Thank you. I PM'd you and left my name and number. They still don't have anything.

Right, but his cousin Sioux Hockey Fanatic and he are bidding on some on Ebay. (But I see they don't have the bid anymore.) I think he decided he would go to Milwaukee and even if he has to watch it on TV somewhere there, it will still be a good time. And I don't think it will be too difficult to get into Session 1 if you don't mind sitting alone.

What rock has he been living under?

It's because us people who are from North Dakota don't have computers and/or electricity at home.

I was not complaining or looking for sympathy. I was only telling the saga of one Sioux Crew member's events in trying to aquire a ticket for the best seats in the house for a Sioux fan. It was UND/Sioux Crew who called him and told him to come and pick up a ticket meant for the Sioux Crew that had been put up for sale on Ebay. He works full time, he could not go spend hours in line waiting. He worked until 2AM and went to check at 5AM and was number 53. That was fine with him. He was just elated when he got that call, and equally disappointed when it did not pan out. In my opinion, it was not a very smart move to put a ticket up for sale on Ebay without the intention of selling it.. just to see how much it "might" sell for. Isn't that against Ebay policy? Anyway. Go enjoy the game. Sioux Hockey Fanatic is working on it.. even if they have to "storm the doors or pretend they are band members"! (SHF.. he plays the cello, do you think they could use a cello in the pep band?) GO SIOUX!!! (I am so fired up!)

I have a funny story about things that happen on Ebay. One of my son's hockey coaches saw an old Zamboni for sale on Ebay. Just for the heck of it, he bid on it, thinking someone would surely outbid him. Well, he won the bid and had to round up a truck and trailer to go get the darn thing.. and it was quite a distance away. He did end up getting it sold again and I think he got his money out of it, but he was kinda nervous about it for awhile. And of course his wife had a lot to hold over his head for some time. I also read this on uscho.com I have no idea how they could track this, but I don't want to lose my priority.. or anything else for that matter.

I just want everyone here to know that Sioux-cia is one of the nicest people on this board. She goes above and beyond! WOOHOO, GO SIOUX!

Hey, thanks for the link! I like Sioux fans like you. We were in Columbus last year and people were at the door almost giving tickets away. But last year was a little bit different because it was not so close to any team that was participating in it. Wisconsin has a big hockey fan base. Ohio did not, apparantly, as the building was hardly full.

Thank you.. I have had my tickets for some time too (we applied April 1, 2005). I am just trying to get another for a college kid that didn't know where he would be at or how much money he would have at this time of year. Thank you for your kind concern.

So, the ticket drama continues. The tickets that my son was supposed to get was one of those that was put on Ebay and the Sioux Crew people told the Ebayer to bring it back so they could get it to another Sioux Crew person that was actually going to be going to Milwaukee. So he went to pick it up at 8:30 AM and the guy refused to bring it back in, so the Sioux Crew is being nice enough to try to find my son another ticket. Silly people.. its just so frustrating! He says he is going to make the trip to Milwaukee anyway and have fun even if he doesn't get a ticket. Maybe I will just give him mine.

I do have a question. We are coming on Amtrak and staying at the Ramada Inn downtown. On the map it looks like it is just a few blocks walk to the hotel, but it crosses 794. Is there a way to walk across? It is hard to tell on a map.

My son got a Sioux Crew ticket! They called him tonight! I told him I thought I was more excited than he was and he assured me that I was not.

Seriously, with all the people looking to see what was up with RP, you probably used up all of your allocated bandwidth. I know, I am a geek.

My son had to work until 2AM but went to get in line anyway. He was #53. So we continue our search for another ticket.

The University of North Dakota Country?

Is Potulny's leaving why I got this message while I was lurking at GPL? (I don't have a username there.)

Did they have colored video cameras back then?

Bummer.

I think it would be fun to just be in Milwaukee, even if you had to watch it at a sports bar somewhere.. or tailgating in the parking lot! We were in Columbus last year and the games were great fun, but it was just as much fun just hanging around the city and having complete strangers look at your Sioux jersey and yell GO SIOUX. We got tickets in the lottery for ourselves. Now we are looking for tickets for our about to become Alumni son who was number 53 in the Sioux Crew line this morning.

Maybe they can haul up some of those fema trailers that the Denver blogger was talking about Sioux fans living in.

I had an "Indian Taco" for lunch today at a local restaurant. Am I going to be OK? Maybe our friend should go there and protest.

There was a group of about 6 30-35 year old Goofer fans sitting a row behind and to the left of me. When they lost, they sat there speechless with their arms folded over their big "M" jerseys for a good 20 minutes. I think a couple of them were even crying. I didn't see them after that. There was a group of Gophers we met after the game that were being pretty good sports. We (and others) bought them some "green" shots to ease their pain.

It's because he is so old.

You are too funny. It was fun to see you at the Long Haul!

I thought the Wisconsin fan they had the camera on was going to have a heart attack. He almost collapsed after the goal. I think his wife was holding him up. I felt so bad for Robbie "the Diver" Earl when he had to keep going back to the box and have the team help him over the boards. And the camera just kept showing him on his knees on the floor in the box, like that made him some kind of hero. I was glad he didn't get the game winner.
