Ok - back to the original post. I'm looking for GRAND FORKS Sioux fans that had to stay home. Where will any Sioux fans be watching the game in GRAND FORKS???

Hey to all the po' folk Sioux fans who are too broke to make the trip to St. Paul this weekend. Let's take Friday afternoon off of work and meet somewhere to watch the game. Where will you all be? Some suggestions: Joe Dimagio's (huge tv and tons of food), Dagwoods (lots of TV's and no smoke - good food too), BWW (good wings and lots of green beer and TV's). What do you suggest? Let's take over an establishment with our green jerseys, drink some green beer and cheer on the Sioux together!

The game still has 2:45 seconds left in "dial up land". Thanks for the final - I can go to bed now!

oops - sorry. I read your post and then I heard Borque's goal. Your computer must be faster than mine. I am listening on RealPlayer with dial up internet and it cuts out every 15 seconds or so. Then when it returns it picks up right where it left on in mid-sentence. It's driving me nuts! It's now 12:30 AM and the US is going on a 2:45 power play. How far behind am I? It's time for me to go night night anyway - I have to be at work in 7 hours.

Borque just got #6 - holy crap. Why couldn't he do that LAST year?? It's now 12-2 USA. When did Norway get the second goal? I missed that one. Did the Canadians go nuts on that one too - or have they all gone home?

Doors will open at 5:00 or 5:30. We are still waiting for the coaches (Hakstol and Rivard) to tell us what their line up will be - which team goes first, etc. I'll try to remember to post it when they call me back.

It is on Tuesday, October 4th.

If you want the "75 Years of Fighting Sioux Hockey" they are selling that one right now at the REA pro shop for $1.00 !! That's right - just 1 measly dollar! They are in the middle of their May Madness sale. It started yesterday (May 5th) and goes through tomorrow (Saturday, May 7th) They had a whole stack of them today at Noon when I was there. Don't miss out - there was lot of others things yesterday - but it's going fast.

I am interested in purchasing one (or more) - please e-mail me personally

Good Morning MafiaMan! I can't believe we all made it to work this morning. FYI, quit bragging about making it to 9:00 church when the rest of us Al Pearson Fan Bus Grand Forks people were just pulling into GF at 1:40 AM. After I dropped off all of my "posse" I pulled into my driveway at 2:30 AM - to bed by 3:00 - too jacked up to sleep right away - FINALLY died at 3:30 - alarm went off at 6:45 and made it to work by 8:00. Funny thing tho - that was the most sleep in one night I have had since once week ago today! My eyes are not fully open and I have that "quivery" feeling all over my body - kind of like when you get off a cruise ship. It was great meeting you and it will take at least a week to re-tell (remember) all the Columbus stories. Thanks to the Sioux for a memorable season and thanks to all the Al Bus People for a memorable 5 days. See you all again in about 6 months!

Thanks Sweeny - not that I needed an endorsement of what I am doing, but Hair ticked me off! Our family does most things together and yet we are all very independent of each other in our own "things". And by the way - I'm the kids mom, not dad! Does that make it worse???

YaneA - I love all of those ideas - go for it - make them!!!

Good heavens - chill man. My kid is a very well rounded, well adjusted kid and we have been to thousands (yes, thousands) of his things and his hockey games and his road trips, his scout outings, his church programs, yadda yadda. One missed school program won't send him screaming to therapy. If it was something really important I would not be missing it. We have an awesome relationship and do everything together - but he also knows I have a life and he encouraged me to go. He thinks the school play is stupid and would miss it himself if he could! And, yes it IS sometimes decades between trips to the Frozen Four. (1987 - 1997). And thanks for the character knock without even knowing me. Anyone who does that does not get a seat on the bus next to me!!!!!

Are you out of your mind!? How many times does the Frozen Four come up with the Sioux in it? And how many times will it be the Sioux/Gopher matchup??? Could there even BE anything better than that??? I too am a parent and I am missing my son's 5th grade program on Thursday night. It's his last hurrah in his last year of grade school and he is totally fine with it. If you grow up in a hockey family you know what the Frozen Four means and the Sioux/Goofer matchup. I'm on the bus, Gus!!! We leave Wednesday morning at 6:00 AM!!!

We rec'd a flyer with our season tickets that advertises a "full night of sports". I believe it was for Both nights (Fri and Sat). It included admission to the Penalty Box which will be showing the Sioux/Maine matchup and I think a ticket to the women's volleyball game being played on one side in the Betty and a ticket to the women's hockey game playing on the other side in the main Ralph. Not a bad package. Sounds like you can go from one venue to the other and back and forth the whole night.

I am surprised you didn't have Quinn, Rory or Colby in your choices. To lump them in the "other" category is a travisty! (or at least a faux pax)

I made that trip last season. Went on Al Pearson's fan bus. What a blast. We left at midnight on Thursday and drove all night. Pulled in to Houghton in the AM for breakfast - checked into the Best Western (where the team stays) then went to the rink to watch the Sioux practice. It is a nice hockey town. TONS of snow - lots of cute downtown shops - fun bars - a bazillion snowmobiles EVERYWHERE. If you are lucky enough to go there during their Winter Festival thing (not sure what it is called) that is something to see too. The bus took a day trip on Saturday - a real nice drive up the U.P. Tech's band was awesome - they liked the Sioux fans and came over to serenade us. Crowd was really small and the tickets are cheap. I believe Al is thinking of making that trip again this year - check it out!

Be still my heart! I will be holding my breath until I know for sure

Are you talking "Archie" as in JIM ARCHIBALD?? Oh my God - don't get me all excited like that just to tease me!

it's JIM Archibald and he is/was the best Sioux hockey player ever! NO one will ever surpas that PIM - my hero - I still wear his game worn jersey to every game!

Hak Attack - I like that!

I have two game-worn old Sioux jerseys from the 80's. They are the green road jerseys. One is Jim Archibald's - he was my absolute all time favorite Sioux player. It is my pride and joy - I wear it to every Sioux game and I plan to be buried in it! I do love the new logo and I have one of those jerseys too - I wear that one during the day of game days, but the ole' autographed Archie jersey comes out for the games. When he was inducted into the Sioux Hall of Fame last year I had thoughts of retiring the jersey too (to preserve it) - but I can't seem to bring myself to pack it away.
