  1. Few things.

    Other than a few prick UND fans, the visit was very pleasant in terms of conduct. In the lobby a guy came up and asked me about USF..spoke for a second..and I shook his hand and said, "good luck", like you would any opponent you just met....to which he replied, "yer gonna need it..haha" Other than the occasional moment like that, the UND fans seemed a bit humbled in the dome. Several Sioux fans come up and shook hands and said nice things about USF and such..and while I realize USD fans and Augie people have said that UND folks are the worst, I have to say that I didn't see that.

    First off, I'm very proud to be a Coo fan from Sioux Falls..our young men came into a tough place to win and frankly broke the spirit of the Sioux..physically. I'm gonna be real straight with you folks here....I thought the Sioux would be athletic and more physical..and that the athletic difference at this level would be the hardest thing for USF to overcome. After watching USF drive down the field after the opening kickoff, I could see USF every bit as athletic as the Sioux..which suprised me.

    Having watched 2 Sioux games coming into this, and then watching virtually all the Coo games over the last few years....I feel very comfortable saying that USF is FAR better coached than the Sioux..not even close. The adjustments and gameplanning from USF, versus the inability to adjust by UND was almost funny to Coo fans. "Looks like they fell for the screen again" USF doing the short kicks and UND making no adjustment to that..just poor special teams coaching there. The continual undisciplined penalties and such..it will never put a team in a good position to succeed. USF kept the UND defense off balance pretty much the entire game....and if USF didn't take their foot off the gas in the 4th, frankly it would have been worse than it was. Believe it. USF's scheme and preparation was an A for this game, while the UND coaches were about a D+.

    I went into the game being scared to death of Bamba....and he hit the deep ball early and I thought, "here we go", but the next time they went there USF tricked UND and got an easy pick. After Bamba realized they weren't trying the homerun ball anymore, he seemed to lose motivation..and didn't seem to care to sell out for any of the short passes..dropping nearly everything thrown his way.

    As I hoped/figured, Holleman (2 INT) and Zo Brown (4 tds) would have to make plays for USF..and they did. Zo is a fantastic talent, and USF only turns him loose when they need to. USF tackled well (Cody Cavender, #23) and had few mistakes.

    I fully realize that the brunt of the Sioux fans think it's all about UND having a horrible showing to an NAIA team....but if USF dominates the NAIA level how do we really know how good they are? USF needs to take games like this to test themselves. I think they passed the test yesterday..and became legit to all the haters such as USD and Augie people.

    Impressive stadium and UND folks seemed like good people.

    Later.

    That makes a whole lot of sense there. Hell i'm still shaking my head from yesterday's game at the SWAMP with Arkansas. First of all we were & I repeat were "VERY LUCKY" to win that game. Second it's going to take 6 months to get rid of the odor in the SWAMP because we stunk up the place to be honest with you. That's what I think others will think different.

  2. You folks scare there for a second. When I saw USF & I will be the first to admitted this, the first thing that came to my mind was the school that's right down the street from me. The University of South Florida (that USF). Forgive me for getting this confess that happens sometimes. In closing GO SIOUX & GO GATORS.

  3. Congrats on your win against SUNY I just left the GATOR/LSU game it was a great game & Tebow wasn't too bad either. Though at first he was like a deer in the headlights but later on in the game he turn out ok.

    GO SIOUX & GO GATORS

  4. If you have access to Fox College Sports on either cable television or on DirecTV you will be able to see it there. It should also be available on the Internet at www.fightingsioux.com. The webcast isn't free, but can be purchased by the game, the month or for the year.

    THANK YOU.

  5. Quick question. Is the game going to broadcast on the web & if so how do I go about getting it? If anyone has the answer could they please be kind enough to post it please thank you.

  6. Maybe someone has the answer to this & can help me out here. I'm down here in Florida & I want to catch some of the SIOUX HOCKEY games. I have Directv , what channel do I have to get in order to catch the games? If anyone knows could the please be kind enough to post it please. Thank you.

  7. Well at least i'm a Florida State fan hell they lost to of all people USF (University of South Florida) 17-7 if that don't bite you in the you know where I sure don't know what will?

  8. I saw a better picture of the new Black third on Facebook last night. I like it, and it doesn't have "cuffs". ;) I agree with those who don't like the "Reebok" name on the front. The RBK logo would be sharp IMHO.

    First of all I agree with that. Second I asked this before & at the time nobody knew the answer but does anyone know the price of these jerseys? If so could they please be kind enough to post it please thank you.

  10. To the "FIGHTING SIOUX" ya'll are going to be just fine. If you ask me after reading up on this team I think they will make it to a bowl game which one I don't but I think they will make a bowl apperance. GO SIOUX. As for myself i'm ready for Saturday when those when we go chewing up some of those Tennessee Volunteers so on that note GO GATORS SWAMP THE VOLS.

  11. Not sure about the price, I believe the replicas are due into the Sioux Shop at the end of this month. The price would be available then and I would think that they would be online as well, so through the mail would be possible.

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

    SIOUX FAN SINCE

  12. Hell we had a laugher down here at the SWAMP but it's all business next Saturday because it's those Vols from Tennessee coming to the SWAMP & there won't be a empty seat in the house. GO GATOR SWAMP THE VOLS.

  13. Speaking for myself. I have a great deal of respect for THE SIOUX both name & nation. This is someone from the GATORNATION. My respect goes back to 1973 when I was station at Grand Forks Air Force Base. Being from Florida it was a whole new experience altogether. Now having said all of that, when I went to a couple of UND football games & my first time ever seeing a hockey game live was at UND. The UND FIGHTING SIOUX will always be in my heart. Even though I went & graduate from the University of Florida thus the term "THE GATORNATION" I hope you understand that. Looking at UND & ND as a whole learning about the SIOUX NATION i'm glad that they are keeping the name & may it last for many many years to come.

  14. I would prefer to beat the Wildcats, and then have to play the Buckeyes. Of course, that's just me, maybe our favorite team wants to get some payback for the 3-0 whupping they took earlier this season. Either way, I am just going to utter 4 little words now:

    GO SIOUX, JUST WIN!!

    I agree even with those 4 little words but I would like to add a few more like GO SIOUX JUST WIN & LET'S FINISH THE JOB THAT WE HAVE STARTED.

    SIOUX FAN SINCE 1973.

  15. HEY I LOVE IT THE VIDEO SONG EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. GO SIOUX LET'S GET NUMBER 8. I HAVE A STRONG FEELING THAT THIS IS THE YEAR. GO SIOUX WIN IT ALL.

    SIOUX FAN SINCE 1973.

  16. It could be worse, they could be showing basketball. Hockey Rules!

    That's a good one & I like it. Let's agree "HOCKEY DOES RULE." ANY QUESTIONS?

    SIOUX FAN SINCE 1973

  17. I don't think UNH is a bad matchup for you guys. They don't have scoring depth and their goal differential is only +4. This tells me they aren't that strong. BU isn't a great matchup for anyone, but at least if you guys get through there won't be BC waiting for you in DC. Good luck out East!

    That's true.

    SIOUX FAN SINCE 1973.

  18. No matter who's in or not we do have our work cut either way. I will say this though, I would love to see in the championship game be UND vs UND Notre Dame vs North Dakota & the FIGHTING SIOUX take the championship. Hey folks it's just a though.

  19. MTU is an kick ass engineering school and it is hard to get into from what I have been told.

    They do have a business degree.

    Goon that's one I didn't even know to be honest with you. Furthermore MTU sounds a little bit like Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
