andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!!

I would definitely like to see one last game played at the old Ralph. It is even kind of sad that it might be torn down; but it is just taking up space right now as far as I know. I wonder what kind of shape it is in to play hockey though?

While it is sure nice that the Standing Rock and Spirit Lake Nation Indians have given us their support, which they should, we should still be able to use the "Fighting Sioux" name with out their permission. I hope Illinois (along with all other schools with Indian nicknames) also get to continue to use their respective nickname. Just because some people think a nickname is hostel and abusive dosen't give them the right to ban it. I don't care whether they have a majority or not.

Thanks a lot fighting sue! Also thanks for posting the link, I love to look at that kind of thing.

I know this dosn't really fit the thread but I did not know where else to ask it. Does anyone know how many people Memorial could hold for a game?? What kind of attendance did they have there? Just wondering. Thanks.

I don't think it is that immature. Their win against Minn. is only part of the reason I am going to buy a Holy Cross T-shirt, heck, I was given a gopher jersey earlier today and I am not sure what to do with it but I sure am not going to throw it away! Holly Cross is, if I am not mistaken, a Catholic school and I am Catholic. They have a cool nickname in the Crusaders. Also they are not a very well known school (at least as far as I know-maybe in B-ball or something they are better known). They are a D-1AA football school, now I have a team to cheer for at that level. Go Crusaders!!!!!! Go Sioux!!!!!!

Well, I realy don't know what the atmospere is like at a Sioux football game , I have never been to one (I sure would like to go to one sometime though but not living in Grand Forks presents a problem) I still think football should be played outside, but I will admit the weather up here in the North Land makes that a bit hard.

The above reasons for not playing at night are exactly why the Sioux should play outside, sometimes at night. The atmosphere for an indoor game is just not as good as that of an outdoors game. The least the Sioux could do is play a few early season games outside at the old place.

Thanks so much for posting those clips, they are cooooooolll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if this has been brought up yet but I don't want to read through 23 pages of posts. I heard that Drew Stafford and Jordan Parise are good friends and that they play in the same band. Any how, some body who writes for the UND newspaper thinks that Stafford will be back next year. Make what you want of it but it would sure be nice if he was back!

Thanks Mike for four years of hockey at UND!! I hope your future goes well. I am glad you went to the Fighting Sioux and left such good memories for us, thanks again.
