  1. Any UND viewing parties in the Minneapolis area. I know Joe Sensors used to do them, but not certain anymore
  2. finally.... now if I went through all this hassle an the Sioux play like crap, I will not be happy
  3. Nothing... keeps telling me I can't watch video with this account and its the audio broadcast I am trying...
  4. has anyone been able to actually listen to a game on this new "JUMPTV" that UND has gone to this year? I have registered again, and it still will not let my login. Even using the email password it sends me, it tells me that "this login can not watch video, login in again". All I want to do is listen to the free audio broadcast
  5. Holy crap, I live on the north side of the metro area, Ham Lake can't be more than 8 miles to the east.
  6. While I don't condone what Haks did. You really need to take off the rose colored glasses, I can't count the times I have watched FSN and heard Lucia say "bull$hit" or drop the f-bomb on TV. Woog's even been caught saying it when he has been doing the commentary. Woog even admitted it on TV that he was suspended for something he said. Every coach and player on the ice has been guilt of that, so enough. What's classless is you deny that Lucia or Woog are "above that".
  7. If I every run into you in Grand Forks, I owe you one "BIG ASS" beer (or two). A heart-filled thanks, just does seem to be enough!
  8. Good catch, Fetch .... (no pun indeeded.. Ok maybe a little) Thanks
  9. What about "Warriors", using a Norse Warrior as the logo/image? Fits with the "Force of the North" slogan that has been spreading around. EDIT: This would also have a duel meaning in that back the the Airbase had bombers, I remember some AF personnel wearing jackets that said "Force of the North" with pictures with Vikings and bombers superimposed onto one another. I also believe there was a squadron named the Warriors. In a time when our military is doing so much for us, it maybe fitting to honor them for the past, present, and future. Just a thought
  10. Anyone have any ideas about where in the Twin Cities I can catch the game???
  11. You guys have this dead on.. It has nothing to do with that they don't have loyality to the program, but they have a larger loyality to themselves and the rest of their lives. Look at it like this.... You finish your soph. year having another solid season (most of these guys have played a year or two of juniors also so they aren't your normal sophs either), you are drafted and the team offers you the league min of $250-$350 a year (normally for 3 years) plus a small signing bonus. Now, you have to decide if you stay. You probably have 200+ practices and 40+ games the next season. Any of them could cause a career ending injury, which means you don't get any money and the golden ticket is gone for good, and even if you do come back, you now have a big question mark over your head that every team is going to think about during their contracts talks with you. So do you gamble and stick around to see if you can get your name on a trophy or do you take the money, which will help you make life alot easier, and try and get your name on a REAL trophy. Its not a real difficult choice, there are far too many opportunites to get injuried to not take the money. And as for flaming someone for stating a little inside info... "Lighting up Francis" It's called inside info for a reason. If it had a "link" it wouldn't be inside info. So just read it and chill, just because you didn't hear about it first doesn't mean it false. Unless the poster has a record of making BS rumor posts, there is a good chance of what they are saying is going to happen, will actually happen. [stepping off soap box ]
  12. Jim - Just wondering the status of this hacking investigation. I do internet development and this "situation" has implication in the work I do. Just wondering. Thanks
  13. For what it is worth, I have also heard that it is possible that Spirko may not be back. Because of the whole fiancee thing (there are other considerations also, but this is the BIG one ). This comes from people I know within the hockey program, normally I don't post on issues such as this because of those "insiders". But this is different because things have gotten out of hand. If he goes back to Europe to be close to her, he has my support and best wishes for him and the mrs. But I will still be depressed as hell. I truely believe we won't know for certain until next season, when he/they decide what is best for their relationship and his career. Hopefully if he doesn't come back, people won't be comparing Spirko's fiancee to Yoko Ono.
  14. Anybody see the play by play on the NCAA board that they credited the first hit of the game (1:16 in the first) to Robbie Bina? :D
  15. As you are always bashing people about their knowledge of the "true" Sioux, such as yourself, it is amazing how lacking you are about the culture we talk about. You stupidity is overwhelming... So here are a couple of culture diversity lessons for you. 1) Very few Vikings were raiding tribes or villages, and yes, they were referred to tribes. Most were traders. They traded items all over Europe, Africa and Asia. They traded a great deal with Orient. Most of the long distant traveling was done on land in caravans, not by boat. 2) Vikings never had helmets with horns. 3) Viking settlements still exist today, but are not known as "Viking settlement" due to the fact that their culture has evolved with time. The city of Kiev, along with many of the larger cities in that region were original Viking/Scandinavian trading settlements. Do they still do cultural things as their ancestors did. Yes they do. Do they claim to be Vikings; no they claim to be Ukrainian now. Why, do they claim to be Ukrainian now? Why did my grandfather and his grandfather before him claim to be Canadian, rather then Viking? The same reason you claim to be Sioux, instead of Asian or European, were your true ancestors came from. The one thing you seem to not understand, GK, is cultures evolve. You may ride horse, or sleep in a teepee, or serve in the armed forces (which as much as I despise you for your other traits, I truly thank you for) but that doesn't make you a Sioux of olden days. You don't ONLY live in a teepee, you do not migrate with the Bison, you don't farm and hunt solely for your food. You have a house/apartment/condo, which is stationary, you go to the store to get most your food. Culture is nice GK, but it is also the past. Even if you could, you would never go back to the way it was 500 years ago. Don't try and fool yourself.
  16. Well.. They honor it better than you do.
  17. Heard you were standing on your head again this year. Nice work (again) Bryce... Hope to see you at next years game
  18. Next year, you and I just drink in that stands and see how that works out for everyone
  19. Well, I guess we know where the weak link is... I miss my first SS/POI game and the SS team wins. I will have to petition next year just to be allowed in the arena. Good job guys and gal
  20. Prediction: Gophers by 4 and Earl has cast on leg by Sunday and uses it as an excuse in WI papers
  21. I lost the audio feed... anyone still have it?
