    What do you think of the logo now??

    You do realize you researched waxing/waning moon schedules to disprove a joke?

    I forgot to include when one of said team's players has a c- in a communications class. Back to your research... :lol:  

    Regardless of the stage of the moon, the rest of your comment checks out...

    Wax has 3 letters > Tucker Poolman is #3 > Poolman can be translated roughly to Pool Man in Norwegian > Norwegian has 9 letters > We are trying to capture our 9th championship.

    I'd also add and believe that this plays a part in this somehow, that Ludvig Hoff is Norwegian and he's number 27....2 + 7 = ????

    Also a fact, not a belief: UND has never won a national championship while the moon wanes, only waxes.  Wax has 3 letters > Tucker Poolman is #3 > Poolman can be translated roughly to Pool Man in Norwegian > Norwegian has 9 letters > We are trying to capture our 9th championship

    Whoa...

    Tried to submit and tells me...  "Picks are closed, the games are underway!"   Kinda scared me since I know UND is game #1 and I'm not at Scheels Arena!  ;)

    My guess:  The date to close... only the year was changed, not the day.

    Same here...I have 1 change to make and can't as it thinks the games have started.

    Paging @jimdahl!

    Brought back by popular demand due to discussion in another thread.  Was curious to see the fronts of the jerseys the respective teams won their NCAA titles in.  

    This needs to happen.  Shameless plug...but when the Bruins won the Cup in 2011 they moved from the same logo on all of their banners to the logo that was worn at the time the Cup was won.  They look great, don't they?!!!!! :)

    I gave them my credit card info yesterday.  Haven't seen anything yet, but I called just before I saw your post and they told me it went through.  Gave me the last for numbers on the card as well.  Hope they don't still have the whole thing.

    FYI, I also called Scheels Arena, and they said that Duluth will be bringing their own ticket people and they will have a separate table with the tickets.  Scheels told me, today, that the Duluth ticket booth would be open around 9:00 AM on Friday, and Duluth told me, yesterday, that the booth wouldn't be open until 1:00.  Does anyone know the correct info?

    The UMD ticket office told me 1pm . I wonder what they will say when I show up with my Sioux jersey on :)

    I was also told 1:00 pm.  And I'll be there full of green as well, but I don't think that'll surprise them.  When they called me to offer me tickets, they didn't seem too thrilled about it - I'm sure they knew I wasn't a Bulldog fan.  I've also heard stories about people calling them the past 2 days saying they were from the Duluth area, and while on the phone with them and giving them their name they looked them up on LinkedIn and wouldn't sell them tickets! :lol:

    Agree 100%.  I actually groaned out loud during the UND/Denver game last Friday when certain sections tried igniting the "SIOUX FOREVER" chant.  I wear the Sioux jersey, that's enough for me.

    Same here.  I will wear the Sioux jersey over the current replica jerseys,  but the Sioux Forever chant is somewhat embarrassing, IMO.  We aren't the Sioux anymore, as much as I hate to say it.  

    Should the Sioux pull out 2 big wins this weekend in Fargo, I'll be interested to hear if there are any "Sioux Forever" chants after the last horn.  After the championship game in 2015 at the West Regional it was pretty loud.  I wonder if now that we're 2 years removed if that'll quiet that down, or if it'll be as loud as ever in Fargo?

    So who do they replace Blais with?

    Gabinet - Coached Albert before Going to Omaha, former Omaha player. Current coach.

    Mike Hastings - A legend in Omaha

    Cary Eades

    Mike Guentzel

    George Gwozdecky 

    Rob Facca - helped build Western Michigan 

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Potulny throw his name in there either.

    Regional Tickets

    The south end of the arena has now been converted to seats.  The north end, where these SRO are, is next to the Zamboni door.  I believe that's where the students were last time around?

    You are correct.  And it is about 100% nicer on the south end of the arena now that they've put seats in (I'm guessing that was something the NCAA regional had to do with?).  I really wish they'd put seats in the north end now, too.  MUCH nicer.

    I don't agree on 2 of the goalie picks, Subban and Montoya. Subban is for the most part a bust, and there are teams with backups that are better then these two.

    If you are Vages the guy you want on the Wild is Zucker. 

    Yeah, there's a lot of things being thrown around now and I'm not sure I'm buying much of it yet.  Heck, if the Bruins can get rid of Subban and that's their "loss" from this expansion draft, I'd be ecstatic!

    Yeah im sure its likely only about 20 tickets which thousands of people will trying for. Vikings have a better shot at winning a super bowl than getting tickets...

     

    And @SWSiouxMN has a better chance landing a date with Scarlett Johansson and Katy Perry in successive nights...however that's just a Tuesday and Wednesday for @The Sicatoka! :)
