And now it looks like I will not be able to attend. Have fun!

Just got home from the game. It was fun. But the drive home was not. Many many accidents on the interstate from Grand Forks going south. Many vehicles in the ditch with some of them rolled over and lying on the roof. Traffic was moving well below the speed limit and in the area of accidents was down to 5 mph.

Perunovich from UMD has signed.
I'd give it a couple of days to make sure it isn't retracted!

Not a Sioux memory, but a memory many of us will never forget. For those that were there, it was nothing like I have ever experienced before!! And you can watch. All again on March 27th!!
That was pure insanity. After the Minnesota-Holy Cross game the Sioux fans were walking around The Ralph doing anti-Gopher cheers. It was just nuts in the arena.

Pete Bain is a life-saver! I moved to the Twin Cities almost 30 years ago and it was not an easy thing to see Sioux hockey on the local media unless they were in town playing the Gophers. Anyway, this guy (Mr Bain) comes on the SiouxSports site around 2005 and says he can hook you up for all the Sioux home games for the price of a dish and a receiver...something called FTA (Free to air) signal and all you needed was the proper equipment and be pointed at the correct satellite. Long story short, I got the UND home games in the comfort of my own living room for about 10 years until the NCHC came into existence. Anyway, during the time I was getting the games, I met some interesting people while trying to upgrade my satellite system. One gal who delivered a larger dish to me was a former UND student around the same time I was in Grand Forks.
She was telling me how her and her friends would throw Gofers onto the ice after goals...I asked her how the heck she got them into the arena since they searched everyone when they came in. She said they would walk over to the Old Ralph on Thursday afternoons and tape dead gophers underneath the seats and then on Friday they would rush in to claim those seats. Now thats dedication!!
Some dead gophers were incredible musicians!

It simply isn't possible to pick out the best game. I've seen live chickens, dead gophers, and dead badgers in the arena. I witnessed the all-out pregame fight with Wisconsin. I was at the game with Michigan when the Sioux were down 8-5 when timeout was called with six minutes left in the game, and a comeback for a 9-8 win about a minute into overtime. I've heard the old Ralph so loud my college buddy beside me couldn't hear me yell into his ear. I was at the miracle comeback win against MN. My only bummer is that I have been to six national championship tournaments, none of which UND won. Our kids have banned me for life from the national championship games.

It is usually at one of the bars just across the street to the north from the arena toward the team hotel. Can't remember the name of the place.
We have never missed a series in Omaha. In the early years the Omaha fans used to thank us for coming, and were so appreciative of UND fan attendance. Not quite so much any more.

We were sitting directly behind the St. Cloud bench, as in the second row. The entire game the SCSU coach would hold out his hands like "what the heck is going on" every time a St. Cloud player got touched. At every whistle stoppage the St. Cloud captain or a St. Cloud assistant captain would go to the ref and complain. It was finally early in the third period when one of the officials came to the St. Cloud bench and ripped into the St. Cloud coach non-stop for a couple of minutes. I could not hear what was being said, but it appeared to me the official was tired of hearing all of the complaining and bitching by SCSU. It didn't matter, as the very next time an SCSU player with the puck was checked the coach held out his hands like "what the heck is going on."

When he was on the big screen did he yell, “Load up the bus, we’re going to Detroit”?
I can't say yes or no. As soon as I saw it was MafiaMan I covered my eyes.

MafiaMan was in the house and on the big screen last night. I am not sure, but that may be why it malfunctioned in the third period.

I wasn't old enough to go to Frenchy's legally. Some older guys got me in one of my first nights at UND...I turned 19 early in 2nd semester so frequented the east side establishments.
I know that there was a process in place, due to the massive number of mugs, if a mug was not used for a period of time it was moved into storage to make more room for mugs that were being used.

18 year old me ended up in Frenchy's one of my first nights in Grand Forks. Signed up for mug. 2 1/2 years later when I turned 21 I returned and they couldn't find it?
If I recall correctly, there were so many mugs at Frenchy's they couldn't all be hung up. So mugs that had not been used for a while went into storage. Did you really go 2 1/2 years without using it? Hard to believe.

I don't know. I graduated in 1978 and took mine with me.

Figured I’d give actual prior notice that I plan on streaming the Friday game that is on CBSSN. Not totally sure about the Saturday game as I may not be home for it.
Doesn't matter to me. I will be in attendance.

Does Miami have an online feed for students that could be tied into?

Is there any other way to watch it? Don't have CBS Sports. Might have to have supper at a restaurant with TV service!!
