Didn't he get dismissed in shame? They probably changed it to the Jim Tressel trophy... oh wait....he got in trouble too Uh, do they still have a trophy?

We got our tickets today. Front row C25!

What is hurting the women are some of the losses they took early in the season.

We can be there either Friday or Saturday, but I just voted for Friday so we would avoid the Saturday bouncy ball crowd.

I don't recall that happening in the Hoggsbreath era. Maybe it was because we had a couple years when we couldn't pick on the Gophers since they were no where to be found.

Mr. and Mrs. Siouxman will be there, Friday or Saturday. It is a great time. Not only that, MafiaMan usually has prizes, gives advice on parking around the X, and has stories about the SiouxSports.com youth hockey team in Gopher town. And as YaneA said, there are stories to be told.

Of course, we took that into consideration.

At the Country Inn and Suites in Roseville.

We had our family picture taken with the Sioux bus at Colorado Springs in 2011. We talked with the drivers and they said the team flew down but the bus drove down with all of the gear.

I know someone who is hoping, hoping, hoping that he doesn't get one (and it isn't me!)

The train goes right by the DU campus and you can walk from the station to the arena.

We spent Monday night in Brookings and got home about 11:15 am this morning. Brookings to Watertown was still mostly ice and compacted snow. That was the worst part. The best part was discovering that our neighbor arranged for a snow removal company to clean our driveway yesterday. A fantastic surprise as I was expecting to spend several hours doing that. Overall, this was a memorable trip. While the outdoor game was not a big thrill for us, the Sioux fans gathering by third base to cheer the team as it left the ice for the lockerroom was several moments to cherish. I can imagine the players will never forget it.

Was in Sioux Falls last night and now in Brookings for tonight. I might be home by Sunday. Maybe duckie races at the Holiday Inn Express tonight??

I-90 west from Sioux Falls is now open. As of 9:27 the SDDOT has REMOVED the following statement from the road report "winter maintenance has been suspended" for I-29 north. So it appears that snow plows are now out trying to open things up. Unfortunately, the winds appear to still be high in NE South Dakota as visibility is still reported at 1/8 mile or less at times. Even when roads open, travel will be slow as it appears the roads are covered in ice.

Pulled off at Sioux Falls, staying at the Comfort Inn for $70 (AARP rate). Lots of rooms still available and the desk clerk says he has had rowdy fans before. Also heard the AmericInn has a stranded motorist rate of $70. Talked to many people and checked road and weather conditions. Does not make sense to go beyond Sioux Falls.

What channel? I can't seem to find it.

Morley and Mr. and Mrs. Siouxman will be in attendance.

One good reason is because it does not take much reading on GPL when it comes UND or UND players, to figure out the vast majority of posters there do not have much class. There obviously are a few individuals on GPL who are quite civil, and can discuss hockey. I welcome them to this board any time, and have enjoyed the comments of a number of them here. Personally, I will give GPL credit for one thing though. As a result of the disgusting trash I have seen over there for a couple of years, I will not call anyone or any team by anything other than their proper name. I will not insult anyone nor make any comments of a personal nature.

Game Summary Gopher fans believe: UND fans come from a hillbilly town that has absolutely nothing, even if they have never been there The UND team consists of all 25 year old Canadians The only chance UND has of winning is to fight and take cheap shots after the whistle Watch out for UND players in the handshake line, they will double cross you Any player that goes to UND, UM didn't really want anyway Hakstol can only count to one (think about it) The Gophers let Holy Cross win The NC is won in October and November We is the greatest, so we don't travel to anybody else's house UND fans believe: The refs are in the gopher locker room telling the players they have their back covered and power plays will be 10-1 in favor of the Gophers If a UND player goes near a Gopher player the Gopher player is taught to face the glass and fall down Gopher players talk about playing with grit, which simply means facewashing and cheap shots after the whistle When Gopher players are challenged after they do a cheap shot, they hide behind Lucia or the ref and point fingers Gopher players are taught how to flop from birth If the Gophers get behind by two goals, Gopher fans suddenly remember they had a prior commitment and leave Holy Cross defeating the Gophers is the greatest upset in the history of college sports (well, isn't it?) If Hakstol calls a time out, it is all over for the Gophers Gophers can't win a NC without a North Dakota native on the team John Hill is the greatest UM assistant coach ever Gophers are afraid to travel or play a non-conference game against anyone ranked in the top 35 7>5 Please note that I don't claim any or all of them are true, it is just perception. Are there others I have missed?

Hmmm. I am retired and I was known for being a good writer. I can usually whip something out in a couple of days, unless you want it to actually say something valid or get funding for a project; That might take a little longer. I did let my professional engineer license lapse, so I would have to do it as a ghost writer and let you take the blame.

I've been going to the Final Five for many years and I seem to recall that the tickets do not show up until just a few weeks before the tournament. No need to get too worked up about it. I think that just leaves less time for the shysters to print up fake tickets and scam people. That stuff does happen.
