Hey SiouxMeNow, Is the shirt full of Widmans Chippers crumbs? GO FIGHTING SIOUX! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS--BEAT NAVY!

Thanks for the pictures Uncle! Is someone in the stands wearing a pink Sioux shirt? If the team colors are being changed to pink and white and the nickname is changed, I may have to start rooting for Wisconsin or Minnesota-Twin Cities. Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh GO FIGHTING SIOUX! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS--BEAT NAVY!

We are going to start playing Navy and Army each year. They rarely get blown out,play disciplined football,and have real students on their team. I think just about every college sports fan roots for the three academies to do well. Oops, this has nothing to do with Sioux hockey. GO FIGHTING SIOUX HOCKEY AND FOOTBALL!!!

Just got on--who will be in goal tonight? Thanks. GO FIGHTING SIOUX! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS--BEAT NAVY!

Here is the logo of the WHA Minnesota Fighting Saints. I remember the team we had here for a year,the New Jersey Knights who became the San Diego Mariners,My Webpage used to play in an arena that had chicken wire on top of the boards instead of glass. The Minnesota team used to play in the Saint Paul Civic Center and they had clear boards.

Thanks for the "good lucks to Rutgers" posts. GO FIGHTING SIOUX!!! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS!!! AND HOPE THEY HAVE WIDMANS CHIPPERS AT THE ARENA THIS YEAR SIOUX ME NOW!!!

If not too much trouble, could one of you pick up an extra poster,calendar,schedule magnet,etc. at the Meet the Sioux Night for me? Just let me know how much the postage would be. Thank you Sioux fans. GO FIGHTING SIOUX--BEAT MANITOBA! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS--BEAT NAVY!

Hello Fightingsiouxforlife, Almost every day, we are hearing rumors about Greg Schiano going to Miami,Penn State, the NFL etc. When he came here, he said he came to build something great and something that would last. We are quite a ways from a National Championship, but we are light years from where the program was five years ago. When he arrived, we were a Division 1 program in name only. The strength and conditioning coach said our players were on the level of the Ivy League--the low end of the Ivy League! The kids that are signing with Rutgers are mostly from New Jersey,Pennsylvania, New York, and Florida--or as Coach Schiano calls it "The State of Rutgers." These players wouldn't have even visited under the previous coaches. Everything has been booming the past couple years--crowds, TV games,media coverage, merchandise sales,etc. What has changed is the attitude he brings to the school and the state. Previous coaches would go into a kid's home and tell the parents "we hope your son comes to Rutgers." Schiano walks in and tells them all the good things about the college and the potential for the school to be a Top 15 program year in and year out. He tells the parents and the players, "Why wouldn't you want to stay and go to your own university and team.? The whole mindset in New Jersey has changed about Rutgers football. A few years ago, every child in kindergarten in New Jersey was given(from a donor) a book called "Meet the Scarlet Knight." It was a silly,but fun book, about the mascot getting ready on game day and going over to the stadium and the game. Tens of thousands of kids on Pop Warner teams were given free T-shirts and low price tickets to RU games. Then last year the winning finally became an expectation instead of a rare occurence. Then the first bowl game in 27 years. Now a 5-0 record and the first national ranking in 30 years. I do not know the man personally, but he and everyone around here knows that this is his baby. He started this from nothing. If he were in it for the money, he knows he can get more from other places. I don't think he will leave though. Just like Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech and Joe Paterno at Penn State, this can be his program for years to come. I could be wrong, but I think he will stay for the long term.

Thanks so much Sioux-cia. The game was never in doubt GO NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING SIOUX!!! GO RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS!!!

Here is an article about Travis Zajac,Jordan Parise,DMy Webpageavid Hale, and Zach Parise from today's Newark Star-Ledger--

YaneA,Mr and Mrs SiouxMeNow,PCM,Vegas,DaveK,Siouxdonym,Siouxcia and all of you Fighting Sioux hockey fans out there----enjoy a GREAT upcoming hockey season!!! GO FIGHTING SIOUX! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS!

His brother,Darnell, recently gave us a verbal commitment. He is a 6-6, 318 pound high school senior and he is supposed to be a better player. Five years ago, we wouldn't have been able to get a kid like this to even give us a look. GO FIGHTING SIOUX! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS!

Thanks Shawn! If we beat South Florida Friday night on ESPN, RU will be 5-0 for the first time since the undefeated 1976 team. NORTH DAKOTA---#3 IN THE NATION RUTGERS---#23 IN THE NATION

Congratulations on the great start to the season! GO NORTH DAKOTA--BEAT AUGUSTANA! GO RUTGERS--BEAT SOUTH FLORIDA!

Thank you Sprig. Have to go now--I just got a new record by some new guy named Elvis! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS! GO FIGHTING SIOUX!

Once again, I have proved to everyone,including myself, that I should never use anything more complicated than candles and a washboard. Anyway, the article is from the September 20 Asbury Park Press(www.app.com).

Here is a recent article about Zach Parise--My Webpage

SiouxMeNow, I guess you have been backsliding again

Thanks SiouxMeNow, The atmosphere for Rutgers football is incredible around here now. Almost every game this year is on ESPN,MSG, or CSTV. We have just had our fifth and sixth biggest crowds ever and will possibly have a sell-out this Saturday even though it is our third home game in three weeks. Merchandise sales are soaring compared to past years and the media coverage is a lot better despite all the pro teams we have in the New Jersey-Philadelphia-New York City area. Kids everywhere are now wearing Scarlet Knights shirts and caps which is something we never saw in the past because of years of struggle. I think we have a chance to go 8-4 and,unless the bottom falls out, we will go to a bowl for a second straight year. Earlier this decade, we had 0-11 and 1-10 seasons and there was talk of us going down to Division 1-AA. Now the rumor mill has Miami trying to get Coach Schiano to go back to the Hurricanes if they make a change down there. I don't know if this would happen because Schiano didn't just come to a program with an empty cupboard--there wasn't even a cupboard. Everything from academics to wins to overall image has improved greatly. This is his baby and hopefully he will stay to see how far we can go. What a great 12 months for our program! GO FIGHTING SIOUX! GO SCARLET KNIGHTS!
