Big A HG

I think all the upperclassmen just f'in hate the colors maroon/brown/red/whatever when combined with yellow/gold/piss/whatever since the Frozen Four last year. That means Minnesota That means Denver and that means Boston College (ok, UMD can play along too)

Was at the game tonight... For whatever reason, it wasn't as enjoyable as the Minnesota series. There's something I hate about Denver and their game that I hate. I love players like Rakhshani (sp?), but the way they were cheap really teed me off. It was hard to watch and I hate Todd Anderson. I never felt comfortable until we scored #7. We need to f'in bring it tomorrow....it's business time. No non-sense Sioux hockey. Intensity for 60 minutes, no letdowns or time to take a nap. DU is gonna bring it. Gwoz will fire up the troops and we need to be ready. One thing that was interesting was when DU came out onto the ice for the start of the second. The away team is supposed to wait for the home team, but DU's guys came out a good 30 seconds before our guys and looked ready to bring it. They were waiting for us. Not sure how much of a hockey "crime" this is, but it was interesting nonetheless. Man, I hope we sweep these guys, but I have a feeling we'll lose a heartbreaker tomorrow.

I was wondering how everyone's favorite non-Sioux player was doing this year.... 29 games played 19 goals 15 assists 34 points ....for.... Mr. Nathan Gerbe. Not too bad for what size he is, but he proved he can play in the Frozen Four last year no doubt. He even got 6 games in the big show, tallying just 1 assist.

Butler musta saw an episode of Saved by the Bell he didn't like...although Malone reacted in anger due to him liking that particular episode. The ref, however, insisted on breaking it up since he didn't see that episode and couldn't make an official ruling on the subject. Just a guess...

Everyone wear their paper bag tonight and tomorrow!

Roche was my choice.

Oh yeah....I have 2, and he looks fairly like me. I'm not worried about that part of it...I just need a dang ticket!

I wish everyone the best of luck with their jobs. It's a frightening experience that can only be known if you experience it...so I hope no one has to. My dad has worked for Kohler Co. for about 20 years and is a Project Manager for some of their operations here in North America and some overseas. His office is slowly shrinking with more and more layoffs. He hasn't gone yet...thankfully...and has been told he'd be the last to go, but it's still scary nonetheless, especially with so few other job oppurtunities out there.

I know that there is a ticket section, but I'm going to post this anyways. I need one student saturday upper bowl ticket for this game. I have a buddy who is coming from Wisconsin on short notice (10-11 drive) and he really wants to see a UND game, but tickets are hard to come by...especially this late. IF YOU HAVE ONE, OR KNOW OF SOMEONE THAT HAS ONE, LET ME KNOW PLEASE!!! I will pay well! Thanks...and GO SIOUX

I did notice that it said UND was the second largest university in the state.....did that change this year? I know for a long time we've been ahead of NDSU in terms of students, even though the gap was closing more and more each year.

I see where you are coming from and understand what you are saying...but didn't we have enough forwards for '09 already assuming everyone stayed...?

I don't see Genoway making the jump. I don't think he'll get an offer after this year that he won't get after next.

You never know with a guy like Vande...also, maybe a guy like Frats or Gregoire? You just never know when the money is in front of them. Other than those 3, I don't see much chance of anyone leaving at all...and the ones I mentioned are slim in my opinion.

Let's hope he can continue to produce at the D1 level. If he comes in for 2010 and stays 4 years, he'll be a true 25 year old Canadian on our team They mentioned how OSU plays in the same conference (WCHA)....which is only partially true.

Being from Wisconsin I love meat and cheese....and it looks so damn good just sitting there.

And he'd tell you that you need to work on your grammar. My roommate refs high school football and basketball in the area. Two weeks after a game he reffed in which Kauk attended, he ran into Kauk. Well, more like Kauk ran into him. The Kaukster made sure my roommate knew he missed a call in the game two weeks before-hand.

About 2 years ago, I kept showing up to the Gateway PM's like a half hour after they closed...darn my bad luck. Now I live on the south end and have had one there a couple times during football games. The problem is, I always eat the cheese and pepperoni all the way home and there's a practically a whole slice missing cheese and pepperoni.

I understand that...which is why I'm against it big time. I was just pointing out that I would't mind if it didn't. Also, it would suck not to get to play Wisconsin and Minnesota each year, but I don't think they'd be disappointed with scheduling us in alternating home series' each year.

I wouldn't mind it if it didn't spell doom and gloom for college hockey.

You would if you knew as much about hockey as you think you do.

I think a Big Ten conference can be successful with 6...but no less. The teams are all big money schools and traveling isn't much of a dent in their annual expenses. It's not like a 6 team CHA where they are all small schools with limited budgets and spread across the country. However, there still are only 5 teams with hockey, so I don't see it as a possibility until there is a 6th. To say they need as many as 5 other teams to join isn't necessary. They really only need 1, in my opinion.

There should be an online version of the media guide. I've used it before for this reason and found my answers. I'll see if I can dig it up. Never mind, I realized you already checked it. But just so you know you aren't going crazy, it isn't in there like you mentioned.

PS3 Simulation, played by the computer (not me) Game 1 DU 2 UND 1 Shots: 36-18 UND First Period 2-1 DU Second Period 2-1 DU Third Period 2-1 DU All goals came in the first. UND was flying the whole game, and had a lot of great opportunities, but got stymied by the goaltender. The defense played great, but Denver

Watching tonights replay of WI and CC right now. What do ya know, the two teams get in a big fight, and UND isn't even in the same state. I'm sure we caused it somehow...
