So you were flopping around the closet stopping imaginary pucks. You goalies are a strange breed even in retirement.

You've shut down better than Rocco, haven't you Wilbur?

Be nice to score several more, but a 1-0 game might be just what Gothberg needs.

Minor is a good call.

Ready to get Hammered!

Look, it's no secret all Gopher players wear panties under their breezers and like to give you the little wiggly middle finger when you shake their hand. It would make me want to lash out in disgust too. I'm sorry, Mariucci; I know you're sensitive about this kind of thing and you are a guest here, but it's just not normal.

Don't be intimidated so easily, gfhockey. Grow a pair. Stand up and insist you want another championship.

It's been some time now since gfhockey has put up a decent post--just the same old simplistic whining you might expect from a UAB fan. We Sioux fans are expected to perform at level befitting our great tradition. Time to ban him.

We will know a hell of a lot more next Sunday morning.

I'm sure Red got a few "Take the body!" moments out of that footage.

The Sioux had a JV team in those days, and some of the JV guys did not like Gino at all. I think Rube was pretty mellow at that point, and Gino had some edge, and I suspect he was in charge of the JV squad. Sounds like a lot of you guys remember the old barn. No heat so sneaking in booze and win in those big air force parkas was so easy it was hardly hidden. Wire mesh in the end zone, where the cymbals guy would crash opposing players when they got their head up against the wire.

Did you get to know Greg Cameron?

I saw that first game as well (Jeff Sauer and CC, I believe) after watching a year of games at the old barn and returned in '89.

That's not picking, that's mining for gold.

Were you a student in those days, W Sioux?

I think you meant circle of sticks.

Lot of chances to hear "Justin Doooooooooooooooooooobermannnnn"

If you call him, and I hope you do, ask him what he remembers about the circle of sticks.

fiche or are they scanned in?

Are the old Herald articles electronically searchable?

We talk about the explosive firepower we had with DOT, but that team could really put the puck in the net.

Assuming this was the Greg Johnson-Dixon Ward led offense, I can sure see that happening. I was a student then as well and did not miss games without a reason, but I don't remember that one. Sober then and senile now, so . . .

Hell, grant him tenure. He'll be even better when he's 75.

I always thought getting hammered involved drinking too much alcohol. Now I understand that is not true--you can get Hammered simply by watching Sioux hockey.

Tim H uses "cleared but not out" a lot too.
