GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!! Fuher at 12:41.

It counts in the PWR as a non-conference game.

This is bulls#$t. Going to Hennessy now.

Black screen here, also.

I was able to register this morning, and it was still free. Though I guess if you're on dial-up, it's a mute point.

Walsh Hall - An Overnight Sensation

Single game tickets go on sale Saturday morning, 9/27 at 9am, at the above number. From experience, I'd suggest calling well before 9. If you can get standing room tickets scattered, take 'em and stand together anywhere. No one has kicked us out of our squares yet, and I've gone five seasons in a row. Another strategy that's worked for us, if you have the time on your hands, is to get to the ticket office at Mariucci about 4pm on Friday, gameday. There are usually a handful of unused tickets that come back from the Gopher family and friends section, but you have to wait in line a good hour, at least. We sat next to the Guyers during the Friday game last season.

Holy s#@t!! Bison win with a furious second-half comeback. Montana's kicker (who will set the all-time Griz scoring record this season) misses a 40 yarder as time expires. Bison win, 25-24. The Montana announcers said the NDSU offensive line dominated in the second half. Disclaimer: I'm a UND grad and love bashing the Bison as much as the rest of us, but give credit where credit is due. This is a hell of a win.

Peter Armbrust wristing the puck past DeBus in overtime at the old Civic Center, to win the '97 Broadmoor. I think we all know how the rest of that season turned out.

Let's add the Hrkac Circus numbers to the discussion: '87 (48 games) T. Hrkac 46-70-116 B. Joyce 52-37- 89 S. Johnson 26-44- 70

You're talking about Fournier, right?

What you don't seem to understand is that no one here gives a tinker's damn whether you respect us or not. To be honest, I usually enjoy the postings of most of the Gopher fans that visit this board. With that said, why do you feel compelled to come over to a Sioux board and defend the Gophers? You should be basking in the glory of another Frozen Four appearance. This explains why most of the fans in the league can't stand you. It's not the coaches and players (Lucia seems like a class act, and the players I've seen on the Sunday night shows seem like good kids), it's fans like you. I figured that given your success this weekend, you could bite your tongue and keep garbage like this off this board. That was too much to ask.

Yes. I know a few people that will be rolling in around 3:30.

Best memories: Shooting pool with Eddie Belfour on a regular basis as a freshman in Walsh Hall. Buck pitchers on a Friday afternoon at the Spud, and standing in line in sub-zero weather at the Old Englestad not knowing we were watching history being written: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues...0005821987.html Hrkac Circus: 46-70-116? You've got to be kidding me!!!! 124 goals?? That's RIDICULOUS!! 40-8, National Champs? Best team ever.

Shouldn't be too difficult to find the feed at Senser's. I hope people plan on showing up, so we can reserve the big screen in the usual spot.

My contact at Ferris called back tonight, and he was told by his connection at Ferris Cable 7 that the game is being broadcast over C-band, which is the same way that the games from the REA are transmitted. For those of us in Minneapolis/St.Paul, that means the game will be available for viewing at Joe Senser's. Anyone want to volunteer to reserve a couple of tables? The test signals should start running about 3 pm CST, and I plan on getting there early to help the guy in the DJ booth find the feed.

Buffalo Wild Wings? DiMaggio's? Whitey's? I'm not sure.

Seems as though Hammy and Greyeagle are both logged in.

I'm working the Ferris State angle. I just called the radio home of Ferris State hockey, and spoke with the Bulldog hockey play-by-play guy. He is almost certain that Ferris Cable 7 is not producing this themselves, and are grabbing the feed from somewhere. He told me he would ask the guy over at Cable 7 about where the feed is coming from, and would call me back tomorrow. I'll keep you informed. Bottom line, if the transmission is via satellite, we'll all need to find a sports bar with a ten-foot dish. In my neck of the woods, that'd be Joe Senser's. When I told him that Grand Forks cable was not picking up the game, he sounded as disgusted as we all are. Stay tuned.

Yes. I also left a message at Ferris Cable 7, with the same question. I'll try again later this afternoon. BTW, it looks like they bit-stream FC7 at www.ferris.edu, but that would be a last resort. I doubt the site will handle the traffic we'd be talking about.

Does anyone know if the satelitte feed will be coming from the same coordinates as the Fighting Sioux network, if it is a satellite feed? I called Midcontinent, but I can't seem to get past the call center in Aberdeen. They said they would call back with that information after talking with the GF office, but I'm skeptical whether the call-back will ever come. Those of us in the Twin Cities need those coordinates to give to Senser's.

Here's how I think it will shake out. I'll be interested in seeing what all of you think. Northeast Region (Worcester, MA) (1) New Hampshire (2) Boston U (3) Harvard (4) MSU-Mankato Tough first-round matchup for the Wildcats, but with CC and Minnesota getting the #1 seeds out West, the first-round WCHA matchups need to be avoided. Heavy Beanpot flavor with BU-Harvard, which should ensure good attendance. East Region (Providence, RI) (1) Cornell (2) Boston College (3) Ohio State (4) St. Cloud State Cornell, being the stronger one-seed from the East draws the weaker of the #2 tier, at least according to PWR. Cornell and BC fans pack the house. Midwest Region (Ann Arbor, MI) (1) Colorado College (2) Maine (3) Michigan (4) MAAC Winner Looking at this draw, I wouldn't like Michigan's chances of getting out of Yost. Then again, that's what we thought about Denver last season. West Region (Minneapolis, MN) (1) Minnesota (2) Ferris State (3) North Dakota (4) Wayne State Goofs earn the #1 with the Saturday night win at the X. No empty seats at Mariucci this weekend.....last one out of Grand Forks, hit the lights and check the thermostat. Stub and Herbs, Sally's, this is your dream bracket. There's my two cents. The underlying assumption: put as many rear-ends in the seats as possible at all sites. Your impressions......... Finally, GO SIOUX!!!!

UND should be in good shape under this scenario. In a head-to head "ro-sham-bo" situation, RPI will be used to break the tie. UND's RPI is ahead of both Providence and SCSU in the scenarios I ran. Also, the weighting of "quality wins" is an X factor. The neutral-site win over Michigan in October might end up being the difference between a #3 and #4 seed. MavsFan, I agree 100%. If SCSU went to the tournament at MSU-M's expense, the whole damn thing should be blown up, and something more subjective like the NCAA hoops selection method should be implemented.
