Fighting Sioux Fan

I want to go but didn't plan ahead at all and am unable to go. Next year I am hoping to be better prepared and hope to be able to go to several games.

I don't see UNO going D1. In Nebraska, Nebraska Lincoln is king and UNO would be the red headed step child of the state, (which it probably already is). UNO would never get anything for football recruits except Nebraska cast offs and would be considered a lesser school in all aspects. They are better of staying DII and being a powerhouse there instead of what they would become as a DI school...

Why, more discrimination against UND because of thier use of the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo...

When CAFTA kills any American produced sugar profits, we will see how much more interested sugar beet growers are in ethanol. If they are interested in ethanol, though, why not just grow corn?

As a person of Norwegian descent, I like the idea of the Fighting Norskies! What better mascot would there be then a marauding berserker? But the North Dakota Binge Drinkers works, too. GF was #2 in that category and the state is #1! That is an accurate depiction of our state! Are Binge Drinkers hostile and abusive? Fighting Cavalry is good, too! What a great name to switch to, it goes from one side of the battle to the other! On a serious note, what about Roughriders?

You mean they won't just give it to Kessel because of all of the hype around him...

Go WCHA, I dislike BC much more then I do UW! I'm pulling for the Badgers!

I repeated that quote to my mother-in-law, whose gopher fanaticism is equally matched by her dislike of UND and she got a good chuckle out of it because she knew it was true...

I watch from home, but my heart is in Milwaukee. One day, I'll get to go to this in person. One of my jersey's was worn by a friend of my mom's in '01. That's as close as I have gotten to going so far...

South Dakota, NDSU, Neb. Omaha... My cousin played on USD's club team when he was in graduate school there.

I haven't been to one, but if they had it in GF, I would go!

I've heard, either on the radio or TV, that the event is sold out.

Heck, I am probably going to take Friday off, too! I could really use a three and a half day weekend!

I sit in the upper level during the season, but sat in the lower level for the regional and I prefer the upper level. We can see the entire ice much better from up there while we could not see much along the near boards while in the lower lever, especially on the far end of the ice. Though the atmosphere in the lower level is much better then in the upper level. I think I talked more hockey with the people around me last weekend then I have since the REA opened up. If I could choose any seat in the arena, I would be first row upper level!

I find it hard to believe he deserves it anymore after Friday. I watched him not put extra effort in to pull in the puck in the HC zone. Instead, he let a HC player pick it up and the end result was an OT goal. If he would have put in more effort, he could have at least prevented the HC player from easily gaining control of the puck and maybe the gophers would have won.

The only truely neutral venues would be ST. Loius, California, and FLorida, but how many college fans are going to travel that far and how many locals are going to go? Grand FOrks just proved how much better regionals are in attendance when in college hockey towns.

I'd still go to the other game no matter who was playing it! I enjoy college hockey and don't get to see enough of it! In addition, the regional is a good chance to see teams I have never seen play before live! That was the best thing about UND playing Michigan to me, if I made of list at teams that I would like to see UND play, Michigan would be at the top of the list!

This is all probably stuff that you can figure out by reading the new articles about him.

It's good to see college hockey get some good publicity! The HC overtime goal was #4, I believe on Friday!

In today's GF Herald, it stated that the REA would look into putting in bids for 2010 or 2011. That would be great to have a regional in GF every few years!

Yeah, once the NCAA sees how much $$$ they can make off the playoffs games at UND, it wouldn't surprise me to see thier attitude change a little. I mean, what is one of the big motivators for the NC$$?

I'll believe that NDSU football is more popular then UND hockey when I see the NDSU football team create their own TV channel to show thier games. Beat that...

Considering the fans at the game will be ones that purchased tickets and did not recieve them from a season ticket holder, I expect the crowd to to be louder and rowdier then normal home games. Those type of fans that sit on thier hands during the season won't want to play the price for the tickets for these games.

If the NCAA wants attendance, they'll stick Bemidji in the Grand Forks regional, but they might not want to be so nice to a lower seeded team. I think BSU can beat the gophers...

I'd rather see Michigan, mainly because I have been looking forward to seeing schools I have never seen play before. Which makes it kinda dissapointing to see Min and BC probably coming and I would rather see BSU then Holy Cross, though...
