Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Darin Erstad stay at Nebraska a while longer than he could have because he was originally drafted by the Mets? I don't think that if a player stays in college to avoid playing on a team-okay, not necessarily to avoid being on that team, is wrong. What Eli Manning did was wrong....he could have at least smiled, put on the hat, the jersey, and made nice in front of the cameras...and then negotiated behind the scenes with San Diego to trade him. Not to mention that this all happened AFTER a small program in remembrance of A TRUE AMERICAN HERO (no matter how he died) Pat Tillman. Eli sucks, I'd take Phil Rivers anyday over that schmuck.

What kind of an impact could Chorney, Duncan, Oshie, and Toews have on other younger players that look up to them staying for their junior years? I would think that those guys are so well known across the nation that the freshman and sophomores coming up could look at them as an example and decide to play more years of college hockey.

I know nothing about Brian Idalski, but looking at his resume, he impresses me. Let's welcome him into the Fighting Sioux family and wish him the best of luck. The bottom line is bringing this team into a National Championship contender......that's it.

Ya had to twist my arm, but I'm in and I'm betting a $2 bill that Mr. HockeyMom will come with me.

You would have loved the BC fans behind us that told us to sit down BETWEEN PERIODS on Thursday night. They also had very little knowledge of the game of hockey. On Saturday night friends of ours two sections over did the "you sit" chant when we deliberatly stood right in front of them during periods. Funny shiz.

Yep. Decided to stay about 10am on Friday and cracked the Bud Light right there.

My stomach hurts from laughing at all the stuff that happened to us on the trip.

UGH!!!

I asked that same question when we ran into the plethora of porn.

Okay, I'll tell my story. The roads were crap and it took us what seemed like forever to get to Watertown, SD where we finally drove out of it. Had a pickup pass us on an icy stretch and start to fishtail......yeah that was fun. Made it to St. Louis about 1pm the next day, and checked into the cockroach in. OMFG we got what we paid for. This place was a dump....but it was only $49 a night. It's kinda funny when you think about it. There was a dusty 1/2 full can of Michelob Light on top of the entertainment center........hidden from plain sight. We also found a t-shirt that didn't belong to us. And housekeeping CALLED us to see if we wanted their services on Friday morning. THAT'S A SIGN THAT IT'S A CLASSY PLACE! Oh, I almost forgot, it was cold in our room so Mr. HockeyMom fired up the heater and smoke started coming out of it......it was about half a second away from combusting when he decided to shut it off. Oh, and it had two flat sheets on the bed and no fitted ones. It did have a airport shuttle that took us to the Metrolink station. The Metrolink, now that is a whole 'nother story.....we were trying to help a blind guy get off and the driver shut the door too fast.....and his cane got stuck in the door.......so he starts swearing that he missed his stop (we missed our's too). Mr. HockeyMom was trying to get his cane back inside the train and the people behind us were hitting the emergency stop button....the guy didn't stop the train. A group of people got on the train and were talking about all the weed that they had smoked and how they needed more, and this chic had a HUGE portable CD player and was dancing in the middle of the isle.....when the train slammed on it's brakes, she launched backwards and flew down the aisle almost falling over....and going from the front of the car to the back. Then there was the guy sleeping behind us that may have actually been deceased....... I swear, I could ride the train all day for entertainment purposes. We laughed almost all the way there and back, and except for a couple hours on Thursday night, had a great time. We're headed to Denver next year!

I wonder where that POS coach is now.

It's all good we started throwing people from the bandwagon yesterday.

Or stolen by Madonna.

Maybe they'll combine it all together.

Maybe that kid that looks up to the TRIOUXP will have some insight.

It was so loud, no one even heard it. Good job!

You looked like an idiot.

We didn't see any Sioux shirts on Thursday after the BC game.

I'll believe a player is gone when I read an article says that they have signed, or know that they have stayed when I see them hit the ice at The Ralph in October. Go Sioux!

Can we make the bandwagon go in reverse?

I hope they take as long as they need to get it right.

The best thing you said is that you're considering giving up your season tickets....I'll be the first one to tell you not to let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. I take it personally that you said the boys quit.....I was there, they did not quit. The loss was disappointing, yes, but to give up on the team because they lost is total crap, you should be ashamed to call yourself a Sioux fan. The bandwagon has stopped, get off and stay off.

Sorry, there's only 5 fingers on my hand so I can't count to 6.

It was a couple blocks west of the Scottrade, they had all kinds of hockey stuff going on down there....we watched the three Hobey finalists sign autographs on Friday. We just stood there watching how genuinely excited Ryan Duncan was to be there and to talk to fans. We weren't sure when we left Thursday's game if we were going to take off and head home, and then we decided that we were already there and we might as well take in as much of the experience as we could. I'm glad we did. The hockey fans from everywhere were fun to watch and to talk to. They do, but I have no idea who made it......if I was to guess I'd say Lerg, Abdelkader, and Kennedy......and two BC players.
