I don't remember that, but I do remember this from the very first game in the new Engelstad Arena on Oct. 5, 2001:

This just in over the news wire: University of Minnesota head coach Don Lucia said the reason the Gophers were swept by UND this weekend is because half his players believed the university's policy against playing the Fighting Sioux also applied to hockey.

I just finished my celabratory beer. I'm too pumped up to go to bed.

Damn! I was pulling for the Chargers!

Thank you! That's going to be popular for a long time.

Who won?

Gopher fans have referred to the new Ralph as Mariucci West because of their winning record there. For some reason, the name isn't as popular as it used to be.

Well, the sweep of Minnesota was nice, but it's too bad Lamoureux isn't as good as Briggs and the Sioux freshman are a bust. I guess all we can do is continue limping along and hoping for the best.

I wonder why?

Now we have a worthy replacement video for Spirko's shorthanded goal against the Gophers.

It's against the SiouxSports.com rules to copy and paste posts from other boards here.

Before anyone gets too carried away bashing Lucia for not being on TV after the game, I recall a series Minnesota swept at the Ralph after which Blais sent out Hakstol to talk to the media.

Bring Dean back!

I would like to thank him for the new sig material.

Don't make me go Radke on you!

[O Brother]DELMAR: Care for some gopher? EVERETT: No, thank you Delmar - a third of a gopher would only rouse my appetite without beddin' her back down. DELMAR: You can have the whole thing - me'n Pete already had one...[/O Brother]

Should I post the address where everyone can send their checks for me putting my Sioux jersey on before the second period?

I have one word: WOW! What a great weekend, a great series and a great sweep for the Sioux. PS: Note the updated signature.

Yeah, but you're in a different time zone.

Stat of the day: The Sioux are undefeated when scoring 7 goals.

Toews to Oshie for the highlight reel goal!

Jeez. Keep your shorts on. The game's still on.

Nobody...NOBODY...has an answer for Bina!

I'm almost amazed that Oshie buried that. I've gotten so used to seeing him miss those.

Time for Duncan to get the hatty.
