Thanks for all of the advice so far. Whistler, please expand/explain what "I'd take a corner anywhere as long as you are inside the near board" means. BTW . . . I'll always be a Sioux fan (born and raised Sioux fan) . . . I think the only time I could see me cheering for BSU over the Sioux is October 15, 2010. We get to the REA 3-4x a year and plan to continue the tradition.

BSU goes left to right twice (attack end is right side twice per game). The students are also on the right side/end of the rink.

Hi all. I live in Bemidji and will be selecting season tickets for the new BSU arena. I know many of you went through a similar process and had to make similar decisions when they were building The Ralph. We're a family of four with two boys in hockey. Choices basically are "silver" totaling $2100, "bronze" totaling $1700 or non-donation (pink) totaling $1300. Here is a seating chart. Besides the obvious better seats, the silver provides free parking at the arena, along with a few more perks than bronze. With non-donation, you don't get any perks (ie football tickets, etc). You can park on site - but it will be pretty far away and will be $5-10 per night. So I wanted to know, if any of you could select your seats again, what would you do different? With our boys getting older (one entering Squirts) we'll be eventually traveling more, etc. Any favorite sections within the silver, bronze or pink? Thanks!

Hextall for Friday Frattin for Saturday

TSN bought the rights for these olympics.

At least it's a little easier wanting the Gophers to win this year . . . I do like the "Lose CC" battle cry much more though.

I brought this up to the SID in the early Fall. They don't have support for BB or iPhone's yet (that I'm aware of).

From QuickFacts (Fiona)/Twitter: "Seems radio pundits, others, setting up conclusion QF came to last season, that Don Lucia likely to resign after this season."

I've had success with Firefox and Safari. I don't the the video is available through Fightingsioux.com - only through the B2network.

Don't forget Bemidji State currently tied for 5th.

Per Brad's tweet: "Expect Derek Shepherd and Marco Hunt to ref this weekend's games. Also sounds like Greg Shepherd will be in attendance." Yee-hah! It will be an interesting weekend.

Eidsness on 740 with Hammer.

There's quite a few of us Sioux/BSU fans along Hwy 2. I see a few Sioux hats or jerseys at BSU games. Heck, I saw Sioux jerseys at the BSU/UMD game Saturday in Duluth.

What are the supposed advantages of major juniors and the other Canadian leagues over going the college route?

I'm looking for 26" goalie leg pads - ideally used and in very good condition. Not much selection here in Bemidji. Looking for something similar to RBK 7K, Vaughn's or Bauers. Also looking for a youth chest protector. PM me if you have any coming up for sale or if you've seen any around. Thanks.

xl hammer is right. The important factor is refresh rate. For watching puck, you'll want at least a 120 refresh rate. Generally, the higher the contrast rate, the better the picture quality. If your room has windows, you'll want an LCD (glare on plasma). For brands, be sure to compare apples-to-apples/model # to model # when price shopping. I personally prefer Samsung, LG, Sharp and Mitsubishi. Do not buy a $100 HDMI cord - they all relay a digital signal. Go to Menards, or wherever, or on the web and pick one up for $30.

Kristo - Friday Trupp - Saturday

I've plugged my laptop with the Sioux audio into the stereo. It was about a minute behind the TV broadcast. We have a DVR, so I paused it for about a minute or so, tweaked a little and it was spot on. Ah . . . the joys of being a Sioux fan.

From the BTN web site: "Former Wisconsin captain and current Chicago Blackhawks winger Adam Burish and former Minnesota and now retired NHL veteran Darby Hendrickson will rotate as studio analysts for the network's shows alongside studio host Rick Pizzo, who played goaltender at the NCAA Division III level." I don't mind Wooger, but I don't know if I've ever heard Frank really ever complement an opposing team - especially the Sioux. I think you could have a drinking game every time those two take a dig at the Sioux!

Or a Robert Morris sweep of Miami.

From UND Hockey via Twitter: Kristo, Zajac expected back in UND lineup this weekend. However, Brett Hextall out 4-6 wks w/ undisclosed injury.

Well, there ya go then. Kudos.
