al Pearson has cancelled the hockey trip to Houghton because people want to stay here and see the football team get its revenge against the Lakers. I'll be at the ticket window on Wednesday and will invite the neighbor kids to go with me to the game. There's 3 butts for you, though at my age, I think my butt ought to count double.

  4. I have some signs from last year's St. Cloud series, including the "Chokers Available in 3 sizes, slim, regular and Husky)." We lost to over-zealous enforcement the best one that said "Neuter the Huskies" and had a picture of a Husky puppy with criss-crossed Band-aids in the anatomically correct spot. I think we also lost the "Rub Their Noses In It" sign which had a Huksy puppy having his nose rubbed in a yellow puddle.

  5. Al Pearson is taking a bus to Houghton, Michigan again this year; last year was a blast and this year promises more of the same. We leave at 6 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving. Transportation & tickets are $100; meals and hotel extra (food was great at Franklin Square Best Western). If you aren't a regular one of Al's Pals, I'm sure he can make room for you. You can call him in the evening at 701-775-6859. His letter to me said that the next trip will be to Duluth so he must have a line on tickets for that series.

  6. sosiouxme--If you make the M-E-D-I-O-C-R-E-! cards, it might be a good idea to number them so the spelling doesn't get screwed up.

    Supertrex--by all means bring "Deja Sioux All Over Again."

  7. I offered to make them but couldn't get anyone to agree to hoist them so as far as I know they have not been made. I have, however, made about 16 signs (8 signs, which are two-sided) and will leave them on the seats of those who asked for them. There will be some left over so if you see me wandering about the student section about an hour before the game and would like a sign, just ask. I'll be the person walking through the student section who's enough to be your mother's older sister.

  8. I believe I suggested the M-E-D-I-O-C-R-E countercheer but I think a line of Sioux fans at the Final Five last spring did something similar, hoisting cards with each letter of that word (or something like it) while the Goph fans were participating in their spelling ritual. It would be nice if the gang of students who spell out S-E-X=Score and C-O-N-D-O-M=Defense (which have lost their shock value for me) would get the M-E-D-I-O-C-R-E cheer going. It would take some organization but would be worth it. If a group of 9 or 10 would commit to leading it, I'd be willing to make the cards that spell out M-E-D-I-O-C-R-E! Anyone?

    This would be especially cool in light of the front page story in today's Herald about the rivalry that indicates how much national press is going to be at the game.

  9. Last call if you want to get a sign--PM me with your seat number.

    Just thought of a good one if I can work out the graphics. Carl Spackler saying, "I gotta get into this dude's pelt..." while a thought bubble shows the dude in question is Don Lucia. We all love Lucia's pelt...er...hair.

    "I don't know how to make a sign out of this, but Fuhrer, Bina, Schneider are all from Grand Forks and defensemen and then there's Lammy from Grand Forks whose a goalie vs. Potulny and Irmen who are forwards."

    champs--Something like this?

    Fuher, Bina & Schneider:

    TRUE stay-at-home defensemen

    or

    North Dakota Boys:

    The ones that stayed

    are better than

    the ones that got away

  11. Today is your last chance to tell me which signs you want to see. Post about one previously suggested that you like or come up with a fresh idea. PM me with your seat number if you want to have a sign to hoist; just bring it back with you on Saturday night. Or, is there a student out there willing to take a batch of signs and distribute to others in the lower bowl?

    I've pasted up quite a few already and found some leftovers from last year (unfortunately not crappie/crappy or the lost jock).

  12. for Grand Forks' own, Potulny & Irmen:

    "You Guys Ever Heard

    of the Patriot Act?"

    "Local Boys Make Good

    (Targets)"

    "Ryan & Danny:

    Transfer Now!

    (Tutors Are Standing By)"

    "Why Minnesota?

    Didn't Al Qaeda

    Show Any Interest?"

    " Pot U lny &

    Irme N

    D isowned"

  13. The Arrogant Worms - The Hockey Song

  14. I'm kicking this up to the top. I need to know which signs you want to see and I need volunteers to hoist them. A few people have e-mailed their seat numbers (thanks, you guys) but it would be nice to have all the "freshmen girls," who took lower bowls seats away from the real fans, play along. Sign holders can usually count on getting face time on the Daktronic or the broadcast. Any additional sign ideas would be greatly appreciated. Please post away.

  15. I can make the pronunciation guide but I'll probably have to shorten it.

    Used this one last year:

    "Who Ya Gonna Call?

    Goph-Busters!"

    I found some pictures of gophers at

    http://www.funny.co.uk/stuff/art_175-2768-...am-Stuffed.html

    http://www.funny.co.uk/stuff/art_175-2729-Attack-gopher.html

    Captions anyone? Something like: "Move Away from the Buffet, [name of pudgy Gopher here]" for the first and "Weapons of Mass Delusion" for the second. Surely, someone can do better?

  16. "Briggs is to Positioning

    As Your Sister is to Prom Night"

    "Gophers:

    You're Gonna Need These

    [file labelled "UM Dental Records"]"

    One side of poster:

    Picture of the Ralph labelled "Rink"

    Other side:

    Picture of Mariucci labelled "Rinky Dink"

    "Minnesota:

    The State of Decay"

    "Minnesota:

    Land of 10,000 Dinks"

    This would work better for Wisconsin but I'll throw it out there...
