This is what happened, I'm pretty sure: I just felt bad because when I say I'm showing up to something, I show up. Maybe next time.

Very nice exposure for our little two bit Division II school. I'm sure we'll be reading rebuttals from "others" very soon.

I think this program is VERY well coached. But if this is the case, then no wonder the kid's confidence is shattered. We'll agree to disagree.

Our mistake, then. I'll defer blame to the guy doing the driving.

Just rolled in last night after a great weekend of games. Some random football thoughts: 1. Bobby Stroup is all over the place. This kid is a very, very good football player. I have seen the next Digger. 2. From midway through the 2nd Q on, this game was brutal to watch. Absolutely no flow with all the penalties, incompletions, etc. Painful. Part of that was MSU's offensive style, I suppose. 3. Offensively, the Sioux will need to be better against the likes of UNO and USD to win. I won't go into a Belmore speil, it's been discussed ad nauseum. I agree that we need Manke healthy, like yesterday. 4. Not sure what Dale was thinking at the end of the first half by letting the clock run all the way down and settling for three. Why not take a shot or two at the end-zone? We were baffled. 5. A shout out to the "SIOUX CREW". In Madison, "Jump Around" means what it says, get off your seat, jump around, and shake the place. At the Alerus, it means get off your seat, jump to the nearest aisle, and find the exit as quickly as possible.....of course this only applies to about 50% of the section that was still at the game. It was only 17-3. Pretty weak.

Did a drive-by at about 5:00 Saturday, not a soul was there.

Bump.

Yes. I remember 'cause the Sioux retained the Nickel that weekend. One of the best football tailgaters I've ever been to (70 degree weather in late October). Pretty good series against BC. Chorney and Zajac verballed right after that weekend.

Great memories! One of the great Sioux comebacks was Thanksgiving weekend, 2002: http://www.fightingsioux.com/sports/mhocke...RELEASE_ID=1626 We were fortunate to scrape out a point that night.

Great!! We will be there!! Better have the liver ready. Saturday could be a 16 hour ordeal.

So do I.

You mean as in hot? A cigarette? or both.....

True, some of the bars charge a buck or two. I know the Bun and Rumors were free last season.

I know this doesn't work for everyone, but I'll be riding the free shuttle and spending the difference on beer at my establishment of choice. Simple solution to a complex problem.

Thank you for beating me to the punch. Well said. Men's basketball is a great opportunity, too.

I hear what you're saying Walrus, and Lennon and Co. will do what they think is right, and we'll all continue to support our squad. I'm proud of the 5-0 start. But the fact of the matter is that this team looked like something special the first three weeks, now they are sputtering with Belmore at the helm, and they were fortunate to get wins over teams that many believe will be bottom feeders in this league. If Lennon and his staff say Belmore's the guy, that's good enough for me. But I don't blame people for venting their frustrations on this board, either. That's part of the fun. I hope Reed is ready to go real soon.

Maximus sounds nice! If I were there, I'd want to pet him and give him a big hug!

Wish I could be there. But, we'll be there for Quinnipiac and football against the Purple Land Cows!! Had a blast last March, so if there's a way to pull something off, we'd love to hear about it!! Maybe during the football tailgate. But, I really do like the idea of football tailgate, football game, and keep the party rolling until the puck drops. I'm five hours away, otherwise I'd help coordinate location, etc.

Ripknees is taken, in case any of you were getting any bright ideas.

I grew up with a German Shepherd. His name was Pepper. We rode together in the back of my grand-dads station wagon. He drooled on me a lot. He hated the neighbor kids. He died when I was in fifth-grade. I was very sad. The moral of the story: German Shepherds kick a$$.

This is better than match.com!

Which in turn could, or would slow migration from D-II to DI-AA. The NCAA feels the need to stabilize things and stop the dominos from falling at some point.

This kid thinks the Sioux are gonna do JUST SWELL!!

It's not gonna be that close my friend! That's after two periods! Da Sioux......DA SIOUX!
