Big A HG

I just saw that there is a list of cities you can submit essays to bolster their status, and Grand Forks isn't one of them. You can, however, submit an essay making a case for Cavalier, ND if you like. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/titletown/n...tory?id=3339921

The Ralph is meaningless in a story like this....especially since the Sioux have won exactly ZERO titles since playing in the new Ralph. There's plenty of great facilities in all sports throughout North America, many of which a team has actually won in. Writing a large paragraph on something meaningless to the story isn't going to get Grand Forks the term Titletown. Something tells me this whole story is set up just to re-give Green Bay the term in the long run.

Nothing has a name as appealing as Madison Square Garden...so many legends from all different sports/interests have been in that building.

ND high schools probably would win any high school championship count in the country because there are like 4 schools that have a chance at winning every year in like all the sports and half the teams make it to state.

The arena only holds around 5000 I believe, which in my opinion, would be too small.

Apparently mine wasn't either.

Isn't that what you did in the Brett Favre retirement thread?

This label is as old as the Green Bay tradition. This is something they earned years ago and has been forever a label of that team/city. To strip it from them just because of the drought they've had is like taking a historic label away from the Red Sox, or the Lakers or Celtics, etc... Green Bay earned this title years ago in the legendary history of pro football. This is not something you take away just to take it away.

I think if we want to score next year we'll have to ditch the dump and chase. We won't have the same size/strength/physicality that we've had in the past due to being so young. All our upperclassmen are going to have to kick it up two notches at least. Watty, Darcy, Martens, Kozek etc... Frattin needs to break out as well. The nice thing is that he has the ability to.

Why is ESPN even doing this....Green Bay is and forever will be Titletown USA.

I don't think any members here have had their official farewell announcements yet....hopefully all we lose are some of the idiots on here.

Did Genoway get cut?

[rant] So many Sioux fans make being a Sioux fan a joke. To see everyone just ripping apart a few people for not winning a hockey game is unbelievable. Do some of you honestly believe that these guys aren't trying to win or something? It's an embarrassment to see and hear what's all being said. When you lose 6-1, it's a team thing, not something caused by a few individuals. So many of you are on and off the bandwagon all year, every year, and need to just stay off. If they are so horrible, don't even waste your time cheering for them if you are just going to rip them the next day. Many of you are spoiled crybabies...spoiled being the key word. So many teams wish they could even sniff a chance at a game like this. 55 other teams dreamed they even had an oppurtunity to lose 6-1 just so they could have that chance at winning. Some teams will NEVER make it this far. Us..? We take it for granted that we'll be here, and some appreciate it, and some abuse it. Hakstol is a great coach. Finley is a great defenseman. Lamoureux is a great goaltender. Almost every team wishes they could have our facilities, our coaching, and many of our players. Hell, even the NHL wishes they had some of our players. Next year, when we are at it again with a fresh new team and a clean slate, I hope many of you are not a part of it, because it is a complete joke that some of you call yourself "fans." If there is anything to bash, it's you. [/rant] PS: Go Notre Dame!

Oh, I was told ACL...didn't read the paper, still in Denver. I'm probably wrong, but either way, it might leave a crack in the door. Marc is a big advocate of staying in school as well.

I can see Duncs being back, but only him if any really. Chorney tore his ACL during the game so maybe if the extent of his injury is bad enough he would consider coming back to rehab for the season...? I do NOT wish that upon him just to see him back, but it's just a thought.

Got in at about 2:30am last night local time. Let's get it on!

At least you wouldn't have to ask for a beer...err....soda since you'd be chillin right next to the cooler, haha.

He who go to bed with itchy tooshie wake up with stinky finger.

Last chance everyone! We leave tomorrow 11am sharp, still with two spots open!!! YOU WILL BE disappointed if you don't go and you only get to see us raise the banner next year and missed out on why they are hanging it... YOU WILL GET tickets for cheap right at the Pepsi Center YOU STILL have a chance!

There is still room for two!!! If you are considering going, PLEASE let us know. This is the oppurtunity of a lifetime!

No, Paris is way less annoying.

The Notorious B.I.G. to the rescue...

My roommate might...I wouldn't care, I'm taken. Anyone else interested? No hotel is booked yet, but can still be done....if a pair of people are going with a hotel booked already and wanted to pair up, that'd be fine! Let me know! Thanks

OK, so....my roommate and I are carpooling down to Denver....our original plans had fallen through, no big deal, just need to replan what's going on. We need two more people to join us in a carpool down, or we would consider carpooling down with others if necessary, depending on the plans. This is perfect for those that were 50/50 about going and didn't make plans. We estimate gas to cost 60-65 per person (roundtrip) and then split hotel room 4 ways. We are both of legal drinking age and are both guys, but would welcome anyone of any age, gender, etc. We just want to get there and back and do it as cheaply as possible! Our unofficial plan is to leave Grand Forks Wednesday evening. We would either go about halfway and stay overnight and drive the rest in the morning, or if we are feeling good we'd drive all the way through. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TICKETS, DO NOT WORRY!! TICKETS WILL BE PLENTIFUL OUTSIDE OF THE PEPSI CENTER NO DOUBT!!!! We need all the Sioux fans we can get to cheer on #8, so if you have any consideration, please contact me through here or PM. I am at work until 9 or 9:30 tonight so I may not be able to reply right away, but please let me know if you are interested!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks

You can drive....but can you drive 55? I know Sammy Hagar can't.
