Gawd, I PAID to watch this styte? Pathetic, just pathetic. I can't wait till that damn striped team comes to GF. Maybe we should start checking the officials. You can do that against opponents, right?

That was a dive!

Damn, what a chance!

Finally a clear!

Gawd this audio is driving me nuts!

Looks like we are settling in.

BE saves!

UMD wins 4-3

Why should tonight be any different?

My money's on Hak.

Yep, either call em, or let em play.

That's the DU game I expected!

PP GO SIOUX!!!!

That, my friend, was a lucky save.

Dodged a bullet there!

Thanks - I owe you one!

Chev doesn't look too rusty.

What the heck did I do to my forum window? All the posts in this thread now show up as a tree, instead of individual posts. Anybody know what is up? Throw me a bone - between the audio and the forum it is driving me nuts!

We look like dog toss. Fire up boys!

Yep, must be the altitude. (Or is it the attitude?)

We seem to like splits against ranked teams. This could be one. It seems we like to win the first and not show up for the second. Hopefully this series will be different. Remember Bina!

I have been attending Sioux games since the 60's (yes I am that old). First, as a little kid (both parents are alum), then as a student, and now as an alum myself. Yes, the language has turned more vulgar (at least certain chants), but trust me, hockey (at ANY LEVEL, at ANY TIME) is not a prissy game for prissy ears. That is just hockey. Personally, I yell and scream, and (yes) even curse the ref at times. It is sports. Man up and go with it. That is what they told me when I began officiating. Then again, 20 years ago (certainly 30 years ago) officials were NOT the ones who decided the outcome of games, at least on controversial calls (for the most part). Sure, we did not have instant replay, but the bottom line is that "back in the day" (jeez I sound old), they "let 'em play", and rarely MADE controversial calls. Rarely were the OFFICIALS who were on the $h1t list after the game. The whole idea of collegiate sports is to incite spirit into the students (oh, wait, that is also so 1960's - now it is all about MAKING MONEY). I truly believe that the entire enterprise, at least D1 athletics) is all about the money. From the BCS to to Code of Conduct, it all comes down to the mighty dollar. Empty the student section, get those remaining to sit down do that more "sensible folk" can "enjoy the game", and charge those "sensible folk" an arm and leg to attend! Bring collegiate athletics back to the STUDENTS, even if it means old folks like me have to watch it at home or at the local pub. It should all be abouth the students, not about "profits" os "sensibilities". For the record, I don't agree with any racial slurs at games, but those can be dealt with as needed (and without a "code"). Play the game and let the fans enjoy the game.

I think (at least) part of it is that THE REA has enjoyed sold out games (pretty much) for the last few years,and figure they can do whatever they want with total impunity. And after all, those cheap student seats are cutting into their profit margin. These game are college games. They are for the students. We old farts that just happen to be fans should not be driving the bus, IMHO. This should be about, by, and for the students whenever possible. Age-old chants are part of the college heritage. They should ENCOURAGE it for home games.

There are the fans!
