It,s hard to have any kind of pass coverage when your corners are at least 10 yards off of the receivers

But enough about the Bison We've had some pretty slow years under Mussman including last year's 3-8 and the most humiliating defeat I can remember since I have been a Sioux fan (60's) - Sioux Falls State Time to Cowboy Up and beat some people or step aside and let someone who can run this program Time to get some buzz about the Sioux We need to get better in a hurry

Agreed - some of the games are pathetic If we don't put up 50 on Sioux Falls State Mussman should do the right thing and resign - We need to wash the taste out of our mouths of the worst Sioux loss ever

This is pathetic and is an indication of the way things are going at UND. Someone needs to tell Kelley that we don't do things this way in North Dakota Having a hatchet woman come in and do this kind of dismissal to someone who has dedicated their life to UND and being conveniently out of town is disgraceful. Maybe this is the Wyoming way, but here we treat loyal people with dignity and respect I'm disgusted

We suck at dice rolling

Stupidest sign ever done by a bunch of pointy heads - it makes it hard for normal people to give their support

Good thread - I agree with almost all of your assessment One of the strengths of our program and one of the reasons people are still high on Hak is the culture he has created. A real strength of our program I also liked the pace of this season - no underachieving for the first half and a furious rally the second. I think this gets us into the playoffs in much better shape Although I am not a huge fan of dump and chase and the continuous cycle, I saw signs of some great offensive creativity this year. When we buzz we torment people.

Agree with your frustration 0 for 5 isn't what Sioux Hockey is all about

Not the banner we want

Is it asking too much for the best team in the country to actually get set up on a power play - let's not waste our opportunities

Dump and chase Dump and chase

They took him off on a board - precautionary I think we aren't adjusting to being played tight - I hope we figure it out

In addition to Dell's play, I think one of the most important factors in the Regional was the fact that we did not go into a conservative shell when we got up two. We kept on the pressure and the floodgates opened. We need to play our game for 60 minutes and not get too conservative with a lead. When we are full bore, we can put up 6 on anyone.

I'll admit to wanting Hak to win a championship before we call him a great coach. However, on a personal basis I think Hak is a great humble guy. My interactions with him on a personal level have left me feeling impressed. He is a genuinely nice guy who cares about other people and doesn't think he is better than anyone. One measure of character is how you behave when "no one else is looking". My experience with Hak is that he is a great guy whether or not people are watching. A class act.

The Moorhead States of the world polluted Division II football, now they want to do it to Division I Hockey? No way they should be allowed to

To put this season in prospective - He had the two best players in the country walk in unsolicited. We still don't have the supporting cast to be a top contender. This team is still a work in progress - evaluate this team if he didn't have the twins. That is what he has managed to recruit in the past 4 years. What we have now is a work in progress. I hope we can finish putting the pieces together. We have a nice team this year, but I'm not sure it is because of Idalski. Still some work to do.

I'm surprised we didn't see Eidsness - I think it would be to our advantage to give him some playing time before the playoffs.

Not saying he should play ahead of Dell (who has been great in my book), just saying that I was hoping we would try to get Eids sharper just in case. I think that going with one goalie exclusively has some risks. Remember, Eidsness was getting some HOBY mention pre-season.

I wonder if we'll see Eidsness this weekend and next? I have a feeling we'll need him before the season is over. I had hoped he would get more work during the season.

Player of the game in my opinion - Dell. He made some great saves when we needed to keep the momentum. Sometimes I think he makes it look so simple that his play is underrated. Great positioning and fantastic poise. If the team continues to play like this, we'll be tough to beat.

Love the Jucy Lucy which is a Minneapolis invention - You are correct about signature food.

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant are from a band even you may have heard of - Led Zepplin. No, I did not go and enjoy the bullriding Look - I didn't make up this constant comparison to the Fargodome - the supporters of the Alerus did before the vote. My take was always that we won't be able to compete for entertainment, but the supporters position was "just see - we'll get in great entertainment - people will travel to see it". Pre-vote there was no mention of not being able to compete- blaming those of us who bring up these campaign promises is crazy. I for one don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth even though we got in the Harlem Globetrotters (who could have easily performed in the Betty). What's more - I feel that I was promised a much better effort by people who would say anything to get it built.

I disagree - when campaigning for the Alerus, the promise of concerts to compete with Fargo was a big selling point and for the first couple of years they did very well. I consider the total lack of entertainment that I am interested in a broken promise made by people who would say anything to get the vote to go their way. Complaints about concerts losing money don't wash with me when you look at which concerts we get. The Fargo Dome gets Page and Plant, the Rolling Stones, John Mellencamp, and Eric Clapton. The Alerus gets Brittany Spears, Cher, and the the 69 year old Neil Diamond. Of course we are going to lose money. I don't expect the Alerus to make money, but I do expect some entertainment I am interested in besides Sioux Football, which I was attending before the Alerus.

The menu changes and price increases after the sale were ridiculous. We went there to support the new owners shortly after the turnover and ended up walking out after looking at the menu. How you can screw up an established business so fast is amazing. Many people I know tried to support and patronize Whitey's, but had such bad experiences that they left.
