[Dean Blais is retiring]

Hi folks -- yes I work for the university system and we are so broke that they won't pick up our trash -- we now have to empty it ourselves.

there is also a travel ban in effect, so no travel for anyone.

I will be at the target center this weekend in my UNO gear, so if you see me say hi!

also have an extra ticket if anyone needs it.  going to be a solo act this year.  -- hopefully I can score off craigslist :-)

 

[NORTH DAKOTA @ UNO]

UNO fan wishing safe travels to all making the trip down.  always had a great deal of respect for the program.   hopefully see the sioux fans in chicago this year!!!!

I would be happy just to make the tournament after our epic swoon last year.....

[Jerseys]

I was talking with some of the UND folks when  they were down for the uno game and apparently there is a Chinese company that makes knockoffs -- any one know if that's the case?

I'm looking for an authentic black size 54 and an authentic green size 54. if anyone wans to sell me one drop me an email

I won a game worn grimaldi during one of the auctions a while ago, but that aint leaving the house.

Thanks

[UND vs. UNO]

I booked my room tonight at the Doubletree Hotel-Downtown on Dodge Street in Omaha. Looks like a sweet place. How far from the UNO campus is the hotel? Are there any good bars/clubs in the area? Also, doesn't look too far from the Qwest Center either, so how tough is it to get tickets for the UNO-Notre Dame hockey game on Saturday? What else should we hit up around town?

you are going to be about 4 miles away from campus. It's a straight shot up dodge street. you will be down in the old market area, which is the place to be on the weekends. plenty of bars within walking distance of the hotel. I know old chicago is a hangout for UNO fans after hockey.

It will be real easy to get tickets for UNO hockey. the arena seats 12,000, and we average about 5,000 per game. you can buy tickets on the street for $10 and pretty much sit anywhere you want.

If you have never been to the zoo before, it's worth checking out. one of the top 5 zoos in the nation. (it's on 10th street by rosenblatt stadium. check out the college hockey travel guide for more info on things to see and do.

There is a best western on 108th and L that's pretty decent and resonable. there is also a holiday inn on 72nd and Grover that's closer to the UNO campus.

Should be pretty nice weather for saturdays game. the last one was a great game. I expect no less this time around. UNO needs to do a litte better job covering dressler this time around. Looking forward to all the ND fans making the trip.

Is the band coming again?
